American Crew Men's Hair Molding Clay, Like Styling Gel with Strong Hold & Medium Shine, 3 oz

I recently tried the American Crew Men's Hair Molding Clay, and I can confidently say it has become a staple in my grooming routine. Here’s a detailed look at my experience:Texture and Application Consistency: The clay has a smooth, workable texture that makes it easy to scoop out and apply. It feels lightweight and doesn’t weigh down my hair. Application: A small amount goes a long way. I found that warming it up between my palms before applying helps distribute it evenly throughout my hair. Hold and Style Strong Hold: The molding clay provides a strong hold that lasts all day without feeling stiff or crunchy. It’s perfect for achieving a variety of styles, from textured looks to slicked-back hairstyles. Flexibility: Despite its strong hold, the clay allows for some flexibility, letting me restyle my hair during the day if needed. Finish Matte Look: One of the standout features is the matte finish it provides. It gives my hair a natural look without the shine that some other products leave behind, which I really appreciate. No Residue: Unlike some styling products, this clay doesn’t leave any flaky residue, even after a long day. It washes out easily with shampoo, which is a huge plus. Fragrance Scent: The scent is subtle and pleasant, not overpowering. It’s fresh without being too cologne-like, making it suitable for daily wear. Value Price Point: While it may be a bit pricier than some drugstore alternatives, the quality and performance make it worth the investment. A single container lasts quite a while, so it’s good value for the price. Conclusion Overall, American Crew Men's Hair Molding Clay is a fantastic product for anyone looking to achieve a stylish, textured look with a strong yet flexible hold. Its matte finish, ease of use, and pleasant scent make it a top choice in my grooming arsenal. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to elevate their hairstyling game!

Bought all kinds of products! Needed non greesy feel/look, non crusty (gel ugh), natural, holds medium length hair up. Preferred to run fingers through hair and wanted a hold into day two. Winner: Crew Molding Clay. Others: Sauvecito Pomade firme - This is overly perfumed gel. It is crusty when dried. Hard pass. Crew Heavy Hold Pomade - Felt like the Sauvecito Pomade, less crusty and no fragrance. Hold wasn't as strong as other products. Crew Fiber - Second place! Smooth feel like grooming cream and molding clay had a baby. Hair needs to be drier when put in. Loses hold when touched though. Crew Grooming Cream - Thick grease feel. Holds very well but I didn't like touching my hair after -- which does not break hold when you do. Equate Pomade Medium Hold - This is what you'd expect from Pomade feel. Wears out in one day and loses hold though. Trendsetter Matte Wax - Got the sample pack which is highly recommend just for feeling out prosucts. Found medium not enough hold. Firm was right but their firm is too stiff and unnatural feeling. Sample pack size good for travel to touch-up places after the fact. Crew Molding Clay - Drier feel and hair just feels natural while fingers can smoothy go through -- which does not break the hold. Holds very well day one and holds like the pomade on day two. I reapply day two if I care. The dampness of your hair effects the hold -- all water based. So play with dryness when using a new product. I use molding clay throughout and grooming cream on my kalik so nothing gets out of place. Cream perfectly controls any straggler hairs. If I saved you money, you're welcome!

My go to! Easy to wash out, lasts along time and smells good! Easy to apply and leaves hear feeling clean not greasy. Good value given the longevity!

I’ve been using this molding clay to style my straight, firm Asian hair right after a shower. The texture is easy to apply, doesn’t feel sticky, and gives my hair a nice, natural-looking shape without making it look greasy. While it styles my hair nicely in the morning, it’s not quite strong enough to keep everything in place for the entire day. Overall, it’s a solid product for light to medium hold and everyday use, but if you need long-lasting, all-day strength, you might need something stronger.

Easy to use and style hair without being sticky. The hold is good as well for shorter thinner hair and seems to last all day.

I had been using Crew Fiber for years, but I was never really happy with it. It just never held very well and could be difficult to use if my hair got too dry; so, I decided to try the Crew Molding Clay out as a change. I wasn't sure about the clay at first because it didn't feel very tacky so it didn't seem like it would hold, but after applying it to my hair I was very pleasantly surprised. Not only is the hold much better than the fiber product, it was much easier to work into my hair and I can create a better-looking style now. I will say this, the clay product does have some shine to it so it is going to give your hair more of a wetter look, but as someone who has some grey I like the shine because it makes my hair look darker. The clay product is also more difficult to wash out of hair and off of hands after use, but for me that is a fair tradeoff for having something that actually has some decent holding power that lasts. If you are someone like me that maybe got started using the fiber product, but was never really happy with it; I think the molding clay is definitely worth a try.

Too oil feel. Not really washable.

Never used this product before but it easy to use, just takes a small amount on your fingers or palms and work it into your hair. It adds a little shine, remains soft, yet helps keep hair in place.

Efectivamente, si es AC con el nuevo empaque. Tiene buena fijación alta aunque en cabellos lacios recomiendo usar un spray extra. No soy muy fan de el brillo pero este se nota natural como recién húmedo el cabello. De la marca el que mejor fijación tiene es sin duda AC FIBER. Buena compra.

Good product.

I like to wear my hair short, this product is great for creating a "messy" look which I like. I have been using this product for 6 years.

I’ve tried it and it seems to be working

Received the paste without a lid. Very disappointing.
