With Lanolin and Carnauba (Brazil/palm) wax, conditioning sucrose, and mineral oil, this American Crew Forming Cream has quality not just in the look it gives you, but what they put in it as well. Pros: This idea has mostly come because a few people have reported hair loss while using American Crew Fiber, but this is mostly because it is tough and running your fingers through it may cause you to pull some hair out if you tug too hard.

Forming Cream is one of the best American Crew products for thin hair, but it actually works well for all other hair types too.What goes into them is high quality as well. And while that may not be your main focus, it’s still something to think about if you want to protect your hair from damage or loss. Not all sea salt sprays actually have sea salt; some have epsom salt, but the Beauty by Earth spray contains sea salt, herbal ingredients — such as aloe vera (its primary ingredient), green tea, raspberry — minerals, oils and vodka. (Many hair products have alcohol, but it’s pretty funny that Beauty by Earth actually lists it as vodka.) We researched its ingredients, and overall, they’re beneficial for hair health. (Yes, even the vodka, which fights dandruff, reduces frizz and stimulates hair growth.)

But despite these products being pretty versatile for all hair types, here is a helpful little table to help you work out which is the best American crew product to try for yourself first. Hair Type Blended with essential natural oils that help soften beard hair and nourish skin, the American Crew Ultra Gliding Shave Oil is a must-have for men. It's a great prep-step towards achieving a close shave. For anyone prone to razor bumps, ingrown hairs, or other irritation this product is a must - it's superb for shaping sideburns, beards and other hard-to-shave areas. As another added feature, it works to lubricate and invigorate the skin - a bonus for those with sensitive skin! American Crew Wax and Hair CreamAs you can see from these 3 different hair products, there is some overlap in what they offer and many people could use more than one product to good effect.

Other fibers are stiff and waxy, but Smooth Viking has a creamy consistency and can be applied with your fingertips without warming it in your palms first. Its ingredient list includes rose hips, coconut, chamomile and green tea, which add a light, pleasant scent that won’t overpower your cologne. Read more…Challenger – Matte Cream Pomade is for gents who want a pomade that won’t leave a high shine. Challenger combines the benefits of a water-soluble pomade with hair cream: a firm hold without looking shiny. Its consistency is like thin toothpaste, and it can be effortlessly applied in seconds with your fingertips without warming it in your hands first. Spray: We’re not referring to hairspray, but to products that are marketed equally to men and women: sea-salt sprays. The salt in these light sprays absorbs oils and adds texture and body, giving medium-length or long hair a tousled, surfer look. Cream: This is one of the easiest hair products to apply and is often combined with pomade and fiber. Hair cream is lightweight and doesn’t have a strong hold, so dry or barely damp hair can be styled loosely for a more casual look with a matte finish. Creams work on almost any hair length, but because they don’t have a strong hold, they’re not ideal for a spiked-up hairstyle. Pomade: Traditionally an oil-based product, most pomades are now water-based and have a gel-like consistency. Pomade can be applied to wet or towel-dried hair and usually has a high shine and strong hold. Generally, pomade is used on hair styles that are combed. Think Mad Men. Fiber: There’s actually no fiber in hair-styling fiber. It’s a blend of beeswax, lanolin, oils and other ingredients in the form of a hard paste. Fiber needs to be warmed between your hands before applying and is most effective on dry, short or medium-length hair. Fiber has a matte (no shine) finish and adds texture to hair so it can be molded into shape.
