American Crew Fiber High Hold with Low Shine, Gifts For Men, For Thickening & Texture (85g) Matte Finish, Hair Styling Wax for Men

Product Information

However, after washing it out and experimenting with different quantities, I found that less-is-more with this product. Although it does stick pretty quickly and dries pretty hard, you should still be able to run your fingers through it once it’s dried for restyling purposes. You can expect some shine with this semi-matte product; similar to that of Forming Cream but not quite as much.

Its ingredient list includes rose hips, coconut, chamomile and green tea, which add a light, pleasant scent that won’t overpower your cologne. This pomade is so thick, it’s like rolling a ball of wax, and no amount of pre-warming in our tester’s hands loosened it to a smooth consistency. Just make sure to keep in mind that it is pliable, so if you run your fingers through your hair, it will come out of place. Applying it to wet hair would be inappropriate considering it’s a water-based product and will wash out. Although this product markets itself as medium shine, you should expect a little bit less than what you’d get with Forming Cream.This product is made with ginseng and coconut oil (you can’t smell the coconut, for those of you who aren’t crazy about coconut scent) to give great health and moisturize to your hair. If you have thick hair, American Crew – Fiber will give your hair body and control with a salon finish. Our tester noticed, however, that it dried a little too quickly as he combed his hair, and he needed to moisten his comb with water a few times so it wouldn’t get stuck. This cut allows him to style his hair for an upswept formal look or a finger-combed casual look, which both need different hair products to achieve.

Fiber is better than Forming Cream for messier, more tousled looks and does produce less of a shine. While brands are a matter of personal preference and many other great competing brands have arisen in recent years, the good thing about American Crew is that it has stood the test of time.As you scoop out the Forming Cream, you’ll notice that it has a buttery, creamy, and light consistency. With over 3 million visits and counting, Ready Sleek is a no-nonsense resource for men looking to simplify style and grooming. It can be worked into dry or damp hair, depending on your hair type and whatever style you’re aiming for. If you’re suffering from hair loss naturally, using American Crew Fiber might not be the best product for you long-term, but you shouldn’t worry about using it generally. Fiber’s stronghold keeps the hair together which could cause you to rip some hair out if you’re not careful.

Creams work on almost any hair length, but because they don’t have a strong hold, they’re not ideal for a spiked-up hairstyle. Defining Paste will produce more of a matte finish than Forming Cream and will also give you a slightly better hold. Works great for shorter hair, 1-3 inches in length and you can use this product on both, damp and dry hair.

Men with long hair may struggle with Forming Cream; the weight of the hair would benefit from a product with a stronger hold. This brand has worked hard over the last few years to bring you premium hair care and male grooming treatments that will make you feel like you're back in the barber's chair. Unlike Forming Cream and Fiber, Pomade is more like an actual cream; no working through hands to loosen firmness. With Lanolin and Carnauba (Brazil/palm) wax, conditioning sucrose, and mineral oil, this American Crew Forming Cream has quality not just in the look it gives you, but what they put in it as well.

It provides a high hold and low shine, which gives you a solid and pliable option to style and keep it in the position you require.And We can only deliver this product to certain postcode areas due to restrictions on this brand (see below). Blended with essential natural oils that help soften beard hair and nourish skin, the American Crew Ultra Gliding Shave Oil is a must-have for men. Despite being capable of all hair types, Pomade is best for people with curly hair whereas Forming Cream is more versatile. American Crew hair products have risen above many others due to their quality and variety for men’s different hair types. It’s pleasant when the cream is applied, but hours later, our tester found it cloying and couldn’t wait to wash it out.
