{"product_id":"american-crew-defining-paste-medium-hold-b002cmvu7q","title":"American Crew Defining Paste for Men, Medium Hold, Low Shine, 3 oz","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmerican Crew Defining Paste is a medium-hold styling paste for men who want texture and definition without a glossy finish. It goes on dry or towel-dried hair, calms frizz and leaves a natural, pliable result. Packaged in a 3 oz jar, it suits anyone after loose, texturized definition rather than a stiff, slicked style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat kind of hold and finish does this paste give?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMedium hold, low shine. American Crew rates this paste at medium hold with a low-shine finish, aimed at a texturized, defined hairstyle. Medium hold sits between a light cream and a firm gel: enough to shape a look and keep it through the day, with a finish that stays natural and flexible. It is built for loose textured definition, frizz-free hair and a natural appearance rather than a rigid set. Work a small amount through dry or towel-dried hair, then style as you like.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eScent and texture\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe product data does not list a fragrance or a detailed texture description for this paste. What it does state is the finish: a low shine result and a natural, pliable hold. If scent matters to you, check the jar label before buying, since the listing does not specify it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat finish does this paste leave on men's hair?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLow shine. That is the finish named in the product data, paired with a natural look. It is not a wet-look or high-gloss product, so it reads as a subtle, groomed finish rather than a glossy one. The paste is also described as texturising, which points to separation and definition rather than a smooth, flat surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDoes this paste flake or leave a cast?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe data does not mention flaking or a cast, so the listing cannot confirm either way. What it does say is that the paste leaves a natural, pliable finish and tames frizz. Pliable suggests the hair stays movable rather than setting hard. For flake behavior, the jar label is the better guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat ingredients are listed in this paste?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe product data does not include an ingredient list for this paste, so no INCI names can be confirmed here.

Towel-dried hair tends to give a looser result, while dry hair keeps the definition tighter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this the current version of the paste?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The data identifies this as the previous version of the American Crew Defining Paste, and the brand states it cannot guarantee the quality of these older stock items.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep it on the shelf next to your comb for days when you want a looser, texturized finish rather than a firm set.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMERICAN CREW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49314916303031,"sku":null,"price":55.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/2818\/0663\/files\/31joeUCHHtL.jpg?v=1791403851","url":"https:\/\/skinhanok.com\/products\/american-crew-defining-paste-medium-hold-b002cmvu7q","provider":"Skinhanok","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
