5.0 out of 5 stars Great styling product

M.G. · August 20, 2014

After years of trying in vain to make various gels and mousse products work (getting a good hold for a slight pompadour or slick look, without flaking,) I finally tried pomade after watching a few videos and how to use it properly. I will never buy anything other than Pomade now that I've tried American Crew Pomade. I have thick hair and like to style it in a slight pompadour. I get really good hold from my Crew Pomade that lasts me all day while I am at work and even when I work out my hair stays in place unless it's really, really hot out or I mess my hair up. Pomades used to put off a horrible smell or be kind of thick and gross but Crew has a really good product here that my girlfriend tells me smells nice, doesn't flake and leaves a clean look even the next morning. I can even just come by hair the next morning and it will still look good, if I want to run off to breakfast or work without a shower. I've tried a few "higher end" pomade products friends have given me that work in a salon, and I got a similar hold, but would have had to pay twice the price. I use pomade in my hair 6-7 days a week and it seems like one pack will last me about a month.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product! Worth the price?

I would like to preface the review by saying that I have extremely curly hair, and even when its short it shows signs of the madness that will come when it will be long. Pomade is the only product that can style my hair, and I have to do it when its short. This product is wonderful. Its very efficient. I barely have to use any to keep my hair in check, so it will last a while. The hold lasts pretty much all day, and washes out very easily, since its not petroleum based. Another advantage is that it smells great! My girlfriend loves the smell of it, and she is very picky when it comes to good scents. The only "gripe" I have, if I can even call it that, is the price. If it lasts as long as I think it will, I don't think I will have an issue with it, but there are other highly rated pomades on Bolo that are much cheaper. However, this product has the advantage of great hair treatment, especially smell, so I am sticking with my 5 stars!

This was my hair-product of choice for a number of years. However, I had once purchased one of these pucks from a department store, and had been dissapointed in the quality (I think it was old...). Based on that experience, I was a little nervous about purchasing it online.But I was wrong to worry! The two pucks showed up quickly, and they were every bit as good as I remembered.Put a dab of this on your finger, spread it through your hands, and then massage it through your hair. It will style easily, but it won't crisp like gel. Instead, your hair holds it's shape, but still feels soft. Mine starts to wear out towards the end of the day (on my part, where I usually have a hard time getting hair to stay in place) and it can start to look a little 'dusty' if you use too much.If you use the right amount, and you aren't running around in the wind, it's perfect. I love it, and I'll continue to buy it on Bolo. What a great price!

I have been using this pomade for years now and I am thoroughly a fan of the hold, shine, and workability of it. Too thick, just add a dab of water to make it manageable and get the perfect look. I will warn that the leather in a Tesla will get damaged on the headrest by using this product. Chemically it interacts with the synthetic leather and will cause the headrest to develop wrinkles. Much better than the other pomades I have tried, so we simply got headrest covers after we found out what can happen. Still recommend as one of the best pomades available.

BACKGROUNDI recently left the service of the US Army and have been granted the ability to finally grow out hair. I tried hair gels but realized that I dislike the stiffness the products provide as well as the fact they tend to causing flaking and, if my hair is messed up, the gel is a one shot deal where now my hair has lost its shape.The hair stylist recommended I test out and try some of the products from American Crew. I tested both American Crew Pomade Medium Hold & High Shine as well as the American Crew Forming Cream with Medium Hold & Medium Shine.PACKAGINGI ordered a 2 pack. The small tubs that resemble acne pad containers came wrapped together on a single piece of cardboard. I worried because I live in the state of Texas and was afraid the hair products would melt in the heat but it was not an issue.USEAGEThe first thing to note is that very little hair product is needed. It is best to use only the size of a dime on your fingertips. Rub your fingertips together then gently run into your hair starting in the back moving forward. Only do a few passthroughs. Do not rub into the roots of your hair. Also, make sure your hair is towel dried so that is no longer dripping but slightly damp but not too much to where your hair is now bone dry.The American Crew products have a scent. It is not overbearing and is complimented on by the women in my life.PROS:++ Continuous manageable control throughout the day++ Does not clump up++ Does not flake++ Does not create the crusty shell of gels++ Not as difficult to remove from hair in shower as other hair products and waxes on the marketCONS:++ Expensive product++ Can make hair feel a little thick or dirtyCONCLUSIONThese products carry a high price but are well worth the money. A first impression is everything, one that is very hard to correct later on with someone. Make sure your first impression is the best you can do with the American Crew Hair Products.

Simply Amazing!

Bought this product after reading about it on a website and thought: "How good could it really be?" Man, was I surprised! This is quite simply the best hairstyling product I've EVER used - and I've tried loads of different ones through the years. It's easy to apply (I just rub it through my damp hair), holds my hair where I want it, non-sticky, non-greasy, doesn't make your hair stuff (hair actually feels quite soft still), doesn't make your scalp feel tight or dry, washes out easily, and makes my hair shine like a well-groomed stallion! What more could you want in a hairstyling product?

Super

Très bon rapport qualité/prix

Slick - but not oily

I have naturally thick hair, but cut fashionably very short at the sides and a little longer on top. Applying a marble size splodge of this pomade to newly washed hair leaves it looking shiny and styled, without feeling like it's greasy or sculptured. This is undoubtedly the best product I have found for my type and style of hair. It also washes out very easily (you can just use water if you want). I'm not someone who would normally spend much on styling products, but this is certainly worth the money.

Things you don't think about...

I received the product in the mail... Not like picking up at the store, ya know?The contents in the jar was not all pretty like you'd get from the store.Upon opening, the pomade was all over the place and had separated, like it had been heated and shaken.No big deal... just stirred the snot out of it and it was good to go.Not sure if I would order via Bolo again for fear of similar experience.

Great stuff for long thick hair!

This stuff is great and well worth paying extra for! I have thick dry hair which I have been trying to grow out for a while now. I have used various types of gels and styling products but they all left me hair feeling greasy and stuck together. This stuff is easy to apply and once it's in it does not feel like there is any product in your hair atall but it still provides hold and shine. Amazing product!
