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

Ive been using American Crew styling gel for years. But it can be a bit expensive. I recently started trying this pomade and I like it. With gel in the bottle, I feel like Im paying a lot more for just water. And these seem to be a lot less expensive for what equates to the same amount, because theyre so much more concentrated. Although I havent done the math enough to get a good comparison.

I don’t know about you, but I have thick coarse hair that loves to get all wavy and curly if I use anything other than a High Hold High Shine pomade. I’ve tried every combination and HH-HS is the only things that keeps my hair straight and in place the course of the day. And even gives it stylistic volume a day or two after. American Crew loves to overprice their products. Why? I don’t know. I’m not a fan of the soft scent they use for their hair products, particularly the pomades, but I guess they think images of 1950s icons equates to a higher price. The one thing I will say about their take on the High Hold High Shine is that it feels very good. I tried Barlow’s version of the HH-HS and it was very gluey and gooey. I’m a particular fan of Cremo’s HH-HS Hair Polish but the smell is just wayyyyy too much of a synthetic citrus bomb. American Crew mellows it out with a more “polish” vibe. I would never buy just one of these because it’s way too much money but in a 3-pack or multipack, it’s definitely worth it for those of you with thick unruly hair looking to slick it back and to do what you want it to it.

Just recently I started getting into pomade and I noticed this listed at the very top for a little less than $11. I decided to give it a try and after more than a week of using It, I decided to give my final thoughts on it, both on what I like and dislike about it. Likes: The smell and quality of the pomade are nice and can be worked through the hair easily and easily comes out with water. In addition to that, it gives a nice slick shine to your hair when applied. Dislikes: The amount of pomade in the container is very disappointing when compared to other brands. For example, for just $1.80 more you can get more than double the amount from Suavecito. So just to almost match the quantity that Suavecito has you would have to spend an ADDITIONAL $11 just to match. In addition to that if you have long hair you need to use a larger quantity of it which will make you buy more which is an even BIGGER WASTE OF MONEY. Conclusion: Would I buy this product again? No. Why would I spend more money on a product that will bleed me dry when I could instead purchase from another company that can give me the same quality with a higher quantity amount? NOW, I bet this pomade would be much more effective for people with shorter hair styles but still, this will be a product I will never purchase again.

Holds hair in place, isnt greasy or sticky. Can comb thru it no problem & washes out easily.

I really like this pomade it had a strong hold that last the whole day. Amazon price is very cheap compare with stores.

OK, let me start by describing myself: 30 years old male, havnt cut my hair since i buzzed it clean 4 months ago. Not even a trim. I have fluffy, but not frizzy hair if i dont put anything in it. So after 4 months I decided that my hair was finally long enough to start combing. I had been just letting it go, and had not combed or styled it since I shaved my head. I took a shower, got dressed, and started to do my hair. I added a dime sized amount of american crew pomade to my finger tips and ran them through my slightly damp hair. I then quickly styled my hair using my fingers, just a classic clean cut/preppy look. I was expecting to have to put tons of goo in there to keep my hair from popping up, but just a tiny bit worked all day long. My hair kept its form even in the wind. My pets liked the smell of it too. I will be buying a bigger size container of this when i run out. Best hair product I have ever used. Pros: Holds hair without making it hard. Very little product needed. Smells good. Cons: Gross texture until its in your hair.

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.

Just came back from Europe and forgot my American Crew line of hair care products at home in the US. I was in Amsterdam for 3 weeks, and I must have purchased at least 10 different pomade/hair products from their local stores. NOTHING comes close to the quality of American Crew! NOTHING. I even thought about having my friend go to my apartment, and pick this stuff up, and send it to me in Europe through the mail! I couldnt find any store in Amsterdam that carried this stuff. And my whole trip, I looked like a riffraff; homely and unsightly hair lacking shine, body, and texture. Something that ALL of these products have managed to contribute to my hair styling. I will NEVER leave home again without this stuff. ALL of their products; from the hair gels, to pomades, fibers, and grooming creams work magic on my hair! Even at the end of a long work day, I can run my fingers through my hair and my hairstyle still looks great (sometimes even better) by the end of the day. I have dark, thick, loose-curly hair. I am half latino and European mix, and I do not have that bone-straight Anglo hair that is much easier and low-maintenance than mine. Those who have that super straight hair may be able to get away with using generic hair products from the grocery store, but my thick curly hair cannot look good with any other stuff. NO other hair products Ive tried in my 30+ years existing on this planet comes close to American Crew. Thank you American Crew for making me feel like super model!

A little goes a long way!
