American Crew Firm vs. Light Hold Styling Gels
0:04
Hi, I'm Joost and I'm here with the American Crew Firm vs. Light Hold Styling Gels
0:10
These are both exactly the same tubes. One has Firm Hold and the other has Light Hold on it
0:16
And they both smell exactly the same so there's no difference here. So the difference is really in the hold and the shine
0:22
So the Firm Hold has a little bit more of a shine to it and also a little bit more crunchy
0:28
so this gets hard and crunchy in your hair while this is more of a soft texture and more
0:34
for like a messy look. So if you want to choose between these two, if you have a little bit longer hair and want
0:40
a messy look and it doesn't matter exactly how you want to position your hair then this
0:45
Light Hold is great. If you want a little bit more hold, a little bit more texture to it and your hair in a
0:52
really specific way, usually for a bit shorter hair and spiky hair, then this Firm Hold is
0:57
the one for you. So let's look at how to apply each in a little bit more detail
1:02
The American Crew Firm Hold Styling Gel. As you can see it holds my hair up pretty well
1:08
It doesn't have a lot of shine to it but just enough to make it like a little bit shiny
1:13
here and it smells, well, like standard gel products. Like a light sea breeze
1:20
And it's quite a standard looking gel tube. Although it is really really tall
1:24
This is extremely tall so you get a lot for your money here. And it is quite sticky
1:29
It is transparent and quite sticky but you can easily wash this off your hands
1:33
And what I like to do is rub this across my hands and I go through my hair and push it
1:38
a little inwards and upwards to make sure that there are no lumps in my hair but it's
1:42
evenly divided. And then I take just a little bit extra and do the back and sides of my hair again just
1:47
to make sure that it stays in place all day. Now this will get hard and crunchy just a little bit so it's best for those types of
1:54
hairstyles where you really want it to be a specific way. And I really recommend this for anyone who wants a heavy hold
2:00
The American Crew Light Hold Styling Gel. As you can see it holds my hair up quite well
2:08
Just a bit and it has just a little bit of shine. Nothing too much so it still looks natural and it smells, well, like standard hair products
2:17
Very refreshing. Maybe a little sea breezy. Now it looks like any other gel tube
2:22
It has a nice brown color but it's very, very tall. It's very large here
2:28
These are the products of two other brands. You can see that it's way taller than that
2:33
So that's pretty distinctive. Now I want you to open it. It's just like a little sticky
2:38
It's really like gel. Just a little sticky, nothing too much. You can easily wash this off your hands
2:44
And what I like to do is when I apply this I just take a little and push my hair up and
2:49
inward so it just is a little bit up. And then I just take a little bit extra and do the back and sides of my hair again
2:56
Just to make sure that it stays in place all day as well. Especially the back of my hair
3:00
Now this is great for a little messy out of bed look with not too much of a shine
3:05
And it works well on longer hair as well. If you just want it to look a little messy and fall into the right direction
3:13
So I really recommend this one for anyone looking for a light hold with not too much shine
