D:fi D:Struct Pliable Molding Crème

Advantages: styles hair well, less sticky than wax
Disadvantages: bit pricey, smells weird

...My hairdresser first got me started on Fiber (note the American spelling) after a bit of persuasion - I mean, the 100 gram tub costs a tenner! But to shut him up I decided to give it a try. For quite a while I was happy using Tigi Bed Head, a blue, gooey, semi fibrous creme that did a pretty good job. But when I started using the American Crew Fiber I was impressed. It is called a 'Pliable Molding Creme' and is a thick, fibrous, semi solid creme. It isn't too eager to rub into the hair but once it does, you can style away with ease. My hair gets big and 80's when it gets longer but the Fiber manages to calm it down. Unlike wax which is also a good styling product, the creme does wash off your hands - a big plus point if (like me) you are running late and need to hurry. The Bed Head was a popular choice because it styled pretty... Read review

Advantages: Quality product, nice smell, nice texture
Disadvantages: Perhaps too expensive?

...a month or so, but this of course depends on how long your hair is and how much you would use of course! It is described as a 'Pliable Molding Creme' and is a thick, fibrous, semi solid creme. Like any wax it is fairly sticky in texture but is easy enough to spread over your hair and very easy to control once applied. (I prefer to apply to dry hair rather than wet as it creates a more natural look!) It doesnt feel to great in your hair like all wax as it feels kind of dirty, but its not as bad as some waxes, so thats a good thing. For natural or deliberately styled looks this works brilliantly and holds for a long time, easily for the night, the only time it hasnt held with perfection is in REALLY HOT clubs, but generally i want to leave any club that is budget enough not to be well cooled enough to prevent my hair from literally melting...

Advantages: It works and it comes off your fingers easily
Disadvantages: Expensive

...American Crew's 'Fiber' is, according to the lid, a 'pliable moulding creme'. Most blokes will find its effects and texture fairly reminiscent of hairwax. Like wax it is best for fairly short hairstyles - it won't hold up spikes, but it does do a very good job of keeping carefully tousled short hair in order. More Jamie Theakston than Freddie Ljungberg, then. A big plus of the product though, is that it actually comes of your fingers after use really easily under hot running water, avoiding that horrible sticky-hands feeling that wax users all know too well. I am not sure how widely available 'Fiber' is - I buy it at my hairdressers - but its not especially cheap at 10 quid for a 100g tub. Worth it for clean fingers and mean hair.... Read review
