Hello and welcome to my 25th review on Ciao.
American Crew is part of the many Carter and Bond range of products. The product range is quite select and also more expensive than your usual brand of say Head and Shoulders or Elvive, but the question has to be asked in the best L'Oreal fashion… is it worth it?
Let's have some fun and travel with me on a journey of discovery and find out shall we….
---The Company---
Until recently, when I was given a bottle of American Crew as a Christmas present, I never had a 'Scooby' as to who they were as I had never heard of them at all. Shame on me!!
Carter and Bond are a relatively new company as they were only established 5 years ago. With the more recent upward trend in male grooming the company boasts a number of ranges not only for men who moisturise but also caters for women with an extensive range.
---The Product---
The product comes in a light brown slightly opaque standard shaped shampoo container, slightly reminiscent in colour of 1970's Dunhill aftershave bottle because of the shade. 250ml is not that big really for what you pay and to be honest for the money I expected a bit more. Thankfully a normal flip cap on the top which means an easy application is achievable. From the style and fashion of the branding it is easily identifiable as American Crew. This is for two reasons, most notably no one else has such a design, so one that side it is original and also the shades of brown are quite eye catching, and when seen it is immediately identifiable as American Crew.
---Availability---
The American Crew product range is not available through your local corner shop at all, and is not available in such places as Tesco's or Sainsbury's. In fact it can only be purchased through specialist's salons and barbers. What I have started doing is to purchase direct from the Carter and Bond website. One thing that has surprised me is that the company allows orders to be picked up from their London site and welcomes this as a way of the customer saving postage and packaging, not something that is really advertised by other companies and in today's ' Be Green' climate is something that could be questioned as non-ethical. Okay I suppose if you work local then it does make a lot of sense.
At £6.45 for 250ml and £9.95 for 450ml it is on the expensive side, but compared to some of the other shampoos that are in the range this can be considered a slightly cheaper buy from the range.
---Quality---
When the shampoo is poured into one's hand and used, not only is the texture a nice sensation of the silky smooth lotion, but also the quite strong but not over powering fragrance of the shampoo itself.
Daily Moisturizing comes in a fragrance of what as a bloke I call blossom as the fragrance reminded of quite literally blossom. In reality it is extracts of Rosemary and Sage. This had the really quite wonderful effect of not only making my entire bathroom smell like a country garden but also the desired effect of leaving my head tingling, which at 6.30 am is a very pleasant way to start the day. This was mainly down to the oils and wheat germ the shampoo contains. As long as your hair is wet when applied, it foams up perfectly and most importantly quickly and doesn't sting compared to Head and Shoulders when it is mistakenly allowed into any available eye socket going.
After I dried my hair, I found it was really was in a different and a lot better condition than before. It didn't feel dry; there was absolutely no frizyness at all. This really surprised me as I expected something at completely the other end of the spectrum when towel drying my hair to what I was going through at the time.
The big advantage for me was that my hair was in a perfect condition to be manipulated into the style I wanted. I used less wax than before to obtain the desired effect and as a further bonus was able to style quicker as well. Even dry it had sheen to it and as I have relatively short hair this was a bonus.
--Overall---
From the size of the bottle I was at first a bit apprehensive about the value it added, using it once a day I managed to get about 3 weeks worth of hair washing. The best thing being that a little quite literally does go a long way with this stuff and you don't need much more than a blob the size of a 10p piece being rubbed in your scalp to start the party off. Not bad really but considering by the end I was literally squeezing the bottle for all I was worth as I wanted so badly to get every single drop out to use. That says a lot.
Yes it is dearer than other brands, but overall I would say that the quality and effect that this could have on your hair by far outweighs the price if used in small amounts.
Without sounding like an advert as someone who has to look the part for his job, I need to be presentable and look fresh every day. With this it not helps you wake up in the morning but also makes your hair look great and as hair seems to be one of the first things that people can judge you on, it's not a bad start at all.
So the shampoo has been tested, now let's make way for the hair paste and also the skin care line. I think that it's safe to say that I have been converted to a new line… why? Simple because to quote L'Oreal, it's because I'm worth it!
---Suppliers---
I hae updated this review to show a list of suppliers that American Crew can be purchased from.
Jack's of London is a barbers chain with barber shops based in Wimbledon, Kingston, Guildford and Birmingham. There website is useful as it shows new stores opening up.
Trade Secrets is a nationwide chain of shops that sell over 150 different hair products. Not only do they sell American Crew products but also the American Crew Mint range as well.
As mentioned above the products can be ordered direct as well.
Until next time, thanks for reading and take care.

American Crew :~
As the name suggests American Crew started in America in 1994 and have grown into an international brand. They aim their products at men but my wife also likes this product.
My hair has been getting drier as i have got older, does not help that i use anything to wash my hair, including body wash so when the wife decided to order some GHD straighteners from Jason Shankey ... ...5ml sample once of the American Crew face Scrub thought that was very good so decided to take the plunge and try other products from American Crew.
Packaging :~
For that princely fee of £6.60 you get a 275ml bottle that i must admit looks rather expensive and it is, OK that's the last moan about the price.
The bottle is a semi transparent amber brown which is good as you can see how much you have left, so you can start saving up before it runs ...

Advantages: Great for sensitive skin. Disadvantages: quite expensive.
...close inspection I saw that American crew was a company for male grooming. So without hesitation I took the sachets and that was it. I was fixed on a new shampoo.
I am not a fussy person. I now have long hair but I normally don't use separate shampoos and products to make it look nice. I don't brush it or dry it so a shampoo like this would seem a weird choice for someone like me. But I do have very sensitive skin and am prone to lots of skin problems. ... ...face etc.
-American Crew-
American crew as you can guess is American. They have recognised that there is a big market for male grooming opening in the market now as lots more men are concerned about there appearance. They have also realised that there aren't lots of company's doing male grooming so have came out with a whole range of products. Since the market for male grooming products is growing more and more company's are coming out with male ...

American Crew Daily Moisturising Shampoo
My son brought this product online from buyamericancewe.co.uk on the recommendation of his hairdresser. He has over the years added lots of colours and chemicals to his hair, as a lot of students do, but it was beginning to take its toll on the quality of his hair, as it was starting to dry out and become brittle, giving quite an unruly effect to his hair.
After spending a short time on line, he soon learned ... ...a case of you get what you pay for, and in American Crewe goods you really are buying quality.
This Shampoo is predominately aimed at the male market, but I cannot see any reason why Women shouldn't use it either.
Give a try, you really will feel the difference. ...

...made you decide to use American Crewe Shampoo?
Lizkempo's Brother: Well Lizzie I had heard from a friend that this shampoo was a good one for men so I decided to give it a go. They have many different shampoos to chose from but as I have long hair and like to wash it every day I decided to go for the daily use shampoo. Likempo: Can describe the shampoo for me?
Lizkempo's Brother: eh? It's shampoo what do you want me to say? Lizkempo: Well this ... ...Crew logo in the middle. I am also pleased to add that this product was not tested on animals!

Advantages: Your hair will think you have won the lottery Disadvantages: You haven't won the lottery.......back to good ol' head and shoulders
ok enoughs enough, American Crew is a male grooming company who specialise in hair care. Now I'm not an expert when it comes to shampoo's but have a little read about this:
Containing panama bark extract for natural cleansing, wheat protein for added shine and strength, and rosemary and thyme extracts that tone and moisturise the scalp, this daily shampoo is excellent for gentle cleansing and conditioning.
I'm confused? am I cooking my head or ... ...it still does what 1000 other much cheaper brands do.....clean your hair!
Please save you money.....unless your rich, in which case buy it, I will get immense joy in watching you, quite literally wash you money down the plug hole.
Sorry American Crew, but your not for me ...
