American Crew Matt Clay | The Most Fabulous Natural Haircut

American crew Matt Clay is one of men's hair care products. American crew surprisingly is a great salon and also a product supplier which has been established for men grooming only.

It's very normal to speak about skin, hair, body care products for women as we know women's tendency to look attractive is endless. So it makes sense that all cosmetic foundations and companies put women in the first place. They consider them as VIP customers in comparison with men.

David Raccuglia, the founder of the American crew had a different, unusual, creative vision. In 1994 he was just a stylist, he had a preconception that in the upcoming days' men will care remarkably about their look and that was the spark that pushed him to create a new foundation especially for men grooming.

Nowadays prescribing  that American crew brand as a great product with high quality is a gross understatement.

How to choose the right and most suitable hair product?

Before speaking specifically about  American crew matte clay,  I think it is good for you to know how to choose your hair product.

First, there are four characteristics of hair products: 

1. Degree of shine

2. Hold-power: duration of keeping the hair in style 

3. Consistency 

4. Ingredient 

I will concentrate on the first two characteristics: the degree of shine and hold-power because according to them the hair products are classified.

Hair product classification:

1. Pomade: 

• Shining: medium-high

• Hold-power: medium-strong 

• To sum up, any hair product can end with a pomade to describe the shining character of it and there are oil-based and water-based pomades 

2. Clay: 

• To say a real clay product must contain clay ingredients as (kaolin, bentonite, or a mix of them)

• It is relatively recent on the market but it becomes very common for men grooming 

• Shining: it does not shine it gives the hair matt natural look 

• Hold-power: medium 

3. Paste: 

• Universal hair product

• It fits any hairstyle and hair type 

• Shining: low-medium

• Hold-power: medium-strong 

4. Gel: 

• Shining: high

• Hold-power: high

• It may give hair too shining look

• The hair loses its natural look and becomes very stiff 

Let's now get onto the American crew matte clay:
