Product Information

Thanks to its smooth consistency, as you massage it into your hair you’ll notice that it has minimal tug and pull. Layrite is famous for its line of pomades created by barber Donnie Hawley (who promotes his products with instructional, if unintentionally amusing, YouTube videos).

Men that shy away from shine completely would definitely be better off going for a clay or fiber paste instead. Curly Vs Straight Hair

Forming Cream will need to be used on a daily basis if you intend on washing your hair every day.

It can be worked into dry or damp hair, depending on your hair type and whatever style you’re aiming for. What you use to distribute it is up to you. Finger-combing is a good option for a lot of men, especially if you’re looking for a slightly messier or more tousled finish.
