Shop what your barber used. American Crew Defining Paste is Fiber's easier-going sibling. It has the same matte, textured look with medium hold, but it spreads like a dream and works on longer hair too. It's beeswax-based for natural, pliable hold, so you get piecey definition and messy-on-purpose texture that you can rework all day.
Why Our Barbers Love It
-
Medium hold, low shine: a natural matte finish.
-
Beeswax: natural, pliable hold.
-
Lanolin and glycerin: moisture and a thicker, fuller look.
-
Tea tree oil plus nettle, green tea, elderflower and echinacea extracts: fresh, conditioning extras.
-
Easy to distribute: works on short hair and hair longer than 5 cm.
Best For
Textured and messy styles, piecey definition, short to medium-length hair, and anyone who finds Fiber too stiff.
How to Use
- Warm a fingertip-sized amount between your palms.
- Work evenly through dry or towel-dried hair.
- Twist or pinch sections for definition.
Pro Barber Tip
Rough-dry your hair first, then apply paste to dry hair for maximum texture and the most matte finish.
Scent
Fresh and clean, with a hint of tea tree.
