American Crew Defining Paste with Medium Hold & Low Shine, Gifts For Men, For Thickening & Texture (85g) Matte Finish, Hair Styling Wax for Men

Product Information

American Crew Forming Cream has a weaker hold and more shine than Fiber. As you’d expect, it’s creamy consistency makes it even easier to distribute through the hair than Fiber. Here’s a simple, step-by-step routine for using and styling with this product. It’s pretty easy. 1. Wash The Hair At this point, work the Fiber in the direction you want it to eventually end up. If you want a more textured finish – use your fingers. Having said that, not American Crew’s Molding Clay, as for some reason that does come with a medium shine; very unusual for a clay.

You’ll notice that Fiber is labeled as “high hold” while Defining paste is marketed as “medium hold”. 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.

You can expect a medium-to-high hold from American Crew Fiber, stronger than that of its counterparts Forming Cream and Pomade.

As always, do a patch test before applying it to your hair to ensure you won’t have a reaction to the product. Does American Crew Fiber Expire? It isn’t your typical clay. In fact, it doesn’t actually contain any bentonite, kaolin, or other typical clay ingredients.The convenience this brings shouldn’t be underestimated, as many men hate the feel of product build-up in their hair and value an easy washout. 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.
