Product Information

Using a fingertip amount on a daily basis, you could expect a 3oz jar of American Crew Fiber to last around 5-6 weeks. When listing potential alternatives, it’s important to stick to products that attempt to achieve similar effects. That being said, they can (if done by a top doctor combined with good donor characteristics) give you a full-looking head of hair. Beauty by Earth – Sea Salt and Texturizing Spray is a product that’s primarily marketed toward women who want to simulate “beach hair” without breaking out the curling iron.

Spray: We’re not referring to hairspray, but to products that are marketed equally to men and women: sea-salt sprays. Men with thick hair may struggle to keep their hair in place as the hold most likely won’t be strong enough. Described as honey, caramel, “dark woods” and “powdery musk,” we think it smells like a room full of pipe smokers, and it would definitely clash with your cologne. Fiber needs to be warmed between your hands before applying and is most effective on dry, short or medium-length hair. As always, do a patch test before applying it to your hair to ensure you won’t have a reaction to the product.

I use american crew fibre have done for years it's really good if you rub it for a few seconds in your hands till it goes off it makes the hold stronger like glue which keeps my curls straight or i can put it straight on and go with the curl.

It does leave your hair a bit stiff, as a light-hold hairspray would do, and although it can be washed out without shampoo, it takes a lot of rinsing to wash it all out. For example, if you eventually want the hair swept backward, work the Fiber forward and down the top of your hair first. Other fibers are stiff and waxy, but Smooth Viking has a creamy consistency and can be applied with your fingertips without warming it in your palms first. I mentioned earlier that it’s useful to think of fiber products as lying somewhere in between a cream and a clay. Although AC fiber has some of these properties, it will still feel more buttery, light, and smooth, despite its fibrous base.Like most pomades, Suavecito is better for thick hair since it tends to weigh down thin hair, which gets plastered in streaks on the scalp. American Crew Fiber is a versatile product that works well on men with straight, curly, or wavy hair. Most airlines will allow American Crew Fiber to be brought onto a plane as its largest container (3 oz) is still within the usual fluid restrictions of 100ml/3. It’s an interesting product because it doesn’t play by the rules you’d usually expect a clay product to play by.

But if you’re a guy who couldn’t be bothered with grooming your hair into a coif, you should check out this sea salt spray. The American Crew paste can be applied to dry or towel-dried hair, but we found that we had more control when we used it to style dry hair. Old Spice Fiber Wax has a similar waxy-yet-fibrous consistency to American Crew Fiber and produces a similar medium hold and low shine. Ultimately, anything in excess could do damage, so use the smallest amount of product to achieve your desired look. American Crew Fiber has a light lemon scent, and even though its ingredients are similar to other hair products, it also contains cetearyl alcohol, a fatty alcohol derived from coconut and palm oil that’s often found in skin emollients and hair conditioners.The salt in these light sprays absorbs oils and adds texture and body, giving medium-length or long hair a tousled, surfer look. American Crew Fiber feels like a butter as it’s rubbed between the palms, but the fibrous, resinous consistency is still prominent. In many ways, it feels as smooth as you’d expect a wax to be, but a little tougher and with a little more grip.
