Well we are finally at the last installment of the Layrite line. After using both of their lighter holds, we are finishing with their Super Hold. This one is a pretty common product so I’m sure a lot of you guys have used it before. But for those of you who haven’t, here we go. In as little as four steps (taking it out, applying it on the palms, scrubbing on the hair, and styling as you wish), the pomade promises to keep your hair in a steady curl balance. Is It for You? One of the first things you’ll notice about this Dapper Dan Heavy Hold Pomade is the awesome scent. Once you unscrew the lid off of the metal tin, your nose is greeted with a very unique and masculine fragrance of licorice and vanilla. It smells warm and slightly sweet, without being too strong or overbearing.

If you’re a woman, you can use it too. It’s not ordained for men only, just to let you know. What if you have long hair? All you do after reading is to choose one. Or buy one. Whatever comes to mind first. The review comes first. And then I’ll compare them. The Suavecito Pomade Firme Hold is one of the popular pomades out there. It comes in a 4 oz jar in the well-known classic Suavecito look.It comes in their standard 4oz white plastic tub with a screw top lid. Like the other two it has a wrap around label and a lid label. This one is basically a negative of their deluxe. Or rather that one is a negative of this one. Where the yellow was on that one this one of brown and where the brown was is yellow on this one. The only main difference on this one is it has a banner underneath the name with “super hold” in it. Both on the lid label and the wrap label. We're proud to announce that our mailing bags are made from recycled polythene and are also recyclable, and our bubble wrap is made from recycled plastic and is completely recyclable. The Layrite Superhold is a pomade that comes in a similar size to the Suavecito that is designed for difficult to manage hair as well as demanding styles.

After talking with Mike about their grooming spray he gave me a technique he uses that works great for him with that one combined with this stuff. So I let my hair completely dry the second day, then re-wet my hair with the grooming spray. After the spray I applied the super hold, per Mike’s instructions. He said it makes the application a little easier and adds a little bit of hold. Once I put the pomade in I noticed that it was actually harder to put in and distribute for me. Combing was almost twice as difficult and took twice as long and I noticed ALOT of hairs got ripped out using this method. I did notice that the pomade distributed quite a bit more evenly and I didn’t have to scoop multiple times. So for me it’s not really that much more of a help, but Mike definitely knows his products so I’d suggest trying it. It might work for you like it does for him, but for me it didn’t really work. It’s a water-based pomade, like Suavecito and a lot easier to remove compared to oil-based pomades. In terms of quality, both Layrite and Suavecito are similar. They are so good too many barbers are recommending them. If your barber hasn’t then don’t worry too much. You can get a good one if he isn’t helping.Don’t worry though, most people start with Layrite and gradually go for superior quality as they learn more about what to look for in a pomade. I’ll like to tell you there are many other things, aside from those mentioned in this article, to look for. But they might not be as important. And maybe even be a waste of time?
