"One of the best hair styling products out there. Must try." - S.P. (Basic Maintenance Client)

 

This multi-tasking, triple threat hair styler moisturizes and hydrates, repairs and prevents damage, and provides a strong hold and subtle lustre throughout the day. Then it washes out with ease.

Active-packed with proteins, fatty acids, polyphenols and antioxidants, it's a topical-storm of hair-friendly activity that:

  • Moisturizes and hydrates.
  • Combats oxidative stress.
  • Adds volume and thickens hair shafts.
  • Controls frizz.
  • Restores lost proteins. 
  • Repairs damage and prevents breakage.

Medium hold. Medium shine. Maximum health.

Antioxidant. Anti-inflammatory. Antimicrobial. Antifungal.

No guys wants to wear a hair mask. But what's a leave-in product most do use? A styling one. 

We took all the nutritional benefits of our conditioner and jam-packed them into a water-based styling balm that coats your hair in a direct dose of strength-building nutrients throughout the course of the day.

  • Suitable for all hair types and conditions - this multi-restorative styling balm was formulated for anyone looking to make the most of their time - and their hair - with as little effort as possible.

This product was designed to be as versatile as you are.

  • Pick your shine. For a "dry" look, apply to dry hair. For a shinier look, apply to wet hair.
  • Pick your hold. More product = more hold.
  • Pick your look. For "messier" looks, use your hands. For "slicked" looks, use a comb.
  • Warm this product up in your fingertips by rubbing both sets of fingers together in counter-circular motions. It should be evenly distributed across the fingertips, and is now ready to apply. (You will repeat this process if you need more product).
  • Target the roots first. The base of the hair shaft is where you take control over your hairstyle, since that’s where you influence its direction.
  • Apply to whatever part of your head you want your hair styled.
  • Comb it through or massage it in.
  • Air dry or blow dry. A dryer increases the longevity of the hold and gives hair a lift, which can be useful if you want to perk it up a bit.
  • Wash it out with with ease. Completely water soluble.

Castor Oil

It's packed with antioxidants that fight signs of aging and bring back your skin's youthful look. With antimicrobial powers, it keeps acne and other skin infections at bay. It also soothes irritation from skin conditions like psoriasis and eczema thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties. Rich in Vitamin E, minerals, proteins, and essential fatty acids, Castor Oil deeply nourishes, ensuring your skin stays healthy and glowing. Perfect for enhancing your natural beauty and keeping your skin strong and clear.

Jojoba (Hair)

It's a versatile elixir rich in vitamins and minerals that profoundly nourish the hair and improve scalp health. Its unique composition closely resembles the sebum naturally produced by your body, enabling it to regulate oil production and maintain optimal moisture levels without weighing hair down. As a potent antioxidant and natural source of vitamin E, jojoba oil shields your hair from oxidative stress and environmental aggressors like UV rays and pollutants, effectively preventing breakage and split ends. Its anti-inflammatory and healing properties soothe the scalp, alleviating dryness, flaking, and itching, while treating common scalp issues such as psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis. Embrace the transformative benefits of jojoba oil for a healthier, more manageable mane that radiates with a natural shine.

Argan (Hair)

It's a powerhouse of nourishment for your hair, rich in antioxidants and fatty acids that protect against environmental damage and oxidative stress. It deeply moisturizes and nourishes, improving hair elasticity and restoring shine to dull, lifeless strands. Its occlusive properties seal in hydration and prevent damage from styling and external aggressors, ensuring your hair stays resilient. It soothes the scalp, reducing inflammation and treating conditions like psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis, which can lead to dandruff. Embrace Argan oil for a transformative hair care experience that leaves your hair luxuriously soft, shiny, and beautifully healthy.

Biotin

Also known as vitamin B7, its a vital nutrient for promoting healthy hair growth and preventing hair loss. It enhances the body’s keratin production, a protein essential for strong, healthy hair. It boosts hair growth by increasing the rate of follicle growth, leading to thicker, fuller hair. It strengthens hair by improving resilience, reducing breakage and shedding. It nourishes the scalp, improves scalp circulation, and provides a healthy environment for hair growth. Biotin-infused products enhance hair density and strengthen hair follicles. Regular use can make hair feel more nourished, thicker, and fuller, especially beneficial for those with thin or fine hair.

Panthenol

Also known as pro-vitamin B5, is a precursor of vitamin B5, essential for healthy hair and skin. It’s renowned for its moisturizing, soothing, and repairing properties. Benefits of Panthenol for Hair: Deep Moisturization: Panthenol hydrates hair deeply, leaving it soft, smooth, and manageable. Strengthens Hair: It binds to the hair surface, fortifying each strand and reducing damage from brushing and styling. Repairs Damage: Panthenol helps repair damaged hair, restoring its natural shine and vitality.

Panthenol-enriched haircare products deposit a protective layer on the hair shaft, improving hydration and elasticity. Regular use ensures healthier, shinier hair that feels stronger and looks more vibrant. Incorporating Panthenol into your haircare routine revitalizes and protects your hair, making it feel luxuriously soft and resilient. Whether your hair is dry, damaged, or just in need of extra care, Panthenol delivers noticeable results, enhancing your hair’s natural beauty.

Beeswax

A natural wax produced by honey bees, has been a staple in haircare for centuries due to its protective and nourishing properties. Benefits of Beeswax for Hair: Locks in Moisture: Beeswax helps seal in natural moisture, keeping hair hydrated and soft without a greasy residue. Enhances Shine and Smoothness: It provides a subtle shine and smooths hair, reducing frizz and flyaways. Promotes Hair Growth: Beeswax can support hair health and growth by protecting hair and improving its overall condition. Soothes Scalp Conditions: Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties help soothe scalp issues, contributing to healthier hair growth. Strengthens and Protects: Ideal for textured hair, beeswax adds weight and structure, making it perfect for styles like dreadlocks or sealing split ends. Beeswax-infused products create a protective barrier on hair strands, enhancing moisture retention, shine, and smoothness. Regular use helps maintain healthier, more manageable hair. Incorporating beeswax into your haircare routine offers a natural way to achieve radiant, healthy hair. Whether you need extra hydration, shine, or protection, beeswax delivers powerful benefits, leaving your hair looking and feeling its best.

Keratin

Hydrolyzed Keratin is a powerful hair treatment that works to strengthen and protect your hair. By penetrating the hair strand and filling microscopic gaps, it rebuilds the natural protective layer of your hair, increasing its diameter and giving it a fuller appearance. It not only reduces breakage but also minimizes the damaging effects of various factors like sun exposure and heat styling. T he result is hair that is stronger, softer, and more elastic, with reduced frizz and a healthy bounce.

My new go-to pomade

I've used a lot of different hair gels and pomades over the years. American Crew has been the one I use day-in, day-out until now. This one is easily my favourite. Works great, leaves no residue, and love that it has some added benefits, too.
