Matte has had a very long run. This is for the other camp — the slick-back, the sharp side part, the finish that catches the light entirely on purpose.
TL;DR: A medium-hold styling cream built for maximum shine. Creates sleek, glossy, straight looks on its own, or goes over a pomade as a top coat to dial the sheen right up. Naturally derived lanolin conditions while it styles, and the whole thing restyles in seconds with nothing but your hands. The 42g jar is the compact size.
Product Details and Benefits
- High shine, medium hold. Intense, near mirror-like gloss with enough control to keep a sleek style sitting exactly where you combed it.
- Doubles as a top coat. Use it alone for polished looks, or layer it over a pomade as a finishing coat when you want more sheen than the pomade alone delivers.
- Lightweight cream texture. It works into hair easily and evenly instead of sitting on top in patches, which is where most shine products fall down.
- Flexible and touchable. All-day hold that never goes hard or brittle. Hair still feels like hair.
- Naturally derived lanolin. The star ingredient here — it delivers the brilliant shine and texture while conditioning and softening as it goes.
- Softens and moisturises. A genuine advantage for naturally dry or curly hair that reads dull and needs both gloss and moisture.
- Never flakes. No white specks, no residue on the shoulders of a dark shirt.
- Restyles in seconds. Hands only. No water, no comb, no bathroom required.
- Best for fine to medium-thick hair, short to medium lengths. Slick-backs, side parts, straight sleek looks and classic polished finishes.
- Signature mild cream soda scent. The familiar Layrite fragrance — clean, light, and never overbearing.
- 42g jar. The travel-friendly size, and a sensible way to try a high-shine finish before committing to a full-size tub.
How to Use
- Take a small amount and work it between your palms until it warms and spreads easily.
- Apply evenly through damp or dry hair. Damp gives a softer, wetter-looking finish; dry gives more control and a crisper line.
- Comb it through for a proper slick-back or side part, or use your fingers for something looser.
- Want more gloss? Style with a pomade first, let it settle, then apply a very small amount of this on top as a finishing layer. It amplifies the shine without undoing the hold underneath.
- Reshape at any point by simply running your hands through.
Pro tip: This is the quiet hero for anyone who wears a helmet, hard hat or cap. Because it reworks with dry hands alone — no water, no comb, no mirror — you can style in the morning, put the lid on, and rebuild the whole look in about five seconds at the other end. Motorcyclists, cyclists and anyone on a worksite tend to become permanent converts once they work this out.
Why You'll Love It
Some looks are meant to be noticed, and shine is how you do it. Add the Layrite Super Shine Hair Cream 42g to your cart and give your slick-back the finish it has been asking for.
