American Crew: The Do-It-All Haircare Brand for Men

If there’s one brand that’s cemented itself as a go-to for Kiwi men, it’s American Crew.

Short hair, long hair, curls, waves, beards, styling - whatever you’re working with, there’s an American Crew product built to sort it out without overcomplicating your routine.

And that’s the thing men love most about this brand: simple, reliable solutions that just work.

No ten-step systems. No niche products you’ll use once then forget about. Just high-quality grooming basics designed to cover pretty much every hair and beard need you can think of.

We're gonna tell you why this all-star brand should feature on your shower shelf - and how to choose the right products for your hair, scalp and beard.

How American Crew Does It All

American Crew built its name on one simple promise: grooming shouldn’t be complicated.

And that’s exactly why it’s become the brand Kiwi men rely on. It doesn’t matter if you’re dealing with dryness, oiliness, rough texture, beard itch or hair that never behaves - there’s an American Crew product designed to sort it without adding unnecessary steps.

One of the biggest reasons American Crew stands out is that every formula is designed with men’s hair, scalp and facial hair in mind.

Men’s hair tends to be thicker at the strand but oilier at the root. Men also wash more frequently, use more gel- or clay-based styling products, and deal with facial hair that’s coarser and more textured than the hair on their head.

Crew gets all of this - and formulates accordingly.

The result is products that tick multiple boxes at once.

Shampoos that cleanse without stripping.
Conditioners that soften without weighing hair down.
Styling products that hold, shape and define without flaking.
Beard care that hydrates both the hair and the skin underneath.

And while plenty of brands have great standalone products, American Crew’s real strength is how well the entire range works together. You can mix and match for your hair type, switch between styling finishes, or keep it as simple as a one-product routine - and you’ll still get clean, consistent results.

If you want grooming that fits your life instead of complicating it, Crew is the brand that delivers.

Haircare That Covers the Basics (and then some)

American Crew’s haircare range works because it keeps things simple. No clutter, no complicated systems - just a tight lineup that covers common culprits and everyday needs: clean hair, a comfortable scalp and hydration that doesn’t weigh things down.

Every formula is built with the way men wash, sweat, train and style in mind. The result is a set of products that multitask naturally, making your routine feel easier instead of longer. Here’s what makes Crew’s haircare such a solid all-rounder.

Daily Cleansing That Doesn’t Strip Your Hair

Most men wash their hair more often than they realise - after the gym, after work, after sport, or simply out of habit. Crew’s cleansing shampoos are designed for exactly that.

American Crew Daily Cleansing Shampoo gives you a proper clean after sweat, sunscreen and styling products, but still leaves your hair feeling soft and your scalp comfortable.
Pair it with American Crew Daily Moisture Conditioner for added softness and slip, especially if your hair gets knotty or coarse.

This combo is the foundation of a lot of men’s routines for a reason: reliable, balanced and fuss-free.

Built-In Scalp Support

Crew also understands that scalp issues are common - flakiness, dryness, itch, irritation - especially in summer or for men who wear hats or helmets.

That’s where American Crew Anti-Dandruff + Dry Scalp Shampoo shines.

It cleans, calms and resets the scalp without feeling medicinal or overly harsh, making it an easy “set and forget” solution when your scalp needs a bit more care.

Lightweight Hydration That Works for Short Hair Too

Plenty of men skip conditioner because it makes their hair feel heavy. Crew’s formulas are designed to hydrate without the weight.

The Daily Moisture Conditioner is smooth, softening and lightweight - perfect for short hair, longer hair and anything in between. It’s also one of those products you don’t fully appreciate until you stop using it and realise your hair is suddenly harder to manage.

The Multitaskers: Crew's Real MVP Products

The best example of Crew’s “do-it-all” approach is the 3-in-1 Tea Tree Wash - shampoo, conditioner and body wash in one. It’s ideal for the gym bag, travel, camping trips or anyone who wants their routine as streamlined as possible.

But even the more traditional products in the range are built with versatility in mind. Crew’s shampoos cleanse thoroughly enough for daily use, conditioners soften without heaviness, and everything fits into a routine without adding complexity. It’s practical grooming - the kind men actually stick to.

Crew for The Beard

One of the biggest strengths of American Crew is that their beard products are designed to look after both the beard hair and the skin underneath.

And Crew’s beard care isn’t just for big, full beards.

Short stubble? Patchy early growth? A neatly shaped medium-length beard? Everything in the range works across all stages of growth because the goal is the same: keep the hair soft and the skin underneath comfortable.

That’s exactly why American Crew stands out - their beard care feels tailored without being complicated.

Beard Hydration Without the Residue

Hydration is the foundation of a healthy beard - even short stubble benefits from it. But no one wants something oily or shiny sitting on the skin.

Crew’s approach? Lightweight, quick-absorbing formulas that soften the hair while calming the skin underneath.

American Crew 2-in-1 Skin Moisturiser & Beard Conditioner softens beard hair, hydrates the skin and absorbs fast. Zero heaviness, zero shine - just comfort.

Softening Coarse or Textured Beards

Coarse beard hair is incredibly common, especially for men with curl or natural texture. Crew’s beard products make that hair easier to shape and kinder to your skin.

American Crew Beard Serum is a lightweight softening serum that helps tame coarse, wiry hair and adds a natural, healthy-looking sheen.

This is the sort of product most men don’t realise they need until they use it once!

Style with Crew, Too!

When we said American Crew does it all, we meant it.

Crew built its reputation in barbershops, and it shows - every product has a clear purpose, behaves the way it says it will, and works across multiple hair types and lengths. Their styling collection is no different.

The biggest strength of Crew’s styling lineup is that you don’t have to guess. Matte or shine, strong hold or flexible movement, texture or smoothness - everything is straightforward, easy to apply and easy to rework through the day.

For guys who want their hair to look styled but not styled, Crew’s matte products are the MVPs. They add grip, definition and a thicker-looking finish without shine or stiffness - ideal for short to medium lengths.

American Crew Fiber - matte, firm, and great for adding natural-looking thickness.
American Crew Defining Paste - slightly softer, still matte, perfect for everyday shaping.
American Crew Fiber Cream - flexible, lightweight texture with a soft feel.

These are the products men try once and then stick with for years.

Just the Right Amount of Hold

If you like your hair to move, breathe and look effortless (not slick or crunchy), Crew’s cream-based stylers are where it’s at.

But classic, polished styling is where Crew started, and they still do it exceptionally well. If you want a sharper finish, a bit more control or a style that stays put all day, Crew has you covered.

Your hair, your choice - no matter what you need, Crew will deliver.

American Crew Forming Cream - the go-to for easy, clean, natural-looking hair. Works across most hair types and gives enough hold to keep things tidy without locking your style in place.
American Crew Firm Hold Styling Gel - strong hold, high shine, and great for structured or slicked-back looks.
American Crew Pomade - a traditional barbershop finish with modern performance.

Try American Crew's All-Rounder Range

American Crew isn’t a brand that tries to be everything to everyone - it’s a brand that understands men and builds products that make everyday grooming easier.

Add it all together and you get a brand that genuinely does it all - without asking you to overhaul your routine or learn a dozen new steps.

If you’re building a simple, effective grooming routine that fits into your life (and actually makes a difference), American Crew deserves a permanent spot on your shower shelf.
