              Why American Crew Pomade?


              This is me when I become rich and famous 



              I started using American Crew on my hair a couple weeks ago. At first I wanted it because my friend told me that it would hold my hair like gel without making it as hard as cement. The first thought that popped into my head was that it would make it easier to comb my hair when its long; seeing as I go long periods of time without getting a haircut. The pomade is sold in salons across the country like Floyd's and Knockouts, and in select super markets. I chose this product because it is the newest toiletry I purchased.
