This product is designed for styling of any hair type. American Crew uses a water-based formula, so it does not weigh down the hair. This water-based pomade is shampooed out easily without residue. It contains glycerine, which moisturises hair and makes it shine. Result: shiny, sleek, hair under control. Does not dry out hair. Work a small amount evenly through dry or towel dried hair and style as desired.
