I am not a big fan of the fibre by itself... and only tried this concoction because I had a small sample tub. seems to do the trick, but Just the forming cream and defining paste probably isn't much diff.. the fibre probaly adds a littlemore weight if anything.. I probably won't buy a new tub of the fibre in the future though, and stick with the paste and cream.

Bought the Bumble & Bumble Sumotech came to around $36.00. I have medium length hair.

Pros - Matt Finish, Easy to wash off hands, Medium Hold (I use hairspray, the hold lasts the whole day with the sun and wind) and small amounts required not alot. No smell and running hands through the hair doesn't leave a greasy residue like other waxes and clays.

Cons - Price & Amount.

Having tried Gatsby (Gray, Pink, Purple ) and Xtah Craft Clay I'd say the Sumotech is superior to them Equivalent would be Xtah Crude Clay, but it cost more and is easier to wash of hands after applying.

I use Mugen texture wax..korean stuff..not bad..

I guess I will try out the Bumble and Bumble next time

After going to Holt salon, they also suggested looking into Shu Uemura and Kiehl's hair styling prodcuts

Shu Uemura Cotton Uzu | Folica.com

I have used the hexagonal gatsby clay, sebastian clay and UNO water wax, but I'm now looking for products you would find in a Caucasian drug stores like shoppers drug mart, because I work there and get discounts. anyone heard of the company joico? How do their products hold up? I have thick and rigid Asian hair btw, so I always require a bit of layering and thinning whenever I get my cut.

what's a good holding hairspray? i style my hair with gatsby and it gives it a lot more texture and looks better but then it falls flat in like an hour or two.

no offence to anyone, but i have a feeling this thread is filled with hongers

Not a honger. ;)

the hongers probably are the ones that use the gatsby... if you think hongers are people who don't use dippity doo, however, you are wrong. hair gel from superstore is sooo high school.. wait.. that's probably the same people who get 10 dollar haircuts too

Best combo for short hair, IMO

Gatsby Perfect Hold (black), followed by Gatsby Technical Design Clay for details in spikes (a little goes a LONG way, one jar lasts forever).

Finish with a light mist of any medium-strong hair spray. I use "Fudge Skyscraper" an Australian brand that works well.

I have recently switched out perfect hold with UNO Fiber Neo Ultra Solid Wax, and the texture is different. Not sure if I like it better or not at this time. It's just... different :) It feels a little bit dryer.

:okay:

just bought gatsby moving lock spray extra hard - just tried it and i like it =)

I got pretty thick hair. I'm using FIX hair gel for men, works great.

i work at shoppers so i get discounts on all the hair products there :D and surprisingly they carry some pretty decent european brands like joico...

What do salons like Zeal, Chura, etc use?

I heard the top salons in Asia use Number Three Wax. Anyone know where to get that in Van? I know Rakuten sells it online

for those looking to try out bumble and bumble at sephora
