American Crew Cream Pomade 85 G

I really love this pomade. First of all, it smells absolutely fantastic, though it is a pretty strong "masculine" scent, so I don't wear perfume when I use it (I wear "feminine perfumes with notes of flowers and fruits); however, a woodsy, musky "masculine" cologne would probably complement this well. Anyway, I use this pomade when I have my hair cut into dramatic layers, in order to really texturize and define the layers, and it works fantastically for that! A really small amount goes quite a long way, so the small 8(?)oz container lasts quite a long time... which is important, considering the --in my opinion-- rather high price of American Crew products, including this one. I do definitely recommend this product for anyone who wants to add some quick texture to ... MoreI really love this pomade.

Love the smell of this pomade, it's the essential American Crew scent. It's not overpowering and lasts a long time. However, I didn't get enough hold from this product, found that I needed to supplement with another pomade or hairspray. If not applied well, it can get flaky and lose its hold. I have thick, moderately wavy hair.

Pomade is a greasy, waxy, or water-based substance that is used to style hair. Pomade generally gives the user's hair a shiny and slick appearance. It lasts longer than most hair care products and often requires multiple washes for complete removal. The original pomade of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries consisted mainly of bear fat or lard. Lanolin, beeswax, and petroleum jelly have been used extensively in the manufacture of modern pomades. The stiffening properties of pomades make sculptured hairstyles such as pompadour possible.! i highly recommend it to everyone!

I really like the crew brand. I’ve been using this product for a few months now and the application process is really easy. I like the faint scent as well. I gave it four stars instead of five because I don’t think it’s as long lasting as other products.

Cream Pomade

I like this product. I've been using it for a while. It definitely has a good hold on your hair without making it look like there's anything in your hair. I would recommend maybe adding some natural ingredients to make it smell a little better, if possible. Also, I don't know who did the wrapping, but filling up the entire box with confetti paper for a small container of this cream pomade was not the move. If it's like an environmentally friendly thing, I get it, but find a new option. The confetti paper is a mess and leaves behind a lot of paper powder all over everything inside the box and then it got on my hands and on the floor.

I will buy this again!

The brand/product that I loved and had used for years must have changed something in it's ingredients which made it like glue in my hair ~ so unfortunately I had to start the painful search of finding a replacement. This product did the job! My hair is short and fine and it helps to give my hair the texture and shine that I was use to with my old product! YEAH!! After a few tries of other brand names I finally found a replacement!! Lucky me!!

It’s a fake

Received product. Thought it was a good deal until one was opened. The contents is white vs clear. Some have a yellowish tint to them. The gel has a mild offensive smell and the gel doesn’t hold. Need to put twice as much then the clear gel. By doing so, the smell is not pleasant. Also, the containers are inconsistently filled. Some are filled to the top, some half way, and others 2/3s full.

Not for me but probably good for others

I bought 4 American crew products at the same time to compare them, the Cream Pomade, the Matte Styling Cream, the Forming Cream, and the Defining Paste. The descriptions on the American Crew website aren't helpful, so I am hoping my description helps. The Cream Pomade dries quickly and dries slightly firm. It does not really hold shape but keeps the frizz down. If you rub your fingers through it, it will still keep the frizz lightly at bay. It holds a bit less than I want, but I can't fault the product for that. It does tend to feel lightly greasy if you don't shower in the morning.

Will never buy again

Product felt greasy after some time. They recommend for curly hair which I admittedly don't have, but the hold is sub par, my hair falls flat even after using ~2 fingertip amount and lays in a slick pile. I bought this out of desperation and completely regret it. I think it is way overpriced. It is faintly scented but not enough to overcome the medicinal smell it has. Very disappointing at a premium price point. The more I think about this review the angrier I get. Cannot recommend unless you're going for an actual greaser style slicked look.
