American Crew High Hold Styling Gel Review

With its pros. It fixes well, a large volume for such a price, much more profitable than a small package Has cons: The jar itself is all so scratched as if it was brought to me without a box and they played football in the warehouse

Different pros: I have been using this product for many years and have no complaints. Its cons: The tube is damaged from above, the gel flows out. The bottle is a quarter empty. That means you have to use it right away. Do not order here, waste of money.

The hair gel works well and holds even the most unruly and thick hair. My only criticism was the packaging. When the gel arrived the lid was shattered and there was gel in my box causing other items in the box to become sticky. This doesn't usually happen with my purchases here, although this is the first time I've purchased a 13.1 ounce bottle of gel. I'm not sure if this is a consistent issue with items with the same cap so I'm not sure I would buy this hair gel again.

So I've had this bottle for over 2 years and it still won't run out lol. That's a lot for a value I have to acknowledge. Hooooweverrrr - holding power is pretty much bullshit. It does not withstand wind, activity or large movements. And length of time is the enemy. I have wavy, thick hair and need to apply a handful of gel to get the look and hold I want. Then after about 4-6 hours I have to repeat it because it wears off. After using it for 2 years and being stingy not to pay for another gel…

Works well. BUT if it's not the same formula that we get in test tubes. The smell is completely different. There is no pleasant aroma like with a tube. The ingredients are similar, but there are a few differences. Why? WHY? I will not buy again.

This review is from American Crew Firm Hold: I have been a satisfied customer of American Crew Gel for over 10 years. I have tried all types of hair gels in different price ranges and I keep coming back to this one. I have thick hair and it suits me, doesn't dry out or peel. I like that it is alcohol free. Smell: Has a light fragrance, almost like a men's perfume. Don't overwhelm or linger. The smell is mainly perceived when squeezing out of the bottle. After application and during the day it…

The product I received does not appear to be an American Crew hair gel; The consistency of the gel, the smell and the overall quality of the product was drastically different from the bottles of American Crew setting gel I usually buy in stores. Disappointing.

If you're looking for a hair gel with a super-duper cement-like hold, this is it. It also has a pleasant, unobtrusive, masculine scent. It spreads easily throughout the hair (unlike some other "super hard" hair gels) and you can easily dilute the gel with a little water. However, after applying this gel, it takes about an hour to dry at room temperature. Just be aware that if you decide to transfer the gel to another bottle (e.g. a travel bottle), the smell will quickly fade and start to…

I've been a happy American Crew Gel customer for years but that seems to be changing, or is it a generic product in a Crew bottle. I've noticed that the last two orders from a large bottle don't have the pleasant aroma and longevity that I'm used to. does anyone know why The smaller bottle bought from Target seems fine, but the last few 33.8 ounces I bought on sale on Amazon appear to be an all-purpose gel or maybe an old product that has expired.

I have tried many brands of gel over the years. Glossimo gel was my favorite for many years and then became the Bain De Terre original until both companies stopped making them. A friend recommended I try American Crew and I've never looked back. What I love about this gel is that it has a broad hold and is non-greasy. The trick to increasing holding power is to apply it to damp rather than damp hair, rather than dry or damp hair. The wetter your hair, the longer the prescribed amount will last.

I'm half Hispanic and a mix of European and American. My hair is mostly black, loose curls, I keep it short and slicked to one side. I have fairly ethnic "horse hair" as my mother likes to call it, and I grew up wearing hair gels. Most store-bought gels leave hair flaky and don't last long. However, this American Crew formula is flake-free and you can even wet it and discard it. This is the only hair product brand I will buy as their lipsticks, fibers and hair creams make me feel like a…
