@@2jakob643I have thin hair as part Filipino so American crew pomade has always worked well for my hair, but it’s overpriced and maybe this was 20 years ago when I first discovered it too. Maybe there are better pomades though I should try too I would like better. I have tried a lot and many I haven’t had as much success with
Ironically i spotted this in my local salon here in the UK and the owner is a friend of mine i asked her why shes selling this stuff. Surprisingly nobody has bought any yet.
I once did a google search on top pomades for 2017 & 2018 and most of those lists had American Crew Pomade on it! I left those websites immediately not even thinking about looking at the other pomades on those lists knowing how much of a sham that website is.
I will absolutely hate it if you loose your hair. Cause I really like how enthusiastic you get while you are reviewing a product. btw you were using minoxidil. Is it working? Best wishes mate! ♥
I used to buy this product back in 2000. It was an ok product then. It worked well for a shorter style pomp. Over the years, it has become substantially more expensive and yes, WAY more crapy. Personally speaking, if you want an affordable pomade that has all of the qualities that American Crap, I mean American Crew has, pick up Axe purple pomade. Keep up the great work. I like your videos and feel that you have a good grasp on what works for 50s style hair.
What's kind of funny for me is that I actually liked American Crew pomade, the high price is what made me start to look for something else. I found your channel and now I love Lockhart's Light and Medium, also Goon Grease in summer. Thanks Cameron for all your great reviews.
I’ve been able to find American crew pomade for about $10-12 for a 3oz thing but yeah, they have gotten overpriced over the years. I do remember it being like $20 and overpriced when I was in HS too back 20+ years ago
I've never heard anyone say that crew is shitty. The price is the shitty part. If you want something that is going to hold your hair then try the "fiber" by crew. It can also be purchased at any store.
13:00 I sorta scrubbed through this video to see if you kept "tweaking" and eventually you stopped. Then I rolled over to about 5 minutes after your last combing and I notice at this point you have a stranded section coming loose. So, yeah. It seems like the wheels are already starting to fall off. I would imagine, once you start actually walking around and doing stuff, the rest of the wheels would subsequently hit the deck. Thanks for the review. I see this stuff everywhere.
Love this video 😂😂😂 I tell you something, I opened up my barbershop about an year ago, and a company specialized in the distribution of barbers stuff immediately came to me, and they proposed me this American Crew, well the only thing I said was "there's no room in my shop for this crap". If you are a barber you suppose to care about your customer's hair, why would you put this shit up after a good haircut?
@@asbrond I've tried American Crew years ago, if you compare American Crew products to any, and I say literally any company products out there in the market, you will find yourself throwing A. Crew in the garbage. In Europe they sell they products around 23€, it's ridiculous if you think that a pomade from Reuzel is around 18€. American crew would be an option if the price was right, and I mean cheap, because the quality is ridiculous cheaper than the rest of companies out there.
@@asbrond reuzel red, layrite original, uppercut will do, if you want something better I recommend you an unorthodox water based pomade, like goon grease unorthodox by Lockharts, no chuck, your hair will stay shiny, pliable, there are also lots of brands that have great unorthodox water based pomade, like shear revival, you'll find a good list and great reviews in this channel!
Crew products are ok. It was developed by a barber at a time when these products were not easy to find. They work for what I need behind the chair. If you're looking for a more old school feel, the Grooming Cream and Fiber Cream or Fiber may be better suited. You also stated that you needed a haircut, so that will factor into performance as well. Now there are all sorts of pomade product available it seems. My current favorite for an old school feel and performance is Prospectors "Crude oil" pomade. If you're looking for value, they sell a massive 15 oz. tin of pomade! This stuff reminds me of Seventeen Brilliantine, but has a modern fragrance.
Only bought this for the elvis Presley lid. Only used it a few times. Once to experiment, second time to give it a second chance. Realized it is what it is and only use it in lazy days, where I don't want to style to much, or degrease.
Dude! American Crew products are indeed "cliche" but their pomade and forming cream are very good products! I get compliments and often am asked what I have in my hair with their pomade.
I have been using this on and off for almost 20 years. I thinks it works really well for my shorter style, fine hair. I pay about 8€ for it, it’s cheap! So if this stuff is so bad, please tell me what the alternative is. Which waterbased pomade, that does not dry and get hard should I try?
I use American Crew Pomade every couple of days and it works nicely, but...........only when I use another product before for hold, AC Pomade has nada when it comes to hold.
I've always bought all the AC waxes and they always done me solids. I guess my hair is different? I currently have this on right now and my hair looks good and the hold hasn't came apart lol
...like EVERY water based or "unorthodox" water based "pomade". they're all kinda GEL type and therefore crap.not ONE comes even close to a hold or heavy hold real pomade.
Senso Eirensen Unorthodox water based pomades are alright, they're not gels. I myself love UWBs as they are pretty much like OBs but just wash out easy. I however, prefer the struggle of buildup and love the feeling of real grease.
I have hair down to like the base of my neck and this actually works pretty well to keep it in control. But like...the fact that pomade works on hair this long kinda tells you how good it actually is
Cameron I really love your vids, I’ve watched every single one. With that being said I am going to ask something of you. Can we please get some better lighting? It occurred to me when you slicked your hair back and said it looked “decent” that it is really hard for us on this side of the screen to tell. Your hair kind of all blends in and doesn’t show much definition which in turn makes every pomade seem like they style/perform kind of similarly in the slick back test. Love the new series, man!
Hmmmm--I love this one, for a new school water based pomade. But I like really flexi hold. I tried the Heavy Hold version (try that one maybe?) and it was like concrete. This one smells nice, kinda like sex and a scented candle?, and makes my hair lovely. Shiny and full of movement and definition :) Just sayin'!
Idk what you're talking about. I've used this for years and it's the best one of tried. Holds just enough to keep my hair styled, but doesn't harden or cake up. You can still run your fingers through your hair without feeling like you need to wash grease off afterwards. I like the high shine, and it smells clean. Not to mention, if you shop around online, you can get a 3oz can for less than $10. Great value imo. I keep my hair pretty short, and it's naturally very thick, so maybe it's just not meant for longer styles that need to be "sculpted", e.g., a pompadour or something like that, or for thin or fine hair. So anyway, I totally disagree with this review.
Can you do mocha de gorilla wax and they sell American crew three pack for 20 bucks at target at times I bought for my cousin for a leave In conditioner 😂
Yeah American crew is pretty terrible, I have wavy hair and rock a slick back with a fade. I started to slickback my hair, and then put a little more and a little more and it would not hold.
i once bought american crew forming creme - thought its shit too. and i am not even an oil pomade user. though ive always thought that the guy on the picture just kinda looks like elvis.
I stole a jar of this "pomade" and also a jar of the grooming cream (wich is not that bad for being American Crew) just for the Elvis pictures, bc I wanted them for my collection. I find that the grooming cream is just ok for a quick everyday pomp and washes super easy, and if combined the two, the pomade gives a great shine but that's all.
I've broken about a dozen fingers in the 8 years I owned a NYC store. I never called the police even once, although I was friends with many of them. I would wait for my hidden cameras to find a guy like you. I'd wait for him to walk out and I'd follow him about a block or so, then I'd grab him and begin. Sometimes I would take the item they stole and use IT to bust the bridge of their nose. It was very satisfying EVERY TIME.
People don't steal because they're poor. They do it because they feel entitled or until they try their little tricks with me. No, Woopize is obviously a stupid wigger who is trying to get over. One day it will all hit him right in his stupid, crying and bloody face!
Think of the type of stupid wigger bragger that would admit to theft on the internet. You guys are all the same, and it's why prison is full of carbon copies of you...You can't keep your mouth shut.
Idk how American Crew is not in bankruptcy... their products are garbage! I think I’ve tried almost every product from them just to see if they have any product that is actually worth buying. There is none
Yeah. This pomade does suck. Its greasy and have no hold at all. It is really crappy. It does have nice shine though. I wanted to like it but no dice man.
I don't agree with anything you said. I does what it was meant to do. If you were searching for other features, maybe you picked up the wrong product. Apart from that, you may also be losing hair PROBABLY also due to using too much product, not going natural and brushing your hair a lot and so aggressively. So once again, you are your real enemy, not the products. P.s. for the benefit of readers: try using water on your hands after picking it up with your fingers, then rub your wet hands with product, and finally style, it spreads much more smoothly and easily.
Can’t agree with this review. I can find it for less than 10 bucks where I’m from, which makes it alright for what I use it for. Giving creams and super lights a slight more hold and the smell is light enough it doesn’t over power what ever pomade I have in. But stand alone it does alright. It’s tight for awhile but gives up half way through the day
I am a fanatic and you know what I love it wanna know what your a bad hair product stop laughing and you know what your looking at amazing and I love it
Are you kidding me crew as king where I come from. I'm Mexican And you forgot about 3 flowers which is exactly what you're talking about cruel had a scent like when you just left the Barbershop perfect consistency Perfect shine perfect hold
Crew has the best shine, hold, and smell out of any other pomade products. they are product witch has tried to copy, but they can never produce a king. Still would it not like I said, shine with out you disapproving

Uhh... okay. I've been using American Crew for like 15 years. Very satisfied. Different strokes
I've owned a few American Crew products in my life (not this one though). American Crew has just always seemed pretty overpriced to me.
What do you think of L.A Looks #12 hair gel?
Please do Axe Pomade next Cam!
Bought it about 6 months ago,still have 3/4 of it left.Where were you 6 months ago!! Now I just use it to lube my hair clippers...

Do you have short hair?
@@shahul8222 no I have long hair
Is it supposed to feel like gel idk but i might use to much

Right! Why would they put the term pomade which it is NOT a pomade!
Its called using a blowdryer idiots
Sebastian Y have you?
Only the grooming cream is goooood. Can you test the corleone sticky stuff?
Dissapointing, I just bought this to use. I was out today and saw American Crew makes a higher hold pomade so maybe that one will work better!

The forming cream is alright.
Vance Campbell it is...but i find their line has too many chemicals to use on a daily basis
Cameron, now that you have longer hair you should do another review on brylcreem
Can you try got2be pomade the kind with the orange lid- there are different kinds.
Every man Jacks is the worst pomade I’ve ever used. You should try it!
What would happen if you’d blow dry your hair and then apply?
I know a lot of “salon” brands are made to be used after blow drying.
hallobre i believe he always does that
xChrisS41x he never does it.

Can you please do a review about Headlock cream by Billy Jealousy?
Your hairline seems to stay the way it is and does not recede more.That is good.
Love the start!!!!!!
bro you ever heard of a blow dryer it helps with molding and hold.
America crew works from me...like the smell...hold great for my newly slick back style...I call B.S
Even murray's super light has more hold than this. At least in my hair
How many times are u gonna bruh ur hair
What about brylcream?
They used AC Grooming Cream on Mad Men, not AC Pomade
YOU'RE STUCK ON AN ISLAND AND HAVE TO USE 1 POMADE FOREVER....AMERICAN CREW OR OLD SPICE? 👀

The only thing this junk is good for is using it as a topper on a heavy pomade that doesn't have a lot of shine
I'm a big Elvis fan it works good

Expensive and overrated product.
Yes very true
American crew pomade not the best pomade but it’s alright 5/10, my favorite pomade is suavecito
this stuff gives me alot of flakes. the strong hold one is better.
FOR FIFTEEN DOLLARS
Crew has the best shine, hold, and smell out of any other pomade products. they are product witch has tried to copy, but they can never produce a king. Still would it not like I said, shine with out you disapproving
