Discover the premium hair care, hair styling and skincare products from American Crew here at Mankind. Much like Forming Cream, it’s best suited to simple, slicked-back styles and for men with hair on the thinner side. This pomade dries hard like all pomades, but since it has a matte finish, it doesn’t give your hair that wet Elvis look. Made with Lanolin and beeswax, and moisturizing oils and fats, Fiber gives you a great hold while treating your hair.

Although Forming Cream is pretty versatile and would still work for long hair, it would usually be a better idea to use a product with a stronger hold.So, if you were looking for a product with high hold and more of a matte finish, don’t go for molding clay.

Despite being capable of all hair types, Pomade is best for people with curly hair whereas Forming Cream is more versatile. Although it isn’t quite matte, Fiber will produce a finish with less shine than Forming Cream would. American Crew Forming Cream works perfectly well for curly hair, providing a medium hold and light shine just as it would for straight hair.

True to its name, it has a thick, paste-like consistency that can be applied to all types of hair and lengths. Essentially, if you’re looking for medium hold and a higher shine, go for Pomade and not Forming Cream. Fiber’s stronghold keeps the hair together which could cause you to rip some hair out if you’re not careful.

Thanks to its smooth consistency, as you massage it into your hair you’ll notice that it has minimal tug and pull.

The American Crew paste can be applied to dry or towel-dried hair, but we found that we had more control when we used it to style dry hair. To be more specific, if your hair is longer than 5-6 inches long, go for something with high hold instead. Forming Cream shouldn’t be bad for your hair as it is a relatively mild product with moisturizing and conditioning properties. The beauty of Forming Cream is that the hold is moveable, making restyling simple if that’s what you want to do.The range of hair care available, including shampoo and conditioner, is perfect for cleansing, toning and revitalising your hair. As you scoop out the Forming Cream, you’ll notice that it has a buttery, creamy, and light consistency. If you’ve got a simple, slicked-back, or side-slicked style that Forming Cream would be best suited to, once a day would be absolutely fine. If you’re suffering from hair loss naturally, using American Crew Fiber might not be the best product for you long-term, but you shouldn’t worry about using it generally.

If you’ve got thick or long curls, you may find them difficult to tame with Forming Cream and may benefit from a product with a stronger hold. While brands are a matter of personal preference and many other great competing brands have arisen in recent years, the good thing about American Crew is that it has stood the test of time. Unlike Forming Cream and Fiber, Pomade is more like an actual cream; no working through hands to loosen firmness.But as I mentioned earlier, if you’ve applied the cream to damp hair, you’ll want to wait until it dries before reviewing what it actually looks like. Forming Cream is one of the best American Crew products for thin hair, but it actually works well for all other hair types too. Suavecito is easy to apply by simply rubbing it between your fingers and massaging it into your hair.
