Best ever hair paste
Bought this on the advise of my amazing hair stylist and omg it is amazing! I can only say I have been using hair paste for many many years but this is definitely the best! It holds my hair so well! It has amazing texture, you wouldn’t even know there is anything in my hair! It’s so easy to apply to my hair, u just apply the tiniest amount to the palm of ur hand, rub it in with ur other hand and rub it into your hair and then style! Even the next day when u wake up with bed head, a little bit of this stuff and back to wonderful! A beautiful style and beautiful shine! I love it. And it washes out as if there was nothing in ur hair!

Good product, but not for me
I am not sold on this product, it seems to be effective on some people I know that use it, but I have thin longish hair and require a really firm hold. After going through the instructions and doing exactly what was expected with the product, it seemed to hold my hair really well, but after a few hours I found the hold was no longer stable and adding more of the product made my hair look a little greasy. As for the product smells really nice. It's also really easy to use in small amounts which means it would last a fairly long time. As this wasn’t for me I will only give it 4 stars, but for other people I feel it would be a great product. If you have found this review in any way useful, I would be grateful if you could let me know by clicking the "helpful" button below :)

Better than the blue for my hair at least
I previously used the blue American Crew product which is stiffer, but due to thinning hair I felt that product was too harsh on my hair and was pulling out what precious little hair I have! Switching over to this product, it's that little bit softer and easier to apply which is much better for my hair. A smallish pea sized dollop rubbed between your dry hands (and your hands must be dry) and then rub through your nearly dry hair after a shower, and style as you please. I find that even with wear throughout the day, come the end of the day, the shape is still holding and I'm able to reshape my hair to a degree. This completely washes out in the shower, so there's no product build up or need for potent cleansing shampoos. For reference, my hair is now fairly fine and sadly thinning, short length.

Versatile Hold Without the Crunch — Salon Results at Home
This American Crew paste delivers exactly what it promises — a medium hold that keeps hair in place without stiffness or flaking. It’s easy to apply, styles effortlessly, and gives a healthy, natural-looking finish with just the right amount of shine. Works beautifully on freshly cut styles, and it’s ideal for maintaining shape throughout the day. My son uses it daily and finds it especially helpful for adding texture post–hair transplant without pulling or buildup. A little goes a long way, making it great value too.

A great hair product brand.
This brand always delivers a great product,no matter what your requirements are.This paste gives a good medium hold with low shine to enable that casually tousled style.It lasts all day and washes out easily. Recommended.

Endlich ein Haarprodukt, das die Frisur da hält, wo man sie hingelegt hat! Durch Zufall (Youtube randomlockdownbinge) bin ich auf einmal bei Pflegeprodukten für Männer gelandet... wie auch immer das passiert ist, aber man kennt es. Ich habe mich jetzt gute 20 Jahre durch die herkömmlichen Drogerien und Supermärkte gekauft, von billig bis "teuer", von bunt bis "männlich", ich hab alle Produkte ausprobiert. ALLE. Die ausgesuchte Plürre ist dann entweder entschieden zu dünn und macht gar nichts mit der Friseur außer anfeuchten. Oder man nimmt etwas festes, dann sind die Haare einbetoniert, trocken, hart und wenn man sich ein Shirt über den Kopf zieht oder sich irgendwo anlehnt, sieht man aus wie der letzte Mensch. Die Produkte hatten zudem das Problem, dass man es vor dem Spiegel zwar in die gewünschte Form bekommen hat, die Frisur hält aber nicht den Tag durch.. oft keine Stunde. Bevor ich das Produkt bestellte, hab ich natürlich mit mir gekämpft die 13€ inkl Versand auszugeben. Vorab: Man braucht extrem wenig Produkt für das Styling, nicht mal die Hälfte von einem got2b Produkt z.B. - womit sich der Preis relativiert. Jetzt zum eigentlichen... das clay ist erwartungsgemäß fest, dennoch kriegt man es super verarbeitet, tastet euch bei der Menge ran... man braucht extrem wenig. Die Haare bleiben optisch organisch und fühlen sich lebendig an, ohne nass zu sein. Kein verkleben, kein Beton. Und jetzt das allerbeste! Die Frisur hält einfach so, wie man sie morgens stellt oder legt. Ich hab dünne, gerade Haare und davon viele, ergo entwickeln sie ab ca. 4cm Länge bereits ein gewisses Eigenleben. Tagsüber umziehen? Kein Problem. Kurz aufs Sofa hauen? Kein Problem. Draußen im Wind rumlaufen? Kein Problem. Wenn ich einen Nachteil benennen müsste: Auswaschen ist ohne shampoo schwer rückstandslos möglich. Und man bekommt das Produkt leider schwierig lokal. Fazit: Von mir eine klare Empfehlung es auszuprobieren, wenn bisher nichts funktioniert hat!

the smell is indeed not the nicest, but you get used to it eventually. the effect it has on hair is just really amazing, so the scent doesnt matter anymore :D
