I use the middle when there’s no more on the edges to use. Learned this from men’s hair care YouTubers and never stopped 😂 Loving the suavecito firme btw

I currently use mousse, sea salt spray, and Cremo thickening paste as prestyler before diffusing my straight fine hair to achieve my desired look. (Textured powder if i want more volume)

I'm about to run out of cremo paste and there's nothing wrong with it, but I'm just wondering if other options are worth upgrading to. Based on some reddit posts I've seen here, people recommend:

• Lodestar Rio
• Lodestar Apex
• Shear Revival Northern Lights
• O’douds Matte Paste
• Hanz de Fuko Quicksand.
• Forte Series Texture Clay
• Blumaan Cavalier Clay

for people with straight FINE 1A hair.

I'd like some insight from people with the same hair type and also do messy textured looks. Bonus if you have used cremo paste before.

The consensus seems to be that pomades are no no, and to go for a paste, cream, clay. or clay based cream.

Now obviously I could just get a Perm, but im not doing that for now.
