Smells great, does the job and washes out easily.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 June 2019

Verified Purchase

This paste definitely does what it says on the tin. It holds well but also allows for restyling throughout the day. It'll perform even better if you use after washing and with a hair dryer and I personally add a bit of finishing hold with a dash of hairspray. Importantly, it does not make my hair look or feel greasy unlike a lot of stuff out there.

A real plus for me is that this smells really nice. It's also really easy to use and works well in small amounts meaning this small tub will last me a reasonably long time. It's really easy to take just a little out of the tub, work it through your hands and into your hair. It washes out simply and easily with ordinary shampoo.

All in all, five stars. Smells great, is easy to use and definitely does the job. When I have finished this pot I will almost certainly order another.

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 :) Happy styling.

Fissaggio medio adatto per capelli lunghi. Forse unge un po’ troppo!

Reviewed in Italy on 30 May 2017

Verified Purchase

Inizio col dire che esistono 6 tipi di cere della American Crew che potete trovare tutte qui (copiate e incollate il link su google: https://amzn.to/3c3FzfT). Le cere si distinguono per la lucentezza e il grado di fissaggio.

Io cercavo una cera di tipo opaco e il cerchio si è ristretto su due tipi: la fiber con fissaggio alto e bassa lucentezza (ecco il link, https://amzn.to/37UY3fg copiatelo e incollatelo su google) e questa defining paste (fissaggio medio e bassa lucentezza).

Alla fine ho scelto questa e devo dire che il fissaggio non è molto forte perciò ve la consiglio se avete capelli lunghi, per esempio li portate tutti indietro o lateralmente con un ciuffo abbastanza lungo. Viceversa, con capelli corti sui 5-7cm credo che sia più indicata la fiber. Non posso dirvi “vi consiglio la fiber” perché non l’ho provata, però son sicuro che se avete i capelli non molto lunghi e cercate un fissaggio abbastanza duro dovete andare sulla fiber e non su questa!

Detto ciò, è una buona cera e il profumo è davvero molto bello. Si utilizza prendendone una nocciolina per poi strofinare la quantità tra le mani. Mi raccomando, strofinate fortemente per riscaldare la cera fino a quando non scompare dalle mani (inizialmente si vedrà il bianco)!

Ciò che NON mi è piaciuto, invece, è che il giorno dopo lascia i capelli unti o sporchi. Forse è l’effetto che fa su di me anche perché ho i capelli grassi e forse ciò che fanno un po’ tutte le cere.

Attualmente non la sto usando più e l’ho sostituita con una cera in POLVERE, perché lascia i capelli naturali e non unge. Qui il link della cera in polvere: https://amzn.to/3a1kG37
Spero di esservi stato utile, ciao!

A great product.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 December 2017

Verified Purchase

I've used the product for a number of years and have found it to provide great hold without any of the stickiness. Use a pea sized amount - or a bit more if you have longer hair - and work it through from root to tip to give yourself the sort of finish you like. The hold is not as hard as the "Fibre" product but is instead a medium hold. I usually wash it out on an evening and it does wash out very easily.

The scent of the product is very pleasant and it does not leave any stains on your hands. The price online is a lot cheaper than from my regular salon.

Better than the blue for my hair at least

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 April 2020

Verified Purchase

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.

Great Hair Product

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 August 2019

Verified Purchase

I normally use AC fibre. but recently i have grown my hair a bit longer than normal and fibre isnt great with longer hair as it weighs it down i find, this is a great product thats lighter, hold is not as strong but does exactly what you want in give hold but with some movement. I expected nothing less with AC, and it delivered exactly what i wanted.

great Quality but paste (Green one)is better

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 December 2019

Verified Purchase

Apply to damp/towel dried hair for best results and finish using a little more. Scoops out perfectly fine. Breaks down/Emulsifies great, however it does leave a sticky residue on your hands. The smell is a bit funky, but definitely not the worst. I would use this in combination with a matte product(as a finishing product) because the shine can look a bit greasy at times. Do keep in mind it is a low hold product, so I wouldn't recommend if you have medium length/long hair or if you're expecting your hair to maintain all day. I say the smell was the reason for the 4 Stars overall.

Mein Favorit seit 2015

Reviewed in Germany on 10 April 2018

Verified Purchase

Früher habe ich immer irgendein 3-Wetter-Taft-Haargel (und Konsorten genutzt), bis mir meine Friseurin dieses Produkt vorgeschlagen hat. Ich war offen gestanden sehr skeptisch, da diese kleine Dose schon viel Geld kostet. Aber ich habe es gewagt.

Ich habe eine typische Männer-Kurzhaar-Frisur, welche einmal im Monat rundherum auf 12 mm angepasst wird. Oben wird entsprechend langgelassen, sodass man noch etwas zum stylen hat. Mein Profilbild lässt u.U. erahnen, wie mein Schnitt ist.

Genau für diesen Schnitt nutze ich die Defining Paste. Dabei wird nur ein bisschen auf die Kuppe meines Zeigefingers raufgemacht und dann in beiden Händen so sehr verrieben, bis es verschwunden ist und die Hände vom Reiben warm sind. Nun kann ich damit durchs Haar fahren und meine Frisur so zurecht stylen, wie ich es für richtig halte.

Die VORTEILE dieses Produktes überwiegen dabei so stark, so dass der hohe Kaufpreis zu vernachlässigen ist:

1. Dieses Produkt verklebt nicht die Haare. Das Haar sieht dabei ganz natürlich aus, so als hätte man von Natur aus den hergeführten Style
2. Sollte mal das Haar durch Kapuze, durch Wind, durch Was-Auch-Immer durcheinander gebracht worden sein, dann lässt sich dies jederzeit schnell und einfach wieder herrichten durch das Durch-Die-Haare fahren.
3. Es hält bis zum nächsten Waschgang
4. Es ist UNGLAUBLICH ERGIEBIG! So eine Dose hält bei meiner Anwendungsart gute sechs Monate. Teilt man den Kaufpreis durch die Anzahl der Monate, so wird man feststellen, dass der Preis im Grunde gar nicht so hoch ist.

FAZIT: Ich hoffe, dieses Produkt wird es so lange geben, so lange ich zum Haarestylen in der Lage bin. Es ist für mich als Mann das bisher beste Stylingprodukt. Wenn es nach mir ginge, dann auch gerne 10-Sterne. Denn selten hat mich ein Kosmetikartikel so sehr überzeugt, wie dieses.

Wenn meine Rezension gefallen/geholfen hat, so hinterlasst mir doch bitte ein "Nützlich" :-)

Okay, I usually never leave reviews on any products that I have bought, but I couldn't resist not leaving one for this one.
I am in love with this product!

Pros:
The paste is easy to use
It smells amazing
Holds your hair steady for the whole day, even after rainfall or the gym.
It doesn't make you feel like your hair has anything it in.
Easy to brush your hands through and doesn't make it feel sticky

Cons:
Absolutely nothing!

Overall, probably the best hair styling product I've used in my life.
I highly recommend this!

Kay, byeeeeeee!

Just what I needed.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 August 2019

Verified Purchase

My hair is medium length so needed a firm hold wax. Ice tried a few since growing my hair and this one is my favourite so far. It's easy to apply and style and lasts all day, plus it washes off your hands without the need for soap. It's smells of chewing gum which is nice but could be a better scented.

Works very well on hair freshly dryed or damp out of the shower but doesnr have that much hold, I pair it with a texturising putty and it works very well to add extra definition

Best wax out there

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 December 2019

This is by far my favourite product to use. It doesn't smell too strong but does have a subtle, fresh scent to it. It holds very well and you only need only apply a very small amount - even with somewhat difficult hair like mine.

Love this stuff, I have thinning hair so can't use the wet greasy stuff, this gives a great hold but dry look. Combined with a hairspray, my comb over is fit for the gods

Smells great, costs a bit too much

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 January 2020

Verified Purchase

Decided to spend a bit more than I usually do for hair products and I wasn’t disappointed. It’s holds well and doesn’t look greasy. It smells great and just a little pea size goes along way. The only negative is that it’s a little pricey for the amount you get.

Strong hold with a natural finish

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 June 2016

Verified Purchase

I've been using this product for years. It leaves the hair looking natural, yet holds firm. It has a relatively nice neutral smell, and washes off hands easily after application. If you travel regularly, you'll also be pleased that the shape lends itself well to going through airport security, which makes a nice change compared to competing tall product bottles you can get from salons.

The price here on Amazon is a bargain.
