Layrite Natural Matte Cream 42g | Medium Hold | Water Soluble | Matte Finish

Quite the rip-off. This product is positioned as a value alternative to a more expensive (26 €) version. The expensive version is three times bigger (normal size) however.

Layrite Hair Clay is a great option for styling your hair while keeping a natural, textured look. It provides a good hold without making your hair look overly shiny or greasy. The clay is easy to work with and allows you to restyle your hair throughout the day. It’s especially suitable for messy, textured hairstyles and gives you a matte finish. Overall, a solid product for everyday styling if you want a natural look with good control.

I used to use Old Spice Spiffy pomade, which was the medium hold matte finish one, but they recently changed the formula and totally destroyed the product, so I started trying some other brands. Layrite was the perfect replacement and is a noticeable upgrade. Spreads very easily through your hair, has a good medium hold which allows you to easily restyle on the fly by just running your hands through your hair, and little to no residue is left on your hands. The finish has a noticeable shine when your hair catches some light, but doesn't look greasy or wet. The cream soda scent is smooth and subtle, and the product washes out easily. I will say though, it is definitely on the high end of the price spectrum when it comes to pomades, for comparison the current Old Spice is $5 for 65g, Dove Men Medium hold is $8 for 49g, Layrite is $13 for 42g, and Reuzel is $19 for 35g. It's more expensive than it'd like it to be, but out of the products I've tried this was the best for my hair. Just bought a 297g tub, definitely a better value. The 42g tub lasted me about 2 months using it almost daily.

Real nice smell and the hold lasts all day. It washes out easily in the shower but honestly my hair looks great when I wake up. It’s in a completely different shape but I almost wish I could style it that way all the time. It’s easy to style your hair in a way that adds texture too. I myself have an undercut and it works great for styling back and to the side. I usually need a maximum hold product to achieve this

My barber recommended this Layrite matte paste, and I really enjoy it. It has a nice hold without feeling sticky at all, and it has a really nice smell to it. Overall, it’s a great product and easy to work with.
