Blackstone Men's Grooming Thickening Fiber Paste Gel for Hair Styling - Adds Volume with Pliable Hold & Matte Finish | Paraben Free, Sandalwood (4 oz)

Excellent product and highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality hair thickener with a decent hold but definitely not overpowering. I genuinely enjoy the sandalwood effect and appreciate the aromatic fragrance.

Gives good volume to the hair and shapes it nice 👍

this gives my hair some volume and also a matte look, love it

I have thin (and unfortunately, thinning) hair, so I like to use a matte fibre product to give my hair some more volume without making it too stiff. It's a nice trick for those of us with short and thinning hair to make it look like you have a bit more hair than you still do. Until now, I've always used Bed Head or American Crew, but I've found those two products will get very hard, almost silly putty-like, and difficult to use and apply, before I've finished with them. I was attracted to the cream texture of the Blackstone Paste and it didn't disappoint. It is soft and creamy and easy to apply. Also, it smells great. And it does thicken and provide some hold. However, it is a very light hold, so you have to work a little to figure out the right amount to use in order to actually get a thickening effect without weighing the hair down. If light hold is what your after, this would be perfect for you. If this stuff doesn't harden like other fibre pastes I've purchased, I'll update the review after a few months to say whether it does. It will be nice not to have to throw away half the container as I have had to do with other brands. But, given the lightness of the hold here, I may still be on a search for the perfect thickening fibre paste.

I've tried a few different styling products. I wanted something that held my hair well but didn't look wet or sticky or 90's. This leaves a very dry natural look, while holding hair in place, and isn't too expensive. You only really need a little bit, and it's easy to fix later with a comb and a little water if you need to clean up later in the day.

Decent Hold, hold doesn’t last all day, especially if you have thicker or more stubborn hair. After a few hours, my style started to lose shape and needed some touch-ups. It also feels slightly sticky if you use a bit too much.

Exactly what I wanted in a hair paste. Good hold and leaves my hair with a nice texture once it dries. Only thing I’m not in love with is the smell. It’s not bad by any means but it’s not favorite smell either.

This product once had a clay type texture, more like a pomade. Now, the packaging is the same but they changed from a clay texture to more of a gel/buttery consistency? The scent is different as well, the old formula had a nice sandalwood smell, the new formula is not my favorite. Not sure what is going on here? I'm not saying the seller is dishonest, maybe it changed before without them knowing. The original one below is on the left and has a more yellowish color.

Perfect hold, easy to wash, doesn’t grease up your hair, it looks great.
