TIGI Bed Head for Men Matte Separation Workable Wax, 3 Ounce

I was looking for a replacement for American Crew: Classic Fiber. I had used the AC Fiber for a few years now and it does exactly what I want it to: good hold, matte finish, almost a "beach hair" feel. I'm asian so my hair normally shoots straight like a porcupine. Fiber gave me the ability to add volume to my hair and make it look less... combed and straight (generally less asian).Anyway, I like that product a lot and still do. But I think that TIGI Bed Head Separation Wax works better for what I use it for.I WAS AFRAID THAT "WAX" AUTOMATICALLY MEANT SLICK. I was wrong-- this stuff works JUST LIKE fiber and I would argue better.I use it everyday, about a fingernail's worth (or two, depending on how my hair is acting). I use it throughout my hair to just give it some more volume and hold. I don't straight up spike the whole thing-- I work it through and leave it kind of messy/up.PROS (all of these are in relation to AC Fiber):- Very Tacky. It's not like putting glue in my hair, but it has substantial stickiness to it that I like because I know that it's actually working. When compared to bottom-of-the-line AXE fiber, which goes on smoothly (and rubs out just as quickly), TIGI immediately works in the hair to give it volume and hold.- Long hold. Others have said that this doesn't hold for very long, which I would disagree with. it seems to hold much longer than AC Fiber. Throughout the day, whenever I go to the bathroom, I can run my hands through my hair and readjust things as if I just put the product in my hair. With AC Fiber, my ability to manipulate my hair throughout the day would diminish at around the end of work. With TIGI, the hold keeps through dinner/going out after work. I really appreciate this, so I don't have to apply more. This will obviously vary depending on how much oil your head produces throughout the day.- WASHES EASILY off hands! AC Fiber was horrible to wash off. This stuff, though it feels super sticky at first, actually comes off without having to wipe most of it off with a drying towel. Minor detail, but one less annoyance in the morning goes a long way.- Pop lid AND screw lid. This seems like a silly perk, but it's actually appreciated. TIGI made this with a pop top that also can screw off. Why is this a big deal? Because once I take out a dollop, muck up my hands, I don't necessarily want to get the crap all over the sides of the container. With the pop top I can just close it with the back of my hand. Again, not a huge deal, but definitely appreciated.- Scent. It is subtle and pleasant. Maybe it's because I used it everyday, but AC Fiber had a plastic smell to it that I didn't love. And maybe because this stuff is new to my routine... but I like the way it smells. I like that it's not overwhelming, but that it's not odorless either.CONS:Honestly, none yet that I've found. As I suspected, it works best in dry hair... at least to achieve the look I'm going for. Even a little moisture in your hair makes it more difficult for the wax to fully adhere... but it DOES adhere better even with wet hair than AC Fiber.All in all, great product. Premium performance at an affordable price. I use this probably 6 days out of the week, and if it's anything like the AC Fiber which I used the same amount of, then it will last me about 3-4 months easily. That's not bad, considering what women spend on their hair :)

I have a pixie cut with really thick hair. This product is great for adding texture and hold, even when my hair is a bit longer and really heavy. I also like the matte finish. I switch products every couple of years because I think I found something better, but keep coming back to this. It consistently works well, even in high humidity. Maybe one day I'll learn and just stick with this.

I started using this after a buddy of mine recommended it for me. Up until very recently, I’ve always worn my hair in a buzz, so I’ve had very little need for hair products. I grew my hair out and discovered that I really need to put something in my hair in the morning, otherwise I’ll look like a muppet by lunch. So I ordered the TIGI wax and started using it, and whoa—it made such a huge difference in the way my hair looks. It’s easy to use, and not too greasy, and it held for a few hours before it started to waver. The only problem with it is that one day, when it was particularly hot, I started sweating profusely, and the wax started melting down my face. The next day, I woke up with pimples all over, and it was awful. Luckily for me, my girlfriend gave me some of her TreeActiv Anti Acne & Rosacea Treatment Sulfur Mask Plus Rhassoul, Bentonite Clay Mask with Witch Hazel & Aloe Vera - Refreshing Lemon Scent (1 Jar) (8 Oz) which was really helpful in getting rid of the acne on my face. Basically, I’ve had to learn to use much less of the wax when it’s really hot, as it breaks me out, but aside from that it works famously. In regards to the mask, I just use it as a face scrub and I get rid of all my acne and blackheads that way. Also, the brand has a TreeActiv+ Tea Tree Oil Acne Solution for Advanced Acne Treatment - All Natural Acne Spot Treatment - Blemishes Gone or Your Money Back! (60ml) that really works well for getting rid of razor bumps, but I’ll leave that for another review, another time. I recommend the wax, it’s great for keeping your hair in place for long periods of time. I started using this after a buddy of mine recommended it for me.
