Effortless hold for natural styling. This lightweight, water-based cream adds texture and definition while delivering a flexible, medium hold that lasts all day. Hair stays soft and touchable — never stiff, greasy, or waxy. The clean matte finish creates a healthy, natural look that works for casual, everyday styles. Reworkable without water and infused with Layrite’s signature mild cream soda scent.

Best For:

  • Fine to medium-thick hair

  • Natural, relaxed, or casual looks

  • Wavy or curly textures needing frizz-free definition

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Lightweight formula won’t weigh hair down

  • Matte finish keeps styles looking natural, not shiny or flat

  • Provides all-day control with soft, flexible movement

  • Adds shape, texture, and definition for easy styling

  • Reworkable hold — run your hands through anytime to reset your look

Key Ingredients:

  • Kaolin Clay – Boosts thickness, texture, and structure for a natural finish

  • Natural Waxes – Derived from Brazilian Palm Tree leaves and coal to lock in moisture, add shine, and tame frizz

Pro Barber Tips:

  • Apply to wet hair for a softer, laid-back look

  • Apply to dry hair for stronger control and definition
