American Crew Men's Hair Fiber (OLD VERSION), Like Hair Gel with High Hold with Low Shine, 3 Oz (Pack of 1)

Best paste I've ever used. This wax substance works much like gel except that it is not shiny and has a matte like finish. This allows it to give your hair a more natural texture and appearance. It is also not brittle like gel is, so you can still run your hands through it and it will hold your hair up. The normal size container lasts me probably 8 months or some thing (ballpark) with regular length guy hair (though I suppose my girlfriend uses it on occasion now that I think about it), but it does eventually start drying up even if you just open it to get it on your finger and then close it.I find that it works best with almost completely dry hair and completely dry hands. About 20 minutes after a shower with my hair and I just run my hand through my hair for like 2 seconds and it looks great.

Great hair fiber. Has great hold and keeps your hair style pretty much the same throughout the day. It has no scent and does not leave the hair feeling greasy at all. The only sort of knock that I found was that it takes a little extra effort to wash off but it’s not difficult. One of the best hair products I’ve used.

If you have a thick wavy hair type this is probably one of the only products that will work for you. I personally hate products that leave your hair shiny and with that "crunchy" feeling to it. This product avoids that while still having fantastic hold.Pros:-Relatively cheap-Size is fairly good for the price-Hold is fantastic-No shininess or crunchNeutral:-The smell. For me its just OK. Its kind of has a lemony citrus smell to it but it is a tad strong for me.Con:-It is quite sticky on the hands, somewhat difficult to wash off in my experience.The Verdict:-For thick wavy hair its a must have. The price point and size are all reasonable. This product is at least worth a try if you don't like the shine and crunch texture of other products.

I have used a handful of products for my short (1-1.5"), slightly wavy hair to give it some lift and texture. My hair is on the thicker side. Compared to other American Crew products I have used, this stands out as a superior product. Even with thicker hair, it keeps its hold for the day. The finish is natural without any shine. My only beef is that it clumps on occasion when spreading it on your fingers so be sure you do so thoroughly. This is especially true if your hands are wet at all. I've caught white globs in my hair when I've failed to spread it completely before applying, and once I missed it until someone at work asked me if I had gum in my hair. Oops. It does apply well to wet hair, although the application will be diluted so the hold after drying won't be as firm. Overall, I've had better products but they usually cost 25-50% more and often can only be bought at a salon.

My husband swears by this hair wax—and I have to admit, it works great. It gives his hair a clean, polished look without making it stiff or greasy. The hold lasts all day, but it still looks natural and touchable. Plus, it smells really nice without being overpowering. Easy win for both of us!

I loved it. It allows you to leave your hair in the desired position, the product is easily removed when you wash your head and does not leave a smell of fragrance, grease or anything else unpleasant. On the other hand, it yields a lot because only a small portion is used.

My favorite hair product!

Updated review:I have changed from 1 star to 3.I have acclimated to the awful odor of this product. It's much more tolerable for me now.It goes a long way, as long as you make an effort to towel dry your hair pretty well. My initial impression was it took too much but after using it over time I discovered it really goes a long way.Occasionally I'll change a review from bad to better. When things change, or if I'm wrong, I try to share that.One thing I've come to appreciate about this product is that it doesn't seem to accumulate in your hair so it can be used daily with out build up. I've used dry wax which required me to take a day off here and there for that reason.Sometimes I'll read one of my reviews and think it could be written so much better, and I could find a lot to criticize. Hopefully the reviews still help people to get the information they need, and hopefully people understand they aren't professionally written due to time constraints.My original review is left below for those interested.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------There is nothing I like about this product. Here is the list of things which I don't like:Strong stinky odor.Takes a lot to do the job.Seems to require you dry your hair more than others before use.Its like plumbers putty, hard to get out of the container so you end up getting lumps of it.Can be visible in your hair due to lumps or just the color pigment I guess.Doesn't seem to hold unless your hair is again, mostly dry after showing. And you have to use a lot.,I prefer other products to this one. If you are looking for a cheap product, this might work for you. Just because I don't like it at all, doesn't mean in this case that nobody ever would or should like it. I don't view this the same as a product like a wall clock... which works or it doesn't.Products like this hair product are subjective moreso I think.I suppose if it was the last product of its kind on the earth, I might use it again. Not until then.
