Review (5/5): The hold is just better, and it feels more robust in my hair
I have very thick, wavy/curly hair that I keep medium-length. I part my hair on one side, comb over, with a bit of pomp in front - a very standard haircut. I waffled between Shiner and LayRite for about a year, but finally settled on Shiner Gold. The hold is just better, and it feels more robust in my hair, while washing out just as easily as LayRite. With LayRite, I feel like my hair would still curl a bit, as if I were using a gel. With Shiner, it holds. Exactly how I want. I will say, my next tin of product is the Shiner Psycho Hold, and I will be interested to see how it stacks up against this product, which I genuinely love and couldn't recommend enough.
