Must-Have Products for Men’s Hair and Beard: American Crew and More

At Elevate Style Lounge, we believe a great look doesn’t end with a fresh haircut. The daily care you give your hair and beard makes all the difference. That’s why we created this must-have product guide to help you keep your style sharp between visits.

1. Pre-Styling Shampoos: The Foundation for a Perfect Style

The new American Crew Pre-Styling Shampoos are designed to prep your hair before styling. They cleanse, add body, and make styling easier and longer-lasting.

  • Recommended for: All hair types.

  • Benefits: Clean, healthy, and manageable hair with extra volume.

  • Pro tip: Massage into the scalp, rinse thoroughly, and follow with your favorite styling product.

2. American Crew Fiber: Strong Hold with Matte Finish

If you want high hold with no shine, Fiber is your go-to. Perfect for modern cuts like the Low Taper Fade or any textured hairstyle.

  • Recommended for: Short to medium-length hair, structured styles.

  • Benefits: Texture, thickness, and a natural look.

  • Pro tip: Warm a small amount in your hands and work through dry or slightly damp hair.

3. Boost Powder: Instant Volume

Boost Powder is the secret weapon for guys looking for extra volume without weighing the hair down.

  • Recommended for: Fine hair or styles that need height, like quiffs or textured crops.

  • Benefits: Lightweight, flexible, and matte finish.

  • Pro tip: Sprinkle directly at the roots of dry hair and massage in for instant lift.

4. Forming Cream: Classic and Versatile

For those who want a polished but natural look, Forming Cream delivers medium hold and a light shine. Perfect for styles like the Slick Back or classic side parts.

5. Beard Balm & Beard Oil: Complete Beard Care

Your beard deserves the same care as your hair. Beard oils and balms hydrate, soften, and shape the beard while keeping it healthy and frizz-free.
