You've described it very well that there are far too many options in the market. What works for others, may not work that well for us. But to share my thoughts too, you may like to consider the below products as possible options.

1. Indians Molding Clay (Dry-clay): Comes w matte finish, strong hold and lightweight

2. Indians Dry Shaper (Soft-clay): Comes w matte finish, medium hold and lightweight

For thick hair, both options are possible for you. The advantage of having thick hair is that you will be able to hold styles well, but assumption is that you did not let it succumb to the high weight of the hair first. To combat against the weight of your hair, the best bet is to complement it with a pre-styler (there's no magic here either). Based on your style, I would think option #2 is something that is more suited for you.

Option #1 goes well with any pre-styler (i.e. seasalt spray, hair powder etc).
Option #2 goes best with hair mousse (particularly Screen Wakin hair mousse, as part of my trial for finding best combination).

Below picture is just for better illustration, where I used dry shaper.

Indians Dry Shaper was amazing, why has it been discontinued? I haven't found a substitute yet after months for searching. Please bring it back bro!

What hair shampoo do you all use / recommend? I don’t mind splurging a bit if it’s a good. Was previously using Morris Motley shampoo but I guess MM isn’t very good now?

Strongest hold is still Rough Rider from Kevin Rider.

Found a tub from ten years ago, and it still works prefect.
Humidity also don't kill it much.

The problem with this product is it is incredibly difficult to wash off

Any alternative to Morris Motley? I tried Blumaan cavalier and Hans de fuko claymation, both is slightly oily for me and difficult to wash off. Still prefer MM matte feel but too pricey liao.

Anyone using Blumaan styling meraki? For those using, how do you all usually use it?
