This has got to be one of my favorite products EVER. I wear my hair in a fohawk (mostly spiked) and this product does EVERYTHING I want it to! That includes increasing texture quite a bit, requires minimal styling to get the desired look, and EXTREME hold that requires no hairspray! This is the only product I can use BY ITSELF and be happy with the results. Due to its extreme hold and texture, I would definitely say this product is best suited for short hair (mens hair for example) with extreme styles such as spiking or the messy look.

As another reviewer said, this product is very thick. It takes some getting used to and there are a few tricks which I will explain. I prefer the product on dry hair, as the style takes immediately rather than waiting for the hair to dry. (Try it with damp and dry hair, and see what works best for you) It is stretchy, similar to chewing gum, which makes it great for reworking throughout the day/night. Start with a small amount, literally about the size of a dime. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING: work this product between your hands by rubbing them together before putting it in your hair. After 20-30 seconds, the friction and heat of rubbing will make the product less stringy and more workable. This also prevents small clumps of the product from getting caught in your hair. Once the product has smoothed out, apply to your hair as desired. Remember, you don't need a lot -- and you can always add more later. And personally, the less I "tweak" my hair after adding the product, the better the result. This is literally something you can throw in your hair, and your hair will instantly go and stay whichever way you put it.

Overall, this is a great product when you want extreme hold and texture. It claims to add a lot of shine, but I would say it is more on the matte side (although not as matte as d:fi's pliable molding cream). It smells great and is hardly sticky at all after setting. Keep in mind this is a heavy duty product meant for extreme styles, so if you have long hair or don't spike or do anything crazy, this may not be right for you. Otherwise, try it out and enjoy it! Definitely highly recommended.

This stuff is AMAZING. It smells good (like melon), holds well, goes in even, and stays all day. I have fairly thin, short hair and it thickens very nicely and makes my hair actually manageable. A small dime size amount rubbed around after drying my hair makes it unbelievably easy to style. I can't say enough good things about it. I've tried so many other molding creams, waxes, gels and nothing comes close to this.

This is for people who want a dry and flawlessly spiked 'do. It very closely resembles partially dried glue and takes an extremely small amount to do my whole head. I've tried a ton of different creams and gels and this is my favorite by far. For thick, heavy hair, this is the way to go for the spiked matte look.

I am 21 years old, for over 10 years I have been using gel. I lost all faith in gel simply because it did not have the holding power compared to this styling creme. The Dfi: extreme hold is so powerful to the point of making your hair into a fauxhawk very possible. Can anyone tell me any brand of gel with the same ability. Absolutely none, right? No gel can accomplish the task.

I probably will never wear a fauxhawk hairstyle, but I know this is one hella of a product. If my boring flat hair need texture, you got it! If it needs stiff hold, you got it! If it needs styling, you got it! You must know though, that because it's powerful, you have to work really fast molding you hair into any hairstyle or else the hair will just be sticky (stubborn). Another good cream in my advice would be Dfi: destruct. It's the container with the blue color.

Dfi: destruct isn't necessarily as powerful as this one. But you can rework your hair anytime in the day. It is also water soluble, so if you want it all gone, then just use water. In my final motto "Dfi hair wax gives you sexiness while gel gives you fatness!"

This product reminds me quite a bit of Grooming Cream. It's got a heck of a hold that won't wash out easily unless you shampoo, it's got a great shine, and it's pretty greasy feeling. Considering that in most stores, Grooming Cream runs 15-17 dollars US and this D:Fi product runs around 10-12 US, I'd say it's a great alternative if you're looking to cut back your budget a bit. You'll get the same look with this product but with a little bit more of a sticky feeling. Be careful not to use too much or you'll look particularly greasy. Overall a very good product.

First I tought it was to sticky and then to strong but after the second and third time I put it. It looked and felt great. Really like this stuff and buying some more!

This is a great product for a certain hair styles. If you comb your hair with a brush, forget it, it's too sticky. This is designed for people who want a messy or semi-messy look (messy but look fixed) where you only use your hands and fingers. In that case, it has superb hold. It does remain somewhat sticky and stays that way the whole day. It gives a semi-glossy look that looks a little wet. It actually works best when your hair is completely dry or a bit wet. It smells like pina colada. Great stuff, but not for everyone.

I love this product. It's a Tad on the sticky side, which is a pain, but the product as a whole is fantastic. If you have thinner hair, this is right up there with Gatsby waxes, and those are the best of the best

This is the greatest hair product ever, hands down.

Here is how I use it:

Right after you get out of the shower, when your hair is nice and wet, take a small amount of this stuff and work it through your hair. (a little goes a long way). Then blow dry and style. And if you need to, a little hair spray to freeze anything in place

I swear, you can do anything with this stuff

This stuff is so thick and sticky; I thought some of my hair was coming out as I tried to apply it. Would not recommend.
