About Layrite

Layrite was founded in 1999 by the talented and charismatic, Donnie Hawley. Having his technique hindered by petroleum-based products, Donnie labored to find a solution.

The end result was a water soluble pomade formulated to 'Hold like wax and wash out like gel.' After one of Donnie's patrons commented that his pomade was the only product that made his hair lay right, a brand was born.

An American Original since 1999

For Barbers By Barbers

We are the barber's choice. A line of men's grooming products created for those in the know. Because Layrite was created by a barber, not a scientist.

Donnie Hawley has spent his entire career developing some of the best Men's Grooming Products available in the market today.

Smooth Viking About Us:

Ah, the dreaded 'About Us' section... that neglected corner of every website that most people don’t read, right? Hmm. So hypothetically speaking, we could say something completely ridiculous here, and no one would have a clue – like how our founder is a real 10th century Viking that was cryogenically frozen until 2014 to start Smooth Viking.

That would be pretty cool, but it would probably be better if we kept it real. So, here’s the real story. The one thing we didn’t exaggerate about is that Smooth Viking started in 2014. Back then, we didn’t think that the beard care products on the market were really cutting it. We thought beards deserved more than a bunch of useless ingredients that don’t work, so we created Smooth Viking to give our fellow bearded brothers a better alternative. But, we didn't just stop there. We eventually expanded our horizons to cover hair care territory, too.

PRODUCTS FOR THE MODERN-DAY VIKING

It’s no longer socially acceptable to wear Viking helmets anymore (which is downright absurd to us), but we still want to bring back that Viking spirit with our collection of premium beard and hair care products for the modern man. That’s where you come in.

You’re practically a living legend that’s cementing your place in human history as we speak. Thus, you want products that’ll help you look the part, minus the wimpy ingredients.

If that sounds like you, good. You came to the right place. Our collection of premium beard and hair care products will give you exactly what you need to turn your look into the stuff of legend.

OUR PRODUCTS ARE MADE WITH PREMIUM INGREDIENTS

Yeah, we know. You've probably heard it a million times....except we actually mean it. We are not in the business of setting up hair to fail, so we've formulated all of our products with high-quality stuff that gets the job done.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this real or fake like the blumaan products they sell on amazon
Answer:	I’m not sure if this product is fake, but product I received wasn’t labeled as 2 fl. oz. it said 1.8, so because of that I think it’s either not a real one or it must be an old one. So I returned my product.
Question:	How many do you get for $49.99? they're only $19 on the hanz de fuko website
Answer:	I bought one from Hanz de Fuko website along w/ 2 samples for $5. Amazon is great but these middle men take too much margin sometimes!
Question:	What's the best holding pomade/wax/other hair product? I've narrowed it down to a couple, including this, but am still torn
Answer:	I have really thick hair. To paint a picture, I have A LOT of individual thick hair whereas many people with thick hair have a lot of individual thin hair. Hopefully that makes sense. Before, I needed super-hold gel and hair spray to tame my hair. Hanz de Fuko is amazing. It tames my hair while giving that matte, controlled look. My hair fell forward with other pomades and waxes. Even the super hold ones. I highly, highly recommend this.
Question:	Was this really 3.5 ounces when it showed up
Answer:	It’s 2 ounces, the real product off the official site is 3.5. This is counterfeit. There are no approved sellers on Amazon.

The wax has been formulated to provide medium hold and shine. - Pharmapacks, an authorized seller of Johnny's Chop Shop
