Product Information

Contrary to popular belief, it is not a clay. Its consistency is somewhere between that of a cream and a clay. Not as firm or dry as a clay, but not as smooth as a cream.

American Crew Fiber feels like a butter as it’s rubbed between the palms, but the fibrous, resinous consistency is still prominent.Using your fingers is absolutely fine for this part; leave the comb/brush for the next step if you wish to use one. If you hadn’t used a blow-dryer and initially applied the Fiber to damp hair, you’ll want to wait until it’s air-dried before really judging the outcome. In other words, products within a similar price range that produce (or claim to produce) similar effects. Our member prices ARE way lower than the regular price. That’s because we buy a large range of quality products directly from major suppliers - and pass the savings on to our members. Mixing Fiber and Pomade wouldn’t be worth doing, as the resulting mixture isn’t easy to distribute through the hair.

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. It isn’t offensive but if you want something that won’t be as obvious, Fiber would be a better option. It’s less likely to interfere with colognes and fragrances. If you haven’t got one, again, it isn’t essential. But much like using a pre-styler it definitely does make a difference and works well when styling with Fiber. 6. Dry And Assess It isn’t objectively bad for your hair but as with any fibrous product, the tug could cause a few hairs to get pulled out if styled too aggressively. Here are six features of this product that should give you as clear of a picture as possible. 1. The LookIf you’re used to using waxes, applying American Crew Fiber will feel quite familiar. It’ll spread almost as easy but with just a little more grip and resistance. 5. Work It In Your Desired Direction Unlike Fiber, Baxter Of California Clay Pomade is paraben-free. If this is important to you, do bear this in mind. Frequently Asked Questions
