American Crew Fibre - losing hair each time I use it?

This stuff seems to be highly recommended by everyone but been using now about two weeks and everytime I do my hand is covered in hairs. This stuff is my first hair product as I used to just have my hair short. It is so hard and sticky. I have done as my hairdresser/barber said and to rub it all over my hands until it completely dissapears and to rub on to dry hair. But it is crazily tough. Don't know what to do. I called him up a few days ago and he said I should try the forming cream or defining paste. All I do with my hair is blow dry it to the side and then put the Fibre on my hands an work all over my hair then brush my hair to the sides. I have a receding hairline as it is, don't want to be losing anymore hair. I need to use Product as my hair is looking ridiculous without it. It looks silly with it too, but better than without.

Anyone else had this problem? I thought it maybe because I had the Fibre for like 10 months. I bought it last august, used it once then only started using again about 2 weeks ago. I took in to my hairdresser when I got my haircut and he said it was fine. Why is this stuff so raved about if it so hard/tough/sticky?

Really greasy hair products might not be the best idea if you are already suffering from hair loss. Try something less thick, like Gatsby. It's mainly designed with straight, asian hair in mind but depending on what kind of hair you have/what you are going for it might work. It's very light, but provides holding power you would not believe considering it's about the consistency of warm butter. The only downside is that it's a ***** to get out and you might have to end up shampooing every day if you don't want to struggle with pulling even more of your hair out.
