This was EXACTLY the video I was looking for. Thanks a mil, man. I've been growing my hair out and have tried several types of pomade, to no avail. None have been able to control my hair. I have very wavy Afro-Caribbean hair. I just ordered some Layrite and Suavecito (both in firm hold formulation) and will try both.

will try this man, thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the tips man !

finally someone brings up curly wavy/hair for pomps! I used to use murrays and royal crown but made my hair even more curly. Suavecito firme worked for me not perfectly made my hair straight but well enough to hold a pomp. I live in las vegas, basically the desert so I know what that melting gushy shit feels like with a pomp.

This is actually really good to know! I was wondering what was making my curls stand out. I actually really like the curliness, gave me a whole new look. However, I will have to look into buying that other stuff since I do want to be able to pomp it up sometimes.

chachicharms Hey got a question. I have really curly, thick hair that makes any styling beyond basic combing practically impossible. I like to style my hair in a comb over kinda like George Clooney to give it that clean sharp look, but not to the point where it looks like a mold on top of my head. The problem is when my hair dries, it goes completely outta whack especially in the front. Is this what the pomade is for? Which pomade would you prefer? Thanks.

Great video man, I'v been searching for this for a while!

Thanks for the video dude, it really helped me out. I have quite fluffy and curly hair which I hate, and I have been using this cheap wax that comes out way too easily. I'm just about to buy some pomade for the first time, and this helped, thanks again

Hey man awesome!! I've had problems w my curly hair forever...I'm dialed in now..thanks

Thanks for posting. I ordered some crap from Amazon and then saw your video and luckily was able to cancel my order and make a new order on Layrite Original and Layrite Extra Hold... We'll see which of the two is better for my hair.

Great video brotha. I completely agree 100% with you on everything you said. I will say there is a petroleum product I dig a lot and its Dax wave and groom. Stuff works like a charm, and its only like 3-4 bucks tops. It won't make your hair super straight like layrite or suavecito but it will make your hair really really manageable and easier to work with. Another product which I think is better than layrite is shiner gold. Only downside to shiner gold is that's its around $15 for 4oz of it.

thanks man needed this

Just put on a hat, beanie, hair net or anything that is tight or fitted close to the top of your head. (Not the sides) Then just take it off when your hair drys. Simple. DON'T EVER STRAIGHTENED IT THOUGH!

hi bro,,wondering for your opinion.. layrite superhold waterbased or the js sloane water based? tq for the reply

love it love it love it! plus hes hilarious

"somebody might find this shit useful" lol. hell yea we would. thanks for the tips

What pomade should I use if I've got curly hair (very similar to yours except longer) and want to straighten it out? Not necessarily a pompadour and I also realize that it's unfair to expect it to fully straighten. I just tried Nu Nile (petroleum based) and it looked good when I put it in, but it didn't hold well...just loosened after a couple of hours and lost the slickness and started to curl. Thanks for your help.

Thanks a lot man that is exactly why i made it.

btw, I wanted to know which layrite? The original one, or some other version of layrite.

dax wave and groom is amazing, its heavy like Murrays but dosnt pull as bad and dose wash out a lot better, but it still takes at least 2 washes.

As a guy with thick and wavy curly hair, I always get frustrated when i see guys with normal hair get to do nice Mohawk or pompadour while my hair just can't stand straight for 10mins with water-based pomade. But then I realized i dont need to try that hard afterall. As our curly hair always have natural pompadour curling up. just look at James Franco natural wavy hair, he's a lady killer. Yea truth hurts, most of us cant get straight pomp without curly bunch sticking out even with best pomade, while some are lucky and managed to. My tips is don't spend too much money on pomades, find the most recommended one and there you go. Consider ourselves lucky that we don't go bald.

Hey man! Great video! I have wavy hair, not too curly, but I also can't get that pompadour look perfect. I'm trying to style it like Johnny Cash and I've seen pictures if his hair and his hair isn't straight, it's kinda wavy like mine. He used Royal Crown, and I'm using it as well but I can't get that same look. My hair forms a lip in the front due to the natural wavyness. My hair is almost feathery, isn't thick at all, even though I'm 20 years old lol. Anyways, my hair in the front reaches between my eyes and nose, I don't know if it's the length is too short. Please, give me your suggestions! Cheers :)

Good video, cheers!

I have wavy hair. It isn't borderline curly but it's wavy to the point that I get a small pomp naturally. I've tried suavecito(normal strength) and so far it has worked fine. It smells manlyish, goes in smoothly(I don't struggle to put into my hair), and the hold lasts for the entire day. But then again I don't do anything strenuous throughout my day and it's still winter here in Chicago. Lol the tables might turn when the humidity settles in.

i feel you man top it off with hairspray works wonders

Dude your on The Office!!

Thanks man helped a lot

Hepefully you get around to this but I have major curly hair bro and I was wondering if monster rub or 550 extra supper hold was good

Dude thanks for this video. I have crazy curly,thick coarse hair. I just got layrite.. It does work about how much do you use?

So for those of us who have curly hair what's the best/recommended hair style(s)? I like the pomp & executive contour but the front of my hair starts to wave and curl. It's fucken annoying!

have you tried baxter of california pomade? Would you suggest suavecito pomade over FX?

I find blow drying in the direction you want it and then adding a little bit of product works best. If you want shine just add a thin layer of royal crown. I also like using got2be glued but be careful because it flakes if you play with it to much after appling.

What I do to get rid of the curls is I slick my hair back when it's wet, then I put on a tight fitting hair net and let it dry. Makes it way easier to have a nice straight look.

I found this useful

he should be in the new axe pomade commercials.

Your don't give a fuck attitude made this video awesome haha Thanks for the tips, cheers!

coming from someone who has curly hair i just wanna thank u for the info, btw ur humor is fucking hilarious

So I should come my hair to flatten out the curls while its wet and wait until its almost dry to apply add the wax?

Can this work on dominican hair? My hair is curly, thick and dry.

What about sweet Georgia Brown pomade for curly hair?

which type of layrite do you like?

thANKS man ive seen that.. purchased lucky 13 pomade was pretty good. ill get of that.

Ok thx a lot :)

hey dude, so i dont want to slick back my hair, i wanna get a messy straight look with pomade , not necessarily stick straight but a clean tousled look think of james franco hairstyle wich in he keeps a clean relaxed curls , ps : i have a curly hair like yours , so how to do it and what pomade to use ?

thanks dude

i have curly hair, how long do you think layrite will keep my hair in that slick back look.

I agree Dax is awesome

I still sometimes use murry's i have a collection too. someone in the message box mentioned DAX WAX AND GROOM.. I think its better than murry's and washes out better.. Murrys is still really good for special occasions.

chachicharms uppercut deluxe works great on curly , thick hair

Hey man. I want to make my hair curlier and shinier but i want to hold it in place. Like if i add water it makes it look good, but then it goes down after a while. Is pomade the right product for me?

CHACHI!? What layrite product is best for a queff?

This guy's fuckin cool.

Is layrite a product I can use everyday?

Do you mean layrite original or layrite superhold?

dude you talk like kumar from harold and kumar thats fucking awesome as fuck

How about shiner gold?

Forget nu nile... get layrite and get some hairpray to set it...also comb your hair forward after you shower and put on a cap.. wait till it dries comb it back add layrite... Its all in the prep

Yeah man I touch it up with hairspray

if you want to keep your curls try layrite.. It will hold and wont flake. Or you can just start trying different pomades and see which one is really works on your hair.. The trick is experimenting and finding which one is right for you.. Its a long journey but to hell with gel.. Gel is weak and is terrible produces flakes..

Nice Marshall half stack

Dayum, hit me up boo.

I know dude but its better than nothing. thanks for the comment.. "CUBA LIBRE"

It never gets bone straight. Layrite works best but make sure you get the extra hold one. I always end up with waves but they look smooth you know? I dont really mind it- if you want to get it straight your gonna have to straighten it out. No shame in that man it is all about what you want. If you wanna relax it let me know ive done it before and i can offer tips so you dont make a fatal mistake.

Oh dude i forgot the most important part --- YES you can use pomades after you relax but get some layrite and your hair will look amazing.. Cheers man there aint no shame in relaxing your hair dude. As long as your happy then do it; it takes a lot of time off getting ready and makes your hair more manageable. Just try not to fry it and always relax the new growth and take it easy on the already straight hair. Lots of conditioner will help you avoid over-processing..

Thank you, I now no I'm not the only one suffering.

You to much say f**k but its work... thanks man.

REally? no way ill try it but i need something that holds..

water based pomades dont work for me ill put it in my hair and it wont let me do my pomp and i have curly hair so for me murry is the best.

That a 800, 900 or 2000 in the back?

LayRite is ridiculously overpriced but my brother buys it so I'm good

Dax Wave and Groom !

happens dude at least your not going bald

Alright dude straightening your hair is not expensive at all as long as you do it yourself. Buy a children s relaxer if your hair is not real kinky. Tip 1# DO NOT WASH YOUR HAIR FOR DAYS BEFORE YOU RELAX. You want your scalp dirty and your hair greasy. Just trust me on this.. If you know a black girl tell her to give you tips they are masters. 2# when your hair is straight avoid shampoo.. you dont really need it unless you roll around in mudd stick to using straight conditioner.

I call bull shit on this one.. I've used Murray's for awhile and that doesn't happen to me.. And my hair is curly af

goon grease heavy hold

maybe rob but you may have to relax your hair

super expensive!!!
