LayriteDeluxe Original Pomade, 4oz

I love it. This is by far the best hair product known to man. I usually go through about one jar every two months, but it is so very worth it. The pomade has a very subtle smell to it, maybe a little hint of vanilla in there. Not sure on that. It's easy to scoop out and apply, it holds great for classic styles like the Pompadour. I am writing this review to share how this pomade changed my life. I'm a 18 year old guy with a terrible hairstyle. I do some research about greasers and pompadours, etc. I stumble upon this legendary hairstyle and try to fix one up for myself, I go out to the store and buy a can of Murray's Pomade. This is some real petroleum based stuff we're talking about here. This Murray's stuff is NO joke. I have the cut already and get out the Murray's pomade. All goes well, or at least I thought. I got the hairstyle going, my hands feel like they have been dunked in a bucket of grease and dirty cigarettes, and I think I feel pretty decent. Later that night i was going to take a shower, I hop in and shampoo my hair, but to my dismay. The Murray's is NOT coming out o my hair. It's stuck. I begin to panic in the shower, I'm breaking down at this point after shampooing 8 times with no results. I fall to the bottom of my shower, curled up in a little ball, crying, weeping, ... I do not know who I am at this point. I finally find this product. A Water soluble pomade. Layrite Pomade. I order a jar instantly. I get the product and apply it to my hair, it's flawless, it's beautiful, it's smooth. I get the pomp up and get a nice sharp part with NO hair sticking up out of place. I am very impressed by the Layrite, I go out in town and get compliments left and right. The Layrite pomade has changed my life, after a terrible run in with Murray's, I find this gem and I find myself again. This product made me a believer. It is phenomenal. I shower and it comes out with ONE shampooing, all of it. Great. Very happy guy. I recommend this product to anyone who likes to have a great hairstyle, and a great time.

NOTE: The ORIGINAL pomade is exactly the same as the DELUXE. It has just been renamed. I confirmed this with a Layrite customer service rep via email:"Hello Megan,We still have the deluxe but it is now considered Original.I as well am a female and use the Original.Thank you!Misty HerringshawLayrite Support Team"This stuff is hands-down the best product I've ever used in my hair. I'm a woman and have had a pixie cut since middle school, so I've tried all sorts of gels and waxes and junk. Nothing tops Layrite. It has a firm but silky hold which is easy to restyle, washes out with water, and bestows a soft but styled look. It's easy and clean to apply and doesn't get too stiff/crusty like gels. It makes my hair looks effortless. I get at least one compliment a day for my hair and it's thanks to Layrite.Also, the friend who first recommended this to me told me the scent "drives women wild." I was surprised to find out she wasn't exaggerating. I've had multiple women friends sniff my head, roll their eyes, and go in for a deeper inhale. My girlfriend buries her face in my head. Chicks dig the mild, almost-not-there vanilla scent. Try it.

Alright so I've tried out a few different pomades and hair products in general and most of the time I reach for Layrite. The few products I rotate out somewhat regulaly are this, American Crew Pomade and Fiber, and Murray's original pomade. Alright so quick rundown of each product with respect to Layrite. Keep in mind I have hair on the thinner side.American Crew Pomade:- Hold is slightly less strong= Holds for a similar amount of time= Smell is slightly less strong but not as good IMO as Layrite+ AC Pomade I have seen in stores, if you really need it now- More expensive= Washes out easyAmerican Crew Fiber:+ Slightly stronger hold- Sticky application, not really a big deal just unfavorable for me- Doesn't hold for as long- Odd smell, not bad, just smells a little much like a hairstyling product+ Easier to find in stores in my experience- More expensive= Washes out easyMurray's:= Smell is pretty great for both, maybe a little better personally with Murray's+ Definitely cheaper than all these products+ Easier to find in local stores, in my experience- Slightly Sticky application- Somewhat hard to wash out if you use more than a small finger dab- Really hard to get off your hands in one wash+ Excellent hold and pretty good looksSo all products get used, but Layrite to me is more consistent, the hold is strong enough to last through the majority of the day, it is easy to work with and wash out, and it smells great, like a vanilla bean sort of scent although it is a tad strong for some.Murray's would be perfect if it wasn't such a pain to get off your hands, and if someone or something touches your hair its more of a task to get rid of residue vs any of the other products mentioned.AC Pomade and Fiber are both good products, I like the smell of the pomade and the hold isn't as great but still decent, although the price is pretty high. Same with fiber, although the smell is eh, but the matte look and hold are pluses for me.

Super good quality product. Great smell as well!
