Men's Hair Forming Cream by American Crew, Like Hair Gel with Medium Hold with Medium Shine, 3 Oz (Pack of 1)

UPDATE: *Five years after having written this review, I've found both the cause and solution to my irritable, easily inflamed, flaky scalp. My scalp cannot handle anything foamy. Turns out my skin can't either, so I've stopped using anything that foams on my scalp and skin. It's just too drying. I'm also hyper-sensitive to dimethicone, so I avoid that, too. I now wash my hair with conditioner ("co-washing," as it's often called.) My husband has the same issue with his scalp and kept going to the dermatologist for prescription shampoos, which didn't help in the long run, and his problem has been solved by co-washing, too. I still get flare-ups (especially in winter) so I keep products like this one around. But for the most part, the battle has been won.*I have suffered from a dry, flaky, itchy scalp all of my adult life. If you have the same problem, like me, you've probably tried everything you can get your hands on to cure it.I've tried dandruff shampoos but they made things worse - because I don't have dandruff, and because most contain SLS, which my scalp (and skin) is highly reactive to. I've tried shampoos with salicylic acid and they did not help. Tea Tree Oil does nothing for me, nor do products with mint, eucalyptus or apple cider. I've used scalp conditioners, sera, rinses, masks, you-name-it, and none solved the problem.I have found a few things that do help. First, I stopped using any products with SLS or other Lauryl/Laurate deriviatives, and turned into a major label-reader. Just making this adjustment solved about 80% of the problem.However, I still have flare-ups (they're worse in winter) that need to be treated. I found 1 shampoo that was nothing short of miraculous until it was discontinued, then a replacement, which eventually disappeared, too. Then I found this. It's been life-changing, really, and I always have it in my arsenal.I use it in 2 different ways: For minor flare-ups or as a preventative I mix it with my conditioner (about 20 drops total for my entire scalp.) I apply it as closely to my scalp as I can get and concentrate on problem areas. I rub it into my scalp best I can, then leave it on for 10-20 minutes while I shower. (You can apply it directly to your scalp but I find that hard to do when my hair is wet, since I can't really feel where it's going. It also takes longer to do it this way.)For major flare-ups I apply it directly to my scalp at night and wash it out the following day. This is really, really effective, both immediately and for the next few days. In the winter I do this every 1-2 weeks or so. It's a bit messy and time consuming but worth it. This method also fills my bedroom with the product's herbal scent, which lingers as it necessarily gets absorbed into my pillow as I sleep. I rather like the smell, though, so that's not much of a problem and it does wash out.One commonality between all 3 products that have worked for me is a high concentration of rosemary and sage, so I'm rather convinced that those are the 2 miracle-workers for me. (I've even steeped rosemary in boiling water and dumped it over my head in a fit of desperation - it felt really good :) This oil does have a very strong herbal smell (think essential oils/tinctures or Aveda products) which judging by reviews, some people have a real objection to. I barely notice it myself and my husband's come to like it.I might add that I occasionally use Giovanni Wellness System Shampoo with Chinese Botanicals and this works for immediate relief and is certainly easier to use than Phytopolleine. However, it strips the crap out of my hair so I only use it when I don't have time to do the Phyto routine. There is also a scalp serum in the same Giovanni line that I wouldn't recommend. It has a very strange texture, and combined with the packaging is impossible to get directly onto your scalp. I also needed to use so much of it that I only got a couple of uses out of the bottle.

This product does exactly what it claims:It will regulate your scalp, if you have dandruff of dry scalp it would be gone. However, they two times I used this product I got a horrible headache from the God awful smell this product had. I still have some left and I'm not sure I'd be using it again at the rik of getting another headache. If you are not as sensitive as I am to smells I would recommend this product because it works really well.

I already have thick healthy hair so I did not need this product.. I do use Phyto elixir subtle oil on my ends as a pre shampoo. Phyto elixir and this product together as a once a week treatment will be your secret weapon to amazing hair. Both products leave zero residue on my fine yet thick color treated wavy hair.This product kicks your hair up a notch in bounce, health and shine. I think it would be great for dry, color treated or menopuasal hair.

With the advent of all the scalp treatments out there this has been a tried and true for me. I have very thick hair and sebhorreic dermatitis on my scalp. So I mix a small amount of this into my shampoo. I also add a few drops of tea tree oil. This keeps my scalp fresh, and free of bumps or itch. This product works wonders for any itchiness between wash days when applied directly to the scalp before bedtime. It does have a fresh smell of rosemary and peppermint essential oils. I like it but if you don’t care for that kind of thing it may not be for you.

I had a lot of built up products stuck on my scalp because I use dry shampoo and hair spray on a regular basis. I had a really bad dandruff problem and itchiness and my hair dresser suggested this product. At first, you put it on and massage your scalp and wait 20 minutes. It has a very strong minty smell. I have to say that it literally stink up my studio apartment. Once I washed my hair, the smell was still strong until after a couple days it disappeared. But it DID WORK MARVELOUSLY. It made the built up on my scalp detached. After that, it increased my dandruff problem so I would use this product paired with Phyto Intense dandruff shampoo. Thats what I did and got rid of my problem! So really great product and I recommend it to everyone.

I will try my best to be short and sweet in this review:The bottle opening is a small tip (akin to a bottle of tacky glue, or like a mini-diner-ketchup-bottle) and this is what makes part of this so awesome. I have very thick very curly hair and more often than not its really difficult to get treatments on the spots I need them most. The thin tipped nozzle on this baby really helps. I was able to get even distribution in a cinch.The smell is not bad. Contrary to what I read the smell is not very strong or lasting. You may not like the scent if you do not like more natural smells, or the smells of such oils as camphor, eucalyptus, and mint. The closest comparison I can think of is tiger balm, but even then, its not nearly as strong as that. The smell (for me at least) went away after washing it off.This treatment helps. I've used it twice and already I feel a lot more relief and my scalp was clear for two days (which is actually a long time for me)The price is high, but for how many uses you'll get it's worth it. You don't use much per usage and the tip applicator means no waste. Just don't store the bottle on its side.Did I mention that it arrived a whole 5 days before I expected?5/5 stars: this product is a great alternative to harsh chemicals and prescriptions, smells great (IMO) and is of good value.

J'ai entendu beaucoup de bien de ce produit pour la pousse et la qualité des cheveux. Je viens juste de le recevoir, je modifierai donc mon commentaire après quelques semaines/mois d'utilisation pour attester de l'efficacité, mais j'ai très confiance en cette marque, je prends déjà des compléments alimentaires à la levure de bière de la même marque et ils sont super ! J'ai mesuré une mèche de cheveux juste avant de commencer l'utilisation pour pouvoir donner des données précises ;) je mesure régulièrement ma pousse pour la surveiller et mes cheveux poussent d'1cm par mois, on va bien voir si ça augmente !Edit : finalement j'ai coupé mes cheveux très court, mais ce produit leur donne de la densité et du volume, beaucoup de douceur et de brillance également, et la pousse est clairement stimulée, j'estime la pousse à au mois 3 cm voire 4, en 2 mois. Seul inconvénient, très petit format !
