bbbradk's Full Review: American Crew Daily Moisturizing Shampoo 15.2oz
For many years I had been THE lowest maintenance hair washer ever. I never put any thought into what brand I was using. For the most part I just kept an eye out for anything that was a two in one shampoo/conditioner, and was on sale.
How I discovered it Wasn't until a hairdresser asked me what I used during a haircut that I ever even thought about it. When I told them I was a big fan of the two in one they recoiled in horror (ok maybe those were strong words, but I was told in no uncertain terms I was making a bad choice.)
It was explained to me that most of the generic shampoos primary ingredient was wax, and that by continuing to use them I was building up a good layer of said wax on my hair. So while it was shiny and easy to manage, it was not at all good for my hair, and would end up damaging it in the long run.
I figured that the pitch was about to start for some ridiculously expensive hair tonic, but was pleasantly surprised when American Crew was recommended, the price was only slightly higher than the generic brands I had been buying, and it was much better for my hair.
What is in it? Rather than waxes and chemicals, American Crew contains wheat protein, sage extract, and rice bean oil.
So it has a bunch of things in it that sound much healthier than the generic brands, but does it work?
It sure does, since I began using it, my hair has felt cleaner and lighter, and I don't even need a conditioner anymore. On top of that it smells great, some of the generic brands would leave behind a floral scent, but American Crew leaves a nice masculine scent.
Availability I pay around $10.00 a bottle, and one bottle will last me at least two months, so as I said it costs a little more than the generic brands, but the benefits are very evident. Most salons or beauty supply shops carry this brand, it is hard to find at large chains (Walmart etc) I am happy to recommend this product to any male friends.
