Product Information

The only real distinguishing feature would be the price; Old Spice is pretty hard to beat. 4. Layrite Cement Clay

Old Spice Fiber Wax has a similar waxy-yet-fibrous consistency to American Crew Fiber and produces a similar medium hold and low shine. They’re both water-based products and easily wash out.

American Crew - Fiber: Best for Thick Hair

This is the point where you could add a pre-styling product like a mousse, gel, cream, or a simple sea salt spray. Baxter Of California Clay Pomade will produce more of a matte finish and a stronger hold than American Crew Fiber.

It’s important to note that applying heat with a blow-dryer will definitely help you build more volume and fullness. It also opens the hair cuticles and makes it easier to mold to your desire.Men with thinner hair would be better off using Fiber, as Baxter is likely to be too heavy and will weigh the hair down.

This is unlikely to be a problem, as it will almost certainly last longer than a year. With regular use, you’re very likely to use it up before this point in any case. That doesn’t apply to AC Molding Clay; it makes a point to produce a pretty significant amount of shine. It’s quite difficult to say what a “fiber” really is, as many different products labeled as “fibers” actually look and act quite different to one another. As always, starting with a clean slate is best. It’s just easier to work Fiber through hair that isn’t greasy or oily. Layrite is famous for its line of pomades created by barber Donnie Hawley (who promotes his products with instructional, if unintentionally amusing, YouTube videos). Layrite – Natural Matte Cream is similar to the Challenger Matte Cream Pomade; it has a creamy consistency that’s easy to apply with fingertips.Montreal, You do come across as being very bitter and doubtful of HTs, and that's a common and understandable attitude. Let me be straight up with you; HTs are not a perfect solution to hairloss. They are, as you noted, quite expensive, and they will not give you the same density you once had. That being said, they can (if done by a top doctor combined with good donor characteristics) give you a full-looking head of hair. And if products can help style it properly, and make it look denser, why not use them? As noted, even people who are not thinning use these products. Here are three other products within the range that could be said to have similar effects to Fiber but aren’t exactly the same.

The hold on Layrite Cement Clay is also weaker than that you’d expect from a clay. It’s surprising because when you’re initially breaking it down it does feel quite stiff with a fair amount of resistance. Much like how it felt when rubbed between the palms, you’ll still feel more grip and pull than you’d expect with a cream or a wax. There’s a good chance that one of them may be more suitable for your particular hair type; this should make it easier to decide. It does also give you less shine than AC Fiber, although it isn’t completely matte. You will still get a small amount of shine but it’s very subtle indeed.

Layrite - Natural Matte Cream

At the end of the day, you’d expect a fiber product to add texture, fullness, and (usually) a pliable hold. But Forming Cream is even smoother – this won’t come as a surprise. Styling creams are supposed to feel smooth. What we like so much about American Crew – Fiber is the holding power: Hair can be restyled any time throughout the day without reapplication.

Pomade can be applied to wet or towel-dried hair and usually has a high shine and strong hold. Generally, pomade is used on hair styles that are combed. Think Mad Men. A better option would be to go for a product like American Crew Forming Cream which does actually have the best of both worlds in many ways.
