American Crew Men's Hair Boost Powder for Lift & Volume, Light Hold, 0.3 oz

This men's product is one-of-a-kind because it texturizes and adds volume to the hair without any oils or a greasy feel. For somebody like me who has wavy and oily hair, it is the PERFECT product to use to take control of your style for an all-day and all-night hold that even holds up into the next morning when you wake up! To give you an idea of how it works—the product is a very fine powder that you sprinkle in your hair and work around to your liking. Start with just a little since it does go a long way. One container lasts me several months. I have never been able to find this product in any salon or store since it probably isn't very popular (which still surprises me). I consider this my secret styling product that has been my number-one go-to for years now. This product may not be for everyone, especially if you like running your fingers through your hair, or having a special someone do that ;) but if you're looking for something that will keep your style in place or add a boost to otherwise flat hair, this is it! Pack one of these in your gear bag in case you need a lift from "hat hair" or after a post-workout session and you'll be good for the whole day.

I've been using this boost powder for a few weeks now, and it's been a game-changer for my fine hair. Just a small amount at the roots gives me noticeable lift and volume without any greasy residue. It provides a matte finish, which I prefer over shiny products. The hold lasts through the day, and it's easy to restyle if needed. A little goes a long way, so the container should last a while. Highly recommend for anyone looking to add some oomph to their hairstyle without the heaviness of traditional gels or creams.

I have very thin hair, and I found that pomades and creams, even those advertised as "matte" finish, wouldn't hold up for an entire day. Oftentimes my hair would start to look greasy by the afternoon/evening, resulting in a complete wash and reapplication for a night out, for instance. This powder alternative is a bit of an over-correction for my hangup with various pomades. It's definitely dry. Some might say it's too dry, depending on their preference. For me, it's what I needed. My hair looks and feels dry all day long with this product, and it keeps it all under control. Experimenting with applying this powder with completely dry hair, slightly/towel dry hair, or even running wet hands through your hair after applying it, is recommended as you search for your desired look. If I were to nitpick, I'd mention two things: 1) Your hair may feel somewhat brittle after applying this powder. A necessary evil, in my opinion. I need my hair dry, and I expect some fallout as a result. Your hair will lose some of the brittle effect as the day goes on. 2) "Sprinkling" this powder onto your head is difficult if you're looking for consistent results. There were times where clumps just poured onto my scalp that I'd have to distribute afterwards. There were other times where the openings in the top became clogged and not enough came out. There's some trial and error as a result, but I found that placing a finger or thumb over roughly half of the openings helped me control how much came out in the end. Aside from these minor gripes, I'm happy with this product. I'll continue my search for the perfect styling product for my needs, but this one is the contending champ for the time being...

I'm always trying out different hair products to see what works and doesn't work for me. Here's instructions on how to use it: 1. Make sure your hair is completely dry. 2. Start by slightly shaking the unopened can a few times. 3. Open the can and put it over the areas you want to apply. 4. Begin to tap the side of the can. The powder should lightly land on top of your hair. 5. Use a brush with your other hand to help the powder to land where you want it to. 6. Use your hands to style or use another product for better results. PROS - I normally use this with the American Crew Fiber to get a great low-shine, bed-head look. It works very well. - This powder could be very helpful for those with thin hair. I would recommend using with the American Crew Boost Cream. CONS - The description says, "Retains natural moisture and softens hair." In my experience, this is false. Using the powder alone, it actually dries out my hair almost like bristles on a broom stick (exaggerating). It makes it tough to put my fingers through my hair. Just a little false advertising, but nothing to really complain about. Overall, I'd recommend this product to whoever needs an extremely matte way to thicken your hair.

I NEVER had anything remarkable to say about any hair products... until now. This stuff is absolutely amazing. I have wavy hair, that puffs out on the sides and falls flat on top. Because of that, I have kept it crew-cut short for pretty much my entire life. This worked very well in the 90's and early 00's when it seemed like every guy had close-cut hair unless they were trying to be Kurt Cobain. However, a couple of years ago, I got sick of it always looking the same and tried to grow it out some, only to be reminded of why I cut it so short to begin with. I tried probably 10 or so products (at the advice of barbers, friends, etc.) and returned them all because they either felt like I had rubbed filth in my hair or they made it stringy and greasy. I historically stayed away from American Crew products because I despise strong smells and they all have them, except this one which has no odor whatsoever (my favorite odor!) It only works if the hair is COMPLETELY dry, which also has the added bonus of saving me the time of showering in the morning (I switched to showering at night). If you have mixed-texture hair, or find that all waxes/pomades/gels/whatever do not do what you want, try this. I might start hoarding this stuff, because I will be mad if they stop manufacturing it one day.

I do not have thick or curly hair, but using boost powder helps add some volume and thickness to my hair. I would recommend it for anyone who is in a similar situation. This is more of a finishing product, and will likely need to be used after a paste or something like that. It’s a little pricey for how much you get, but my hair looks much better when I use it than if I don’t. Since this is a powder, I would recommend holding your breath while applying to be on the safe side.

It works great as far as styling your hair and holding it well. However, it doesn't have any fragrance. I'm a little suspicious that this may be some fake product. If you like this product and prefer no fragrance then maybe this is right for you. I'll continue to use it but just realize if you order it it's not the same as the genuine product.

My husband orders this over and over again. It gives instant easy lift and volume. Easily blends in to hair without clumping and seeing powder. Comes out fast so gently shake into hair.

My son likes it

No me fijé que era polvo, sin embargo da buen volumen, aunque yo no lo uso solo, primero uso la cera para moldear y defino con el polvo.

Superbra för att forma kort khår!

Ürünü az dökmeme rağmen saçımı yapış yapış yaptı. Elimle düzeltmeye çalıştığımda, saçlarım şekil almadı.

Uso American Crew Boost Powder da un po’ e devo dire che è diventato uno dei miei prodotti preferiti per lo styling. Dà volume immediato ai capelli, soprattutto se sono fini o tendono ad appiattirsi durante la giornata. Basta una piccola quantità sulla radice e il risultato si vede subito. Mi piace perché non unge, non lascia residui visibili e mantiene un aspetto opaco e naturale. Perfetto per chi vuole un look curato ma non troppo impostato. Si può usare anche insieme ad altri prodotti (come cera o pasta) per aggiungere texture o definizione. Consiglio soprattutto a chi vuole più corpo senza appesantire i capelli. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo e dura a lungo!
