Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought both this product and the Smooth Viking Forming Cream for Men, 2 oz. My hair is somewhat longer. I have shaved sides of my head with 6 inches of hair on top which I want to hold back over the top of my head. I find both products do the job in different ways. This product, the Fiber Cream, produces a harder hold compared to the Forming Cream. Over the day my hair will stay in place more rigidly, with only a few "chunks" (or strands or locks, I'm not sure what to call it) falling out of place. The Fiber Cream tends to form these chunks which mostly stay in place. The forming cream makes hair smoother, but holds less. It will still keep a style and still allow my hair to move around. With the Forming Cream, you can run your hand through your hair. With the Fiber Cream, running your hand through your hair starts to displace the hair. This is a good thing for me though, as I can leave my hair alone with the Fiber Cream in. I have mixed the two which produces a mix between the smooth hold of the Forming Cream and some extra rigidity. I find that it's hard to add more Fiber cream to your hair after it's set. It's more like the style is held and any working through ends up breaking apart the hold. Even getting my hair a little damp, you can still feel the harder strands/locks until you really work at it to get it to dissolve. Unlike many hair products, neither of these products ever breaks apart into dusty powder or an oily mess. This product maintains its matte finish even if you move your hair around a lot. The Forming Cream reduces more to a soft, yet not oily hair (like how your hair is if you run your hands through it a lot and you have that normal level of natural oil in it). All-in-all, I recommend both of these products. Hopefully my review helps you choose which one to buy.
