American Crew Men's Hair Forming Cream (OLD VERSION), Like Hair Gel with Medium Hold & Medium Shine, 3 Oz (Pack of 1)

I love this product! We’ve been using this product for over a year now, and I can confidently say that its quality is top notch for its price. It holds my hair up with the perfect medium shine and moisture level. My hair texture feels very comfortable, and I definitely love how flexible my hair is when I apply the product. Not the best curling ability, but for controlling your hair in general, it’s an excellent choice. The size of the container is pretty good too, and it lasts me about a few months per container. The picture is what’s left after using it about 2 months. (Still a pretty good amount left) Overall, it’s a great product and I would definitely recommend getting one for yourself!

Update: Since I wrote this, I've changed how I do things. Now, I blow dry my hair bone dry, and then use the defining paste (matte, and holds good with just a tiny spritz of hairspray). I also have some left over forming cream, and it works really well too, just gives the hair a shinier look. For me, that shinier look is nice if I'm going to a wedding, or dressing up...that sort of thing. I blow dry the hair in the front up, blow dry the rest totally dry, put some defining paste in my palm, rub my hands together vigorously and warm it up, and then work it into my hair. I love the way the defining paste smells, matte looks nice, and it's super easy to get that messy but controlled look. I have slightly wavy hair, not stick straight or curly. I decided to leave the rest of my original review below. Funny how the process changes over time! Experiment and have fun, but I personally think the Defining Paste is awesome for matte, and forming cream if you want a little bit of shine (but it's harder to work into your bone dry hair, and doesn't smell as good). ******************************************** Original Review I copy and pasted this from my Pomade review! ************************ I've used four different American Crew wax/pomades, and they are all great. They smell great, and they are relatively inexpensive. The hard part is figuring out...what product is good for what hair? I've gone from very short guy hair, to longer guy hair...and as I've done that, the American Crew product that I prefer has changed. With my hair really short, I was using their "classic wax," which they no longer make. I started trying their Fiber product on that short hair, and it worked pretty well. Get my hair fairly damp, work the Fiber in, and it would give me good hold...little spike in the front. Another product I was using with my short hair was TIGI Bed Head Men Matte Separation Wax. That stuff is REALLY sticky...which is fine for short hair. Before I move onto the Pomade, the other thing to consider is...varying the dampness of your hair prior to the product will have a HUGE effect on how it works. For example, you can have your hair fairly damp with the stickier (ie high hold) products, and still be able to work it in really well. As your hair gets drier though, two things happen. The hold becomes even MORE pronounced, but it also becomes harder to work into the hair. So as I grew my hair out...the Fiber began to work less well. I had a lot more hair, and because it's a "higher hold," it actually started to weigh my hair down. Spiking up hair that's only an inch or two long worked fine...but as my hair got to 3+ inches, it would start to fall over. And the Fiber is fairly sticky...so your hair needs to be fairly damp to work it in, but then it doesn't want to stay up. Now I will FINALLY talk about the Pomade! I had to move to a "lower hold" product...and I wasn't used to this at first. I was leaving my hair fairly damp, and putting the pomade into that didn't give it much hold at all (though depending the style you want...like a more traditional mad men kind of look without a lot of spike, then that would be fine). I wanted a little more spike and "verticalness" to my hair, so what I had to do was start drying it more. I've started using a blow dryer to "train" my hair in the direction I want, and to get it much drier (not 100% dry, but maybe 75%). Now the pomade has much more hold! The other product I've been using is the Forming Cream. It's similar to the pomade...but a little less shiny. It has worked well in my longer hair, and like I said before...to get any hold, I need my hair drier. You will probably have to try a couple different products until you find the one you really like. But before you give up on any one product, vary the dampness of your hair first. Hopefully my experience will point you in the right direction. For short hair, use the high hold products with damp hair. For longer hair, use the low hold products with drier hair.

I've been using the American Crew Men's Hair Forming Cream for a while now, and I have to say, it's become my go-to styling product. This cream offers the perfect balance of hold and flexibility, allowing me to achieve the hairstyle I want without feeling like my hair is glued in place. One of the things I love most about this forming cream is its versatility. Whether I'm going for a sleek, professional look or a more relaxed, tousled style, this cream delivers every time. It's easy to work through my hair and provides just the right amount of hold to keep everything in place without looking stiff or unnatural. Another great feature of this product is its matte finish. I prefer a more natural-looking hairstyle, and this cream gives me exactly that. It adds texture and definition without any shine, which is perfect for a laid-back, understated look. I also appreciate that this cream is lightweight and doesn't leave my hair feeling greasy or weighed down. It washes out easily and doesn't build up over time, so my hair always feels clean and fresh. Overall, I can't recommend the American Crew Men's Hair Forming Cream enough. Whether you're styling a sophisticated business look or going for something more casual, this cream has you covered. It's a must-have for any guy looking to elevate his hairstyle game.

Have been using Gel for YEARS! Then I discover this amazing product. No stiff, sticky hair but smooth and easy to sculpture. Absolute game changer!

I have dry, thick, frizzy and unruly hair, and this is the only hair product I can find that keeps it tamed and neat. Adds a nice level of shine and has good control. Would recommend checking out.

Alltid prisvärd och grymt bra hår cream.

J'ai utilisé cette cire American Crew Forming Cream pendant longtemps sur les conseils de mon coiffeur, et c'est un excellent produit. Ce que j'ai aimé : L'équilibre parfait : Elle offre une bonne tenue tout en gardant une certaine souplesse. On ne se retrouve pas avec les cheveux figés ou "cartonnés". Le fini : Elle apporte un peu de brillance naturelle sans faire un effet gras. L'odeur : Très discrète et masculine, vraiment agréable. Aujourd'hui, j'ai changé de coupe et je suis passé sur une poudre coiffante, donc je ne l'utilise plus, mais je la recommande sans hésiter à tous ceux qui cherchent une cire fiable, facile à appliquer et de qualité professionnelle.
