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

I read about this stuff online before I bought it...I have very thick and straight hair. I wanted a change from my usual go-to hair products. I wanted that Mad Men look for my hair - Before now, I had that Beach Bum intentionally messy look I had since college. You know the one...where I try to make it look like my hair actually looks good when in reality I look like I am trying to be a 20-something. Being that I am about to turn 40 - I looked silly with such hair. Yes, indeed. I needed a more refined look. I really loved the sleek and sophisticated hairstyles of characters like Don Draper in Mad Med (TV Show). This stuff is apparently what they use on set for the actor(s). I cant verify that, but I can say American Crew Pomade IS FREAKING AMAZING. I love this stuff...I finally look like a grown up (even if I am not inside) I would recommend this to any man that wants a more suave look, more refined and professional - Now when I enter a room, my hair talks for me - it says Dont mess with this guy - just look at his beautiful hair. It is glorious. Some might even say Majestic. Honestly, I dont know if such conversations take place, but I know this stuff is amazing if you have straight, thick unruly hair. I cant speak for other hair types, but Id assume it would be just as amazing for you. So, the big question...do I look like Don Draper now? No - only Don Draper looks like Don Draper - but I think I might be able to pull off being his stunt double!

Im not sure what to say about the other reviewers who have claimed to get a substandard product (yellow, smelly). This is my first time using this product. Mine seems to be clear (its a dark container) and smells like a hair product. I have very curly hair, and to go without product would result in an undesirable poof of fluff. Likewise, I have no desire to slick my hair into highly gelled wet-looking but hard-as-a-rock curls. This product puts me nicely in the middle, and leaves my hair controlled throughout the day while retaining a nice finish (slight luster, but not wet) and without a feeling of residue. The product feels very thick when you scoop it out and rub it on your hands, but when run through damp hair, thins out nicely. I only use my fingers (rather than a comb) because I like to keep the curls and avoid the potential for frizz / fluff. If you are like me, with curly hair and havent found a happy solution to control the curls while avoiding using multiple products, this is definitely worth a try.

Thank you for samples of different hair pomade. Product is great .

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.

My husband said he likes this pomade mainly for the fact that it doesn’t leave any white product in his hair and he only has to use a minimal amount of product to style his hair.

Our family likes to have a little shine in their hair. This product does this.

If you hate “hard hair” and would rather prefer your hair a bit greasy, then use this. Also, if you don’t use a lot, it’s hardly even greasy. Just know that all pomade which gives a bit of a “wet look” it’s wet either because it’s unnaturally hard or it’s oil based. This is oil based and it’s the only pomade to which I have gone back.

Great salon/barber quality hair balm. Highly recommend both product and seller

I’m not sure if people are using this the wrong way or what... but it’s perfect. The only thing wrong is the price is a little high for my taste. But it last months. I have thick hair (medium length) that curls after 2+ inches and never have a problem. Use on damp hair after a shower and it will have the hold for any hair. For shine - you might want your hair a little more on the wet side, but even damp/almost dry hair it provides a nice shine that isn’t overwhelming. I won’t be using anything other than this
