American Crew Fiber High Hold with Low Shine, Gifts for Men, for Thickening and Texture, Matte Finish, Hair Styling Wax for Men - 85 g

I'll keep this short. I have very thick and unruly hair. It's a cross between Joey Essex Hair and Russell Brands....But kinda dry and wirey. The type of hair that you can't grow long as it just looks like a birds nest and you can't style it! lol.Get the picture.Ok, good.Firstly, my hair is about 6-7 inches long now, and I wear it high, swept to the side and slightly back.I wash my hair and condition, then use a pea sized amount of this stuff AFTER blowdrying and my hair actually STAYS were I style it! Your hair MUST be dry first, not towel dried, DRY! Then AFTER you have styled it, you can wet your hands and run your wet fingers through to fine tune. But seriously, a little goes a long way. I usually have to use a really strong gel, like GUMMY or similar...and LOTS OF IT to hold my hair. The problem was my hair just goes mad crispy and I look like a 13 year old schoolboy tryna look awesome at the school dance. My friends called me LEGO HAIR for too long. But this stuff really works. My hair is now "Flowy" but stays in place and girls can run their fingers through it now without taking the first 4 layers of skin off their hands. Buy it, you will be happy. Also, worth a mention, It has a really nice, delicate, Lemony kinda fresh smell. Very mild but very "Clean smelling", I can't quite describe it, But it's pukka. Hope this helps.

Excellent without being too greasy.

Great for keeping and nice hold on your hair for the whole day. Definitely would recommend

Not having used fiber before, I was a bit unsure how how effective this would be for my hair.I can say that I have be pleasantly surprised with the hold and texture that this product has.It isn't too overbearing and extreme with it's hold, but allows for some flexibility with styling whilst keeping hair feeling somewhat soft.To add to this, it has a very pleasant fragrance that doesn't feel like you are putting something too unnatural on your head.Will more than likely purchase this again.

Good product but very expensive

The hold is excellent and a nice matt look whilst bringing out a bit of a rough/messy texture, without going too curly. Thickens the hair slightly too. Only takes a little bit of working into the palms before applying and goes in nice and easy.The only downside is the smell, not sure if mine is defective or something because others have described the smell as nice and "subtle", but mine has a strong chemically lemon scent that I find very overbearing, even when using a small amount. It also lingers for a long time and I can smell it throughout the day and makes me self conscious that others can smell it too. Very unpleasant smell. I don't think anybody needs such a strong fragrance for a hair product. It's a shame as I also have the defining paste which has a lovely subtle woody scent.While the styling effect of the product is great I don't think I'll buy again due to the obnoxious scent

I've tried around 20 different styling products but always come back to this. The smell is pleasant, the consistency is good and you don't need to use much. Washes out easily, too. Yes it's not cheap, but for the price it lasts a long time.

I would highly recommend this product, I have used many different types of fiber and putty hair products from the likes of Men-U, Tigi and some less expensive products from Lynx. I have quite long hair (2" - 3") and this works very well.On to the product itself - it is a very firm paste like substance, which requires you to dig your finger into it. It's almost like a hard wax. However once you rub the product between your hands and heat it up, it becomes much softer and easy to apply.The smell of the product is pleasant, it has a lemon fragrance making it smell 'clean'.The hold of the fiber is quite good, I would say it would be more suited to hold short hair in place. Once it is applied to the hair, it has a very matte looking finish, almost like there is nothing in your hair. It is also quite easily washed out.Overall, an excellent product for short to medium length hair.
