Wax Fiber - Men's Wax Fiber Hair Styler for All-Day Hold - Adds Volume & Controls Hair - Natural Finish with Heat Protectant - Great For All Hair Types - 2.5 oz (71 ml)

Okay, so I purchased this hair styling product about 4 months ago, and i'm in love with it, I use it as a pre-styler, with American Crew's Fiber as my post-styler. This product is not only a great styler, it also has heat protection, which is why you can use it as a pre-styler. Another cool feature about this product is that when you emulsify it in your hands, you will eventually start to see fibers flying off, which is a very helpful feature of the product as when you apply it to your hair, it gives your hair a perfect hold. It is also paraben-free, which means this product will not damage your hair as it is made with natural ingredients. However, I wouldn't say £20 is worth it for this product, despite the fact it is simply amazing. Examples of alternatives you could use are American Crew's Fiber, which at the time of me writing the review, is around £8, and it is also a very good product, that being said, Original acts as more than just a styling product, and it has features in it that you won't find in any other products, but I don't believe £20 should be its price, if it was around £15-£16 (which is the most common price for high quality products like Hanz De Fuko) i'd say it is 100% worth it, but being the most expensive hair styling product i've purchased, I wouldn't say it should be that expensive. Overall though, if you are after a very strong hold with a matte finish (gives your hair a natural look), a heat protectant (heat protection is 100% necessary if you blow dry your hair with heat as it will stop you damaging your hair) and a reworkable hold from your hair products, and dont mind the £20 price, then this product is definitely the product for you. It does a fantastic job of doing what it was created for, and it is a very unique product.

I can't rate this product highly enough. It is the best hair product I have ever used. I have quite fine hair, but lots of it and this stuff works incredibly well as a pre-styler; keeps my hair in place and gives it definition and then I use some more after styling if required. It's lightweight so doesn't weight my hair down and smells good too.

Really good prestyler, that provides some really good texture and hold. I use with Cavalier clay by BluMaan as poststyler and it works a treat. Only issue is that it I fairly hard to warm up in your hand, but I solved that problem by heating it in my hand with my blowdryer before rubbing my hands together. after I bought this I found that there is a "original smooth" by BluMaan, which essentially is the same, just more creamy. It has a very fresh minty smell to it.

Good hair control

Helps control my hair very well, it would be a mess without it. Not so sure about the high hold though 😂😂 also me personally I found it harder to apply than other products I've used. A nice subtle scent aswell.

My boyfriend uses this product I noticed straight away how amazing it is! Easy application, smells decent and holds well even through storms! Top pre styler he got loads of compliments on his hair after use. Good ingredients too and isn't tested on animals.

I have been using the Monarch paste for a while and loved it... I had read the reviews on the Maraki and there were so many positive ones that it thought I would try it. In my honest opinion it's not a great product. Using as a pre styler seemed to make my hair cloggy and flat. It's so rough in your hair that you end up with pulled out strands on your hands. I added more as a finishing product and this made a bad situation worse. For my hair (which is fine) it offers no support or structure. Too little and although it starts with a greasy effect it disappears to nothing after a few hours. If you use any more than that you end up with a mess that you can't fix. I'm actually shocked at how unusable this product is (for me). I feel like this product has been massively over hyped and If you're used to decent products and you have fine hair then you're in for disappointment. However I couldn't fault the delivery and speed in which I received the product it just wasn't right for me. I would however recommend Blumaan Ascend volume cream and Monarch paste. This is such a great combination. I'm just gutted that I've thrown 20 pounds down the toilet. You live and learn I guess.

Used to be a very solid option for both pre and post styling. No idea what has been done or why it was changed, but it’s worse in all ways now. Such a shame.
