How am I going to look like I just rolled out of bed now?

My favourite hair product has been discontinued - is there a similar replacement?
I'm in the UK. I've been using L'Oreal tecni.art a-head clay very happily for a number of years. Unlike most men's hair products it's more like a soft pliable paste/glue than a cream: it's tacky rather than 'wet', and doesn't turn all sticky and horrible when applied.
But now it's been discontinued and the entire internet's run out of stock, and there doesn't seem to be anything similar available from L'Oreal or anyone else.
Has anyone from the hivemind been using this (it seemed fairly popular from how quickly it sold out online), and have you found a decent replacement?

Best answer: Sounds like Bumble & Bumble SumoTech might fit the bill.

Sounds very similar to Bed Head Manipulator.

Want to recommend Dirt by Jonathan Antin, too. It s what I use and I think it is similar to what you describe.

KMS Hair Play Molding Paste is quite popular among men at the salon where I work. It sounds like what you're describing, the tube of it will last you 6 months at least, and it's much cheaper than SumoTech.

Response by poster: I went on an epic hairdresser crawl at the weekend to try these out (Dirt doesn't seem to be available in the UK), and SumoTech won the day. Thanks all!
