There is a very particular look people are chasing: hair that appears to have simply landed that way. The Layrite Natural Matte Cream does all the work and then takes absolutely none of the credit.
TL;DR: A lightweight, water-based styling cream with flexible medium hold and a clean matte finish. Adds texture and shape without weight, shine or crunch, and reworks with dry hands whenever you like. The 42g jar is the compact size — perfect for the desk drawer, the gym bag or a weekend away.
Product Details and Benefits
- Flexible, medium hold. Enough control to keep a style in place all day, with enough give that your hair still moves like hair.
- Clean matte finish. No shine, no wet look — just a natural, healthy-looking finish rather than a dry, flat or dusty one.
- Lightweight, water-based formula. Adds shape and definition without dragging fine hair down or leaving a greasy, waxy film.
- Kaolin clay. Builds thickness, texture and structure, which is why this one is a favourite for hair that needs a bit more body.
- Naturally derived waxes. Sourced from Brazilian palm tree leaves and coal, they lock in moisture, tame frizz and hold the shape.
- Reworkable without water. Run your fingers through at 3pm and the style resets. No sink, no spray bottle, no fuss.
- Best for fine to medium-thick hair. Also excellent on wavy and naturally curly textures that want frizz-free definition rather than glossy control.
- Signature mild cream soda scent. Subtle, fresh, and it won't compete with your cologne.
- Water-soluble. Washes out easily rather than clinging on for a second and third shampoo.
- 42g jar. The travel-friendly size — ideal for trialling the finish before you commit to a full-size tub.
How to Use
- Scoop out a small amount and rub it between your palms until it warms and loosens.
- Choose your finish. Damp hair gives a softer, more relaxed result; dry hair gives firmer control and more definition. The Layrite rule applies here too — the drier the hair, the higher the hold.
- Work it evenly through, roots to ends.
- Pick your tool. Fingers for a casual, lived-in, tousled look. A comb for something neater and more deliberate.
- Reset whenever you like by running dry hands back through. No water required.
Pro tip: Split the application across two stages. Work the bulk of the product through while your hair is still damp for a soft, natural base, then once it has dried, take a barely-there amount on dry fingertips and pinch out individual pieces. You get relaxed movement and sharp definition in the same style, which is very hard to achieve in a single pass.
Why You'll Love It
