wax

low to very high hold, does not make hair hard, some easily wash off some almost impossible for

pomade

similar to wax but thicker in viscousity i think

fiber

usually called fiberwax or fibergel, help to increase hold factor of product when added, not same fiber you grandad takes to ease his bowel movement

glu/paste

both same thing, milky texture, very high hold factor, i think it should washes off easily

all of these are made for short to mid long hair.

longer hair benefits using cream or mousse
