I've used 2 containers and this stuff is great. I have very thick hair so I needed something strong but didn't want the pine straw hard feel that so many other products left me with. As my title says though, you have to learn to get the wetness of your hair just right before applying this stuff as it CAN get too hard if your hair is too wet. If it's too dry, it won't hold like some guys want their hair. I've gotten to the point where after I shower, I'll towel dry my hair then get dressed and THEN apply the product as letting the hair air dry just a bit more after towel drying seems to let a little more moisture out of the hair and really gets the "just right" matte look. I've tried several other products and this one is hands down the best for the money and is easy to find.

great product for the hair that has a hard time staying put. It gives you control but not the shine. Can sculpt your hair with it. Its white and feels like a paste. Your hand warms it up. Usually takes about a nickle size for regular hair length.

I've used a LOT of different styling 'product' over the years. I have short, relatively thin hair that I like to spike a bit in the front. The problem I've had with most gels is that they do just fine for top of my head, but don't keep the bangs spiked up the way I'd like. I've tried a lot of different things before stumbling on American Crew Fiber. It's, in a word, perfect for my application! It's easy to apply, isn't too sticky, (although it is somewhat sticky which is necessary to make it work), looks great for the entire day, and washes out very easily at night.

A little of this goes a long way, so start with less than you think you'll need and then use more if necessary. I apply this by putting some in my palms, and then rubbing them together, and then applying to my hair. I'll use a bit more on the front if necessary.

American Crew makes a lot of other hair products too, but none of them work nearly as well as this one. I've tried the Pomade, and it's greasy and not very reliable. Fiber, at least for me, is the only option.

Aside from being a tad sticky, this is a perfect hair product. Recommended!

(If you want a less sticky but equally less firm option, check this stuff out: Alterna - Enzymetherapy Hemp Seed Styling Mud 2 oz.. It's pretty good, but just not quite firm enough for my taste).

I have been using this product for about 2 years now. I think it's great. It has a sweet-ish lemony smell but more sophisticated. It gets the hold without the shine which I want.

My hair is usually a fuzz ball when short and flat & lame when long. This product lets me give my hair some more character; I can rustle it up or calm it down whenever during the day. The great thing is that people don't realize I'm using a product until they touch my hair.

Another cool thing about this product is that you can use it in our hair with varying wetnesses. If you're hair is damp when you apply, it's easier to apply but the hold will be a looser one throughout the day. I need a strong hold so i usually put it in when my hair is only very slightly damp. (Applying when your hair is completely dry is a little tough because it sticks to your hair and while you apply, its like you're pulling on your hair and it can hurt)

On suggestion is to make sure its completely integrated into the hair. Especially when you use this product with damp hair, it takes some attention to make sure there aren't little chunks of American Crew Fiber siting in your hair.

I am a big fan of this product. My hair is very strong. It needs a product which can keep it tamed. However, most products that have that level of strength also come with high sheen or gloss which, in my opinion, is a bad look for today's fashions. The matte look is more flexible. American Crew Fiber gives me pliability and a matte look with a very strong hold. It also smells nice.... not to strong and not too girly.

This is a great product for getting the bed head look. I can use approximately a dime size worth in my palms and go wild! Trust me, the results are great. If you apply too much, you're hair will get oily. The good thing is that this product washes out easily with any Shampoo.

I have always been a fan of styling my hair. I see celebrities on TV and in magazines and where ever and think "Wow, how do they get such good looking, naturally styled hair?" Over the years, I have toyed with many products, but have always ended up turned off and disappointed by many things, like the amount of time it took to get my hair in the shape I want (sometimes I wasn't even able to get that and ended up washing it off!), the amount of shine leftover, and the overall texture. Needless to say, I pretty much gave up on trying to have great looking, styled hair. Recently, I was doing some cleaning of bathroom products I don't use anymore and stumbled upon this product. I had never tried it before, let alone I had no idea that I even had it. Out of curiosity, I decided to put a dime size amount into my hair, mainly because, for lack of a better excuse, I was bored and just felt like doing it. Oh my goodness was I pleasantly surprised. It was so easy to get my hair into a style I could bare to look at, and there was absolutely no shine. The texture was unlike anything I had felt with hair styling products before. You could barely tell that there was anything in there at all! I used it a few more times, and the more I used it, the more I fell in love with this product. It works perfectly with my thick hair, and the smell isn't half bad! Basically, if you like styling your hair, and you're at a loss for products to use, I URGE you to at least try Crew Fiber. Take it from me, I am the most meticulous person you will meet when it comes to my hair, and I absolutely love this product. 10 seconds and my hair looks fantastic. As I'm sure yours will too.

I used this product for quite a while and on occasion I still break out a jar to style my hair if I feel like mixing things up a bit. It's great for matte hairstyles and will work on hair whether it's thick or thin. There are only two things that I've found can be issues with this product. First, it's not as hard a hold as the product advertizes. It's supposed to be the highest hold in the low shine line up, but I've found it no harder holding than it's medium hold counterpart, Defining Paste. Secondly, my hair can get dry at times during the winter here in Arizona. When this happens my hair gets more frizzy and the Fiber doesn't do enough to control the frizz so I have to switch products when my hair is feeling particularly dry. This isn't too often, though, and it's only my hair so your mileage can definitely vary.

Overall, it's a great product. I don't use it every day, but I don't use any product every day because I like to mix it up. But most of what I use is American Crew or D:Fi which is made by American Crew anyway, and Fiber is one of my favorites. Give it a try if you want a matte look, it may not be as high holding as it leads you to believe, but it is by far the most matte looking of the products in the lineup.

just started using crew fiber, and i have to say it's pretty awesome. i used to use the gatsby moving rubber but got tired of it so decided to switch to this. sculpting hair is extremely easy, and it holds well. whether it's a typical day at work, or a friday night in the clubs this stuff stays in and keeps your hair looking good. it isn't hard to wash out either, and doesn't have any strong smell.

my hair is medium length, and i think any length from short to medium would be ideal. not sure about longer hair.

highly recommended.

I bike to work every day & suffer from vertical depressed lines where the helmet padding meets my head. Until yesterday. I had had a tub of AC Fiber for a couple years but never had much luck with it, but decided to try it again after my barber recommended it.

The trick (for me) has been to completely dry my hands before getting the product out. When my hands were wet, it tended to stay in globs and not go on evenly. With dry hands, and mostly dry hair, it works great. I can get to work, fluff out the helmet head, and it looks like I didn't bike to work.
