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

Been using this for years. It doesnt get gummy when reworking, and smells ok. Wish I could find something I like this much that isnt so costly, but this really has no competition from what Ive seen for my fine textured hair. I mix it with Kristin Ess pomade when I need more hold and that works well too, while cutting the cost.

I love the smell

American Crew Heavy Hold is the best pomade that I have found for my somewhat wavy hair. I dry my hair and work a dime size amount of this pomade through my hair with my fingers. It has great hold throughout the day. The hold will weaken with heavy moisture in the air, but a slight moistening of the hair with a small reapplication does the trick. I love the scent of this pomade very much. It is pleasing and masculine, but not overbearing. The Heavy Hold pomade is not greasy or waxy like some of the other American Crew pomades.

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.

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.

Product is east to wash out and seems to breakdown overnight (which I like)

Performs as advertised. A little bit goes a long way.

My son has very curly hair and it works so well on his hair. Perfect item

It’s hard to find a good pomade. Once you find a good one, they’ll often change the formula to make it cheaper. American Crew is expensive, but consistent. It smells good, but not overpowering. The heavy hold works well. It leaves residue behind even after washing your hair, but that’s kind of expected for heavy hold. And it doesn’t dry out my hair.

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
