D:Fi styling guide: compare hold, finish and texture

Shape your look with D:Fi creams and clay. Choose D:Struct for medium control, D:Sculpt for stronger low-shine styling, Matte Clay for a matte finish, or Extreme Hold for strong hold with visible shine. Compare the four formulas below, then open the product page for sizes and current availability.

Formula Hold and finish Choose it for
D:Struct Medium hold and low shine for flexible definition. Choose this when you want definition with less hold than the three strong-hold options. It is the low-shine cream in the medium-hold slot, rather than a matte clay.
D:Sculpt Strong hold with low shine for more controlled shapes. Choose this when you want stronger control while keeping the finish understated. Compare it with D:Struct by hold, and with Extreme Hold by shine.
Matte Clay Strong hold and a matte finish for textured definition. Choose this when the finish matters most: matte rather than low or high shine. Work a small amount evenly through your hands before applying so it distributes through the style.
Extreme Hold Strong hold with high shine for polished, defined styling. Choose this when a visibly shiny finish is part of the look. If you prefer a less reflective result, compare D:Sculpt or Matte Clay instead.

How to choose

Decide on shine first

Matte Clay gives the matte option; D:Struct and D:Sculpt are low shine; Extreme Hold is high shine.

Then choose control

D:Struct is the medium-hold choice. D:Sculpt, Matte Clay and Extreme Hold are described as strong hold; the names alone do not establish a strength ranking between them.

Build in small amounts

Spread a small amount between your palms, distribute evenly and add only where more control is needed. Follow the directions on the exact product.

Questions before you choose

Is D:Struct a matte clay?

No. D:Struct is a medium-hold, low-shine molding cream. Matte Clay is the distinct strong-hold matte option.

Which one is strongest?

Three formulas are listed as strong hold. Choose D:Sculpt, Matte Clay or Extreme Hold by finish rather than assuming the name proves a higher hold rating.

Do I need all four?

No. Start with the formula that matches the hold and finish you want. They are alternative styling choices, not a four-step routine.

Can I select a size?
