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

This is my new go-to pomade. After trying many other pomades, this is my favorite (although Suavecito Firme Hold is very close). I like the American Crew Heavy Hold pomade because it maintains a good hold while not being too stiff when trying to comb my hair to get my desired style. The shine lasts all day while not being too greasy looking. I like the smell. It has the same scent as the other American Crew pomades, which is hard to describe, but it is not offensive in any way, and goes away after a couple of hours. The only bad thing about the pomade is that I have to use quite a bit for my thick hair. Granted, I have to use about the same amount as similar pomades, but the 3 oz can doesn't last that long.All in all, I would recommend this pomade for anyone who likes a little bit of shine and needs a heavier hold product. It is reasonably priced on Amazon, and is a quality product.

American Crew Heavy Hold is the best pomade that I have found for my somewhat wavy hair. I dry my hair and work a dime size amount of this pomade through my hair with my fingers. It has great hold throughout the day. The hold will weaken with heavy moisture in the air, but a slight moistening of the hair with a small reapplication does the trick. I love the scent of this pomade very much. It is pleasing and masculine, but not overbearing. The Heavy Hold pomade is not greasy or waxy like some of the other American Crew pomades.

Bought as a stocking stuffer for my husband. He used it and seemed to like it. Great size for travel and putting in stockings.

I tried this on the recommendation of a stylist when I was trying to find a replacement for a similar product that had been discontinued....she pointed out that it was significantly cheaper than a comparable women's product....she called it the 'pink tax'. I spike my short hair and this is perfect for how I style my hair, it lasts and doesn't droop as the day goes on.

I just received this yesterday last minute before I was going to work and my hair was tow-up. This stuff fixed that super quick! It's not a cream or a gel, but rather a waxy feeling to it. It's solid clear as seen in the photos and you get what you pay for. I got sick of using those ICE spiker products for turning into hard glue afterwards, then found this. At least with this you can still run your fingers through your hair!.. And yes, you can STILL style it to your liking. (Even when dry!) Some people say it's got a musky smell to it... DUDE, YOU'RE A MAN! MEN ARE MUSKY! This smells like a total man's product! To me it just smells really clean and really manly. It's pretty stiff for a pomade, just don't overdo it on dry hair. If you want that wavy, messed or styled up kind of hairdo..Then this is for you. I used a little extra for that maximum hold and my hair STILL hasn't budged even a 10 hour shift. I can still run my hands through my hair too! It's not hard at all. I'm ordering a lot more when I get my second delivery. I need to make sure it's the same product. Careful of fakes. I'll call and raise HELL on Amazon if it's a fake. This one's authentic though so you should be cool. And one more thing... DAMN IT AMAZON!!! IT TAKES FOREVER FOR YOU PEOPLE TO DELIVER A HAIR PRODUCT?! SERIOUSLY. Expect to WAIT a week for this product. IT SAYS TWO DAY SHIPPING WITH PRIME, BUT IT'S DECEPTIVE ADVERTISING. IT DOES NOT TAKE TWO DAYS, IT TAKES 7 DAYS. PLEASE CALL AMAZON TO LET THEM KNOW IT'S DECEPTIVE MARKETING. I'm giving Amazon 1 Star for delivery & 5 for the product.

It’s hard to find a good pomade. Once you find a good one, they’ll often change the formula to make it cheaper.American Crew is expensive, but consistent. It smells good, but not overpowering.The heavy hold works well. It leaves residue behind even after washing your hair, but that’s kind of expected for heavy hold. And it doesn’t dry out my hair.

There seem to be very different results for people in regards to the American Crew Heavy Hold Pomade (the black label). Enough hold vs. not enough hold. Strong scent vs. very mild. I have a slicked back undercut and the hold was good. My issue is with the fragrance, or rather the ingredient itself. I have a sensitivity to perfume/fragrance (it generally affects me when I am around women wearing perfume), and within seconds of applying this pomade my nose was running like crazy. I gave it a second attempt just to be sure, and got the same result. The smell itself is not unpleasant, but I found it to be very strong. I have used the American Crew Fiber, and that has more of a citrus smell (not perfume like) which does not irritate my sinuses. Unfortunately the hold of the Fiber is not enough for the length of my hair. The search continues.
