Suavecito Pomade vs. Layrite Original Pomade | Brand Battle

[@jamesrosa3835]

I dare you to try moco de gorila

[@imretarded97]

I used to use that in middle school lol it smells good though

[@ManForHimself]

James Rosa I'll look out for it

[@leahhinojosa1002]

Nooo 😂😂😂

[@jasonarceboss]

LMFAOOOOOO

[@allaboutlifestyle9162]

Hey Robin, I appreciate the fact that even though you're not into these kind of slick back style, you still bother to do a review on these two products, and also the fact that you welcome both guys and girls in your video. Small things, but I just wanna let you know. Cheers!

[@landobarr1926]

suavecito works way better for curly and thick hair.

[@MrJcra15]

Really? I've got stubborn thick curly hair that I like to side part. I've only used layrite superhold though

[@azeael8429]

OGP can you give me an insight how the Layrite work? My hair is thick and a little bit curly. I want to get the traditional slick back look.

[@MrJcra15]

@@azeael8429 it works very well for straightening wavy and curly hair. It is a high hold mid shine product but it works very well when I slick my hair back or for a side part. Holds all day as well

[@azeael8429]

@@MrJcra15 Thank you :D

[@T3l3MuNd0]

I use the original suavecito to slick my hair. But right after i slick it i put a fingernail of the oil base suavecito to keep it slick & smelling good.

[@FarikoPacer]

The Suavecito you’ve used in this video is a strong hold pomade. The ones that don’t harden as fast are the 2018 Sandwood, Matte, and medium hold Suavecito. Like he said, Suavecito is used for that greaser and rockabilly look. Simple things like slick backs and some slick backs with a twist. Made for thick hair. It’s directed in the Mexican/Latin path. Hints the name and where it comes from (California) here in CA there’s hella Mexicans including myself that use Suavecito. 10/10 for me best stuff I used in years. I like that it hardens fast and strong. Recently picked up the Sand wood 2018 Suavecito, medium hold and doesn’t dry quick. Still holds good just not as strong!

[@kissme4492]

Besides this and Tres Flores what else do Latinos use to slick back hair ?

[@Haloreach66850]

Agüevo perro

[@atrpunk]

I love Layrite (including the smell) and I've used it on and off for more than 5 years now. I've *just* discovered Suavecito and I was also struck by the similarity....except for price. I pay between $12 and $17 for Layrite, while Suavecito was only $9. I'm excited about the $3-9 savings - it adds up.

[@BenArthur]

Both of the packages look cheap tbh don't they

[@Wildchildinc]

They look cheap, but they perform really good. Honestly you get more bang for your buck on these two than the extra 5-10 bucks on Crew, Hanz De Fuko, and other salon type products for example. From my experience with these two entry level water bases, I get better control, hold, and durability overall. The key with these types of pomade is to apply with relatively damp hair.

[@billclitton5863]

I dont really like either. The meaning of a pomade is to stay somewhat re-styleable. Which both dont do. The shine also fades throughout the day.

[@Wildchildinc]

Bill Clitton You neglect the title, water based pomade. If you want re-style go with traditional pil bases like Lockharts.

[@billclitton5863]

CrushedJustice How do I neglect it? Im just stateing that if a water-based pomade is a gel-type its basicly a glorified gel, I see very few things that differantiet a water-based pomade from a gel.

[@Wildchildinc]

Bill Clitton The book definition of pomade is scented ointment for styling which a gel could fall under that definition. Water soluble pomades dry, but not to the extreme like gels. In the case for forming pompadours, typical gels don't allow much room for control in shaping nor do they control waves/curls very well. In comparison, water soluble pomades offer the control, shaping, and hold that typical gels don't allow for. Once water is added to typical gel, ability to restyle is completely gone because the product washes out where as a water soluble pomade still allows users to add water and restyle to an extent. There are alternate "water soluble" pomades like O'douds that act like oil bases, but don't completely wash out because of the wax content.

[@TDMStyle]

That blazer you're wearing is FRESH! Love it. And, great video as always!

[@webheadgabe1177]

Love seeing the kinds of videos of yours that got me into styling my hair ! Remember using your Alex turner tutorial years ago and going for that greaser look . Nowadays I've grown it out I don't use products but it's always great to see stuff like this . Great video Robin !

[@ManForHimself]

WebHeadGabe117 Thank you

[@ChadimusMaximus11]

The smell really surprised me because I love the smell of the suavecito.

[@ironlungs3120]

Same I don’t even have to wear cologne lol it’s pretty strong

[@BenArthur]

Try Johnny's Chop Shop Wild Cat Hair Clay (High hold matt finish)

[@ManForHimself]

EveryMan Hey! Still to try but will get into it. Just checked your channel- good work!!

[@BenArthur]

Oh thanks Robin! :)

[@cisthej]

suavecito was my first hair product. i feel like this is common with alot of guys as an entry into hair products

[@Knosferatu]

The best men's hair channel. Thank you so much my guy!

[@billysinge8977]

I was a greaser when I was younger, so got really into these pomades, then around the age of 15 I transitioned to sharp casual/dapper style, but I kept using pomades for my hair. I’ve always been a fan of those pomade-wearing stars like Elvis Presley, so I allowed myself to go on with the same hairstyles and products. For my hair type (thick, straight but fairly wavy) oil based pomades are superior to all other products, and I’ve tried many.

[@chrisguzman7926]

yess the Don Juan pomade is my favorite pomade I've used

[@shaniell.mathur6372]

Suavecito firme hold pomade - works really well on my thick , wavy semi curly hair . I’ve tried many other brands and I always go back to Suavecito strong hold

[@lancer717]

I’m after the product that has the healthiest ingredients

[@gickojerke1262]

Many say that suavecito is the most gel-like water based pomade they have ever used..... Opinions?

[@stephl9730]

I love your hair in this video!! I stumbled upon you only a week ago and can’t stop watching your videos now.

[@zachtrapper2398]

i just tried the Suavecito and he wasn't lying, it dries super fast, like in seconds. this was me first pomade though, but i am kinda satisfied so far. i have super thick hair that wont stay down, so im using it to slick back and its holding pretty well.

[@badass0073]

How long shine lasts

[@simonrockstream]

Damn! Insane volume you got in the intro! Sleek video as always! :D Have a great day Robin!

[@ManForHimself]

Simon Rockstream Cheers Simon!

[@Appleaddict22]

I have Suavecito firme and I can confidently say it's the best hair product I've ever used. It takes me about 10 minutes to style my hair and it definitely doesn't dry out.

[@Ramsfan-x7t]

George better than layright super hold?

[@georgechristoforou6965]

Haven't tried it bud

[@MichaelAngelo-]

George what does the suavecito smell like?

[@benutting3521]

Definitely does!

[@chrisaguilar2462]

it’s tru It smells like a cologne the smell is good

[@aliffikri4026]

100k!!!Congrats Robin,you deserve it

[@mauriciolomeli2940]

If you ignore Robin James' score on which felt great on your hands, smell and packaging, the score is Layrite 3 vs Suavecito 3. I choose Suavecito as the winner because the finish is better and your scalp's health is very important.

[@mauriciolomeli2940]

But by all means, thank you Robin James for this video. It helped me stick to my decision.

[@jovanemontes80]

Ive tried various products for my hair. And Suavecito works great on my hair i love their products never dissapoint.

[@MattGreen570]

Would love to see a complete Hanz de Fuko vs Battle. I know you've done a couple reviews already, but it would be interesting to see which product is best in rankings for a universal hairstyle or even how many different hairstyles you can do for each product. As always, love the simplicity and structure to all of your videos.

[@Memoriessincetheyear]

Mister pompadour peppermint pomade vs Pete and Pedro pomade. Round 2 for both companies

[@refnerbooi8849]

Mike Michaux thats why robin want to use wax that is the same but are from different company to see which is better

[@mikeym94]

Refner Booi you don't get it. it's exactly the same product. made in the same lab but with other packaging

[@refnerbooi8849]

Mike Michaux its made in different lab and its ingredients are different

What kind of product are using in the video ? Has a lot of volume and looks very natural. I clicked on the link but it says invalid

[@manniearredondo]

What pomade do you suggest for thicker wavy hair? Im currently using Suavecito matte finish and hair cream on occasion

[@netnavigator3264]

Did you find anything? What are you using currently?

[@Jeff-312]

Layrite has been my go to for awhile, but I just recently ordered Suavecito because I’ve always heard so much about it. I’m excited to see how it works with my hair.

[@wunnaaung7386]

What products sitting on your hair during the whole cast......cuz I rlly love that hairstyle high volume and good hold and great texture

Layrite Super Hold vs Suavecito Firme Hold.....

[@ManForHimself]

idanor glazier Id be interested to see how they differed.

[@idanor38]

I like this comparison but I'm bye Layrite super hold (I have Wavy Curly hair...). I used in Suavecito but I hate this product beacause this pomade it's gel for me and he's make the hair krippy.....

[@idanor38]

Thnk's on this comparison:)

[@STILLNIGHTPEARL]

Idanor Glazier I've used both, Layrite super hold works way better on my wavy hair, the hold lasts longer throughout the day.

[@jpolka24]

I have fine hair and just recently got an undercut and am trying to go for a slicked back look. What product would you recommend? Should I use a pomade or something else?

[@liv.ap26]

what do you say about a review or battle with "alfaparf milano s4u f'nk" , i found on the internet that it is a very good product ?

[@MisterPrince01]

So it's good for thick hair? I wanna make my curls look more slick.

[@TheBradjohnson5]

Awesome vid again robin I'm loving this series, curious to know what product you used to get the look you have in the narrative part it looks great!

[@ManForHimself]

Brad Johnson Hey Brad, thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying it. All info for my hair and clothing goes in the description. Hope that helps?

[@NickSibz]

Great video, question though. I'm going for the Jax Teller SOA slicked back look but I have very fine hair like you. What pomade do you recommend that will add volume but also not make my hair look so fine and see through like you mentioned? Any input here would be super appreciated.

[@cora7313]

Hey Robin!! Man, your hair looks great in this video( not when your trying out the products but when you are talking about them) you should definetely do a video of it👌👌

[@bluefire6]

Hi Robin, what hair product have you used for the commentary, thanks

[@ManForHimself]

bluefire6 Hi there, all info on it is in the description. Give it a click!

[@bluefire6]

Robin James, thanks for that, never noticed the description before.

[@digitalgrime9298]

Robin, any suggestions for someone who likes the shine of these pomades but not necessary the hold or texture your hair gets after? Is there something lighter that also has shine?

[@ManForHimself]

Digital Grime Maybe a different brand pomade? Or a hair cream.

[@TalhaKhan-hf7xi]

HEY robin! can u plz tell me that face scrub should be used before using the face wash product or after ? or without using facewash product?

[@hemanraj]

Hi Robin, can you do a review on Patricks M3 Hair Wax? It seems very promising but hard to be purchased in Asia.

[@ManForHimself]

Hemanraj Never heard of it, but will look out for it.

[@josueaguilar4262]

By villain silver fox vs. Hairbond shaper. Both very strong hold with moderate shine. Please it would be a good one.

[@josueaguilar4262]

[@MULTIPLEWUBWUBWUBS]

Hi Robin, maybe do a budget brand battle? I'm not really familiar with the field but it's a subject that I think would be very helpful to cover, especially for those just getting into styling. Maybe a Gatsby product versus Got2B? As always, please and thank you!

[@ManForHimself]

MULTIPLEWUBWUBWUBS Hey! Totally. Did you see my budget one with Lynx/Axe?

[@MULTIPLEWUBWUBWUBS]

I did! But with no offense to Axe, I'd rather not put their product in my hair on a regular basis (they have a reputation). I was thinking moreso of a "budget yet still hair reputable battle" if you get my point. Basically two products that although cheap, are made by companies that primarily focus on hair product!

[@Unknownmotox]

Robin James I have heard that pomade damages and makes your hair fall of. I have also heard that it ruins your hair.mis it true. Thank you

[@billclitton5863]

It really doesnt. Most pomades even condition your hair because it includes alot of natural oils.

[@ManForHimself]

Alamin Ahmed Hey Alamin, I'm with Bill on this one. Shouldn't damage your hair.

[@BaguetteOfDoom]

Don't use gel based pomades. The Alcohol really dries your hair out. I've recently retried using a gel after using other products for years and my hair felt so bad the next day

[@billclitton5863]

BaguetteOfDoom most gel types dont actually include alchol only really cheap ones do.

[@suave7050]

Both are good.. but it all depends on your hair.. whether your hair agrees with one or not. I like Suavecito because the smell, the hold, and styling, just everything in general. I have thick hair so maybe that's why. Pricing is not that bad either. I get mine only for $8 for the regular hold.

[@punchface3000]

Hey Robin, have you ever tried iD extreme titanium or Hard gold? been using those for 6-7 years now, really like them. It would be awesome if you matched one of them to a similar product! thank you

[@Mk1_Jambo]

Spent most of my evening watching all of your videos mate. I've been using Layrite water based pomade for the past 2 years, however I'm looking to change brands. My hair started a bit wavey, but since using the product my hair has become dry and extremely curly. Without product, my hair almost has ringlets! I'm looking for a long lasting, high shine and wet look pomade which will stay in place all day as I work in an active job. I tried other types of pomade, but they were extreme hard to wash out. Which pomade is your favourite overall? I couldn't seem to find a video on your favourite, only comparisons. Thanks!

[@danielhartwig3150]

great review, as usual, Robin. Always appreciate your honesty. I'm glad that you actually talk about the ingredients of the hair products that could harm your hair. My hair is very fine, like yours. I did try some of the gel pomades in the past but I switched to all natural clays now (maybe try out the black clay from nature's zero). Since we have similar hair and hair style, can I asked you a few questions? - I'm using Kevin Murphy's Anti.Gravity as a base to get some volume and as a heat protecting before blow drying. Is there a better "all natural" volumizer you can recommend? - Even though, I love the clay I use - I still use a strong hold WB pomade for the sides. Is there a "all natural" strong hold hair product that you know of ? I would like to avoid ingredients like Mineral oil or Borax - Finally, I would like to avoid to blow dry my hair every day. I think the heat make my hair thinner. Can you recommend an "all natural" volume hair spray? Thanks so much!!!

[@kevszkar01]
