Mens Hair Pomade by American Crew, Medium Hold with High Shine, 3 Oz (Pack of 2)

Look out for other American crew products on here. Some of it is fake. But this one is real and great products!

I am a male in my early 30s have very thick hair which can be hard to manage. I have been using this product since my early 20s and its really the only hair product that I like. I bought a cheaper pomade once from Walmart; it worked but I didnt like it as good as the Crew Pomade. Crew Pomade smells good, it doesnt make my hair feel grimy. It holds my hair in place very well, without making it stiff. There have been times I went to sleep without washing it out, and when I woke up my hair was messed up. So I just sprinkle some water on my hair and I am able to recomb it. It works best for me after I shower and my hair is damp, but not soaking wet. I usually towel dry my hair, then apply and style. Great product! The price has really gone up in the stores over the last several years, so I turned to Amazon and I can get it shipped to my home for about $5 less than buying it from Walmart! And by the way, I noticed some of the other reviews reported that they changed their product. I have been using this product for years and havent noticed any change. So Im not sure what they are referring to.

This is my favorite hard hold pomade. I’ve tried Old Spice, the Equate version, and others- but this is the best. Good hold, lasts all day, can handle a good amount of sweat, and has a pleasing scent. It’s not cheap, but it’s worth the extra couple of dollars over it’s competitors imo

Ive used four different American Crew wax/pomades, and they are all great. They smell great, and they are relatively inexpensive. The hard part is figuring out...what product is good for what hair? Ive gone from very short guy hair, to longer guy hair...and as Ive done that, the American Crew product that I prefer has changed. With my hair really short, I was using their classic wax, which they no longer make. I started trying their Fiber product on that short hair, and it worked pretty well. Get my hair fairly damp, work the Fiber in, and it would give me good hold...little spike in the front. Another product I was using with my short hair was TIGI Bed Head Men Matte Separation Wax. That stuff is REALLY sticky...which is fine for short hair. Before I move onto the Pomade, the other thing to consider is...varying the dampness of your hair prior to the product will have a HUGE effect on how it works. For example, you can have your hair fairly damp with the stickier (ie high hold) products, and still be able to work it in really well. As your hair gets drier though, two things happen. The hold becomes even MORE pronounced, but it also becomes harder to work into the hair. So as I grew my hair out...the Fiber began to work less well. I had a lot more hair, and because its a higher hold, it actually started to weigh my hair down. Spiking up hair thats only an inch or two long worked fine...but as my hair got to 3+ inches, it would start to fall over. And the Fiber is fairly sticky...so your hair needs to be fairly damp to work it in, but then it doesnt want to stay up. Now I will FINALLY talk about the Pomade! I had to move to a lower hold product...and I wasnt used to this at first. I was leaving my hair fairly damp, and putting the pomade into that didnt give it much hold at all (though depending the style you want...like a more traditional mad men kind of look without a lot of spike, then that would be fine). I wanted a little more spike and verticalness to my hair, so what I had to do was start drying it more. Ive started using a blow dryer to train my hair in the direction I want, and to get it much drier (not 100% dry, but maybe 75%). Now the pomade has much more hold! The other product Ive been using is the Forming Cream. Its similar to the pomade...but a little less shiny. It has worked well in my longer hair, and like I said before...to get any hold, I need my hair drier. You will probably have to try a couple different products until you find the one you really like. But before you give up on any one product, vary the dampness of your hair first. Hopefully my experience will point you in the right direction. For short hair, use the high hold products with damp hair. For longer hair, use the low hold products with drier hair.

Great product easy to spread and its very effectice

It is a great pomade and the only pomade my husband uses.

It’s hard to find a good pomade. Once you find a good one, they’ll often change the formula to make it cheaper. American Crew is expensive, but consistent. It smells good, but not overpowering. The heavy hold works well. It leaves residue behind even after washing your hair, but that’s kind of expected for heavy hold. And it doesn’t dry out my hair.

I love using this product for a slicked back look. It has hold but one can reshape / style it or get it to super hold slicked back with a dab of light gel applied last.

This is a good hair product for keeping fine hair in place, and style maintained!

It works as it should, but why does it smell like the cat litter box?
