I've used the D:fi Destruct styling cream and I didn't care for it - the product description said it had a matte finish and strong hold, well I reckoned it had neither! It smelt weirdly sweet and sickly too. To be honest I've been constantly disappointed with most styling agents: they're usually either too sticky, too heavy or too greasy. When my hair is shorter I do love the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree shaping cream, though; this stuff creates an excellent 'messed up' look with a truly matte finish, and it has a nice masculine scent you won't be embarrassed by.
