For men who want every day to be a perfect hair day, American Crew has become a leader when it comes to supplying the right product. These three new pre-styling shampoos will definitely enhance the company’s reputation, as they cover multiple issues and aspects of men’s hair styling.

The goal is to cleanse the scalp and provide a solid foundation for the styling to come, and given the range of these products it’s worth exploring how they get results.

Fiber Pre-Style Shampoo

The first product we’ll examine is the Fiber Pre-Styling Shampoo. This cleanser is specially designed to strengthen hair from the inside and add touchable texture and strength. The result is stronger, more resilient hair strands, which in turn give the men who use it styling perfection when they combine it with the right American Crew Styling Puck.

Forming Pre-Style Shampoo

The second cleanser is called Forming Pre-Style Shampoo. To define the specific need here, it’s all about men who have curly hair. It’s based on a formula that’s free of sulfate surfactants to define and enhance curls and many other harmful ingredients. Instead, it hydrates, nourishes, and defines your curls without weighing down your hair.

It also cleanses without affecting the natural oils or the pattern of your curls, which gives your stylist a leg up when the real work of making you look great begins. You can even do that yourself, but either way, you can rest assured that it’s absolutely essential to provide texture for those with hair that’s prone to going frizzy or flat. If you have hair that craves definition and moisture, this is your product for sure.

Boost Pre-Style Shampoo

The third cleanser in this line does the opposite of the last one. It’s called Boost, and it provides volume and fullness. It’s a high performing, premium product that gives you balanced conditioning and body, and it provides lift in the process. If your hair is fine or flat and it needs a little lift, this cleanser gives you the boost your hair needs.

Use the right styling puck

Now, let’s discuss product pairs. Specifically, it’s about using the right style puck for the cleanser that best suits your needs. These pucks are the final ingredient for great-looking hair, and they basically make styling possible.

So how do they do that? For starters, they’re also formulated with essential and effective skincare ingredients that help balance the scalp biome of all men, regardless of the individual characteristics of their scalp and hair. The result is a perfect match to give you your ultimate look, so make sure you pick the right one so that you can have one great hair day after another.

The best place to find this array of products is on Amazon, and the American Crew website links to their Amazon availability as well. They’re priced reasonably at under $20.

The art of the summer scent: Smelling good in the heat with an expert
Person spraying cologne on their neck

I am a fan of a good scent. I write about cologne all the time and became a little obsessed with stacking fragrances and diving deep into the notes that build all my favorite scents. The top notes you smell right away, the heart notes that form the core of the fragrance, and the base notes that stick around the longest. As a matter of fact, Kevin Keller, co-founder of Fulton & Roark is who sent me down the obsessed path when he introduced me to the concept of stacking colognes a few years ago when I interviewed him for a different article on how to select the right cologne. So, now that summer is in full swing, I have been a little focused on what makes up a summer scent and how to keep it strong in the heat and humidity. So I reached out to Kevin and he hit me with some knowledge.

I don’t believe in hard seasonal rules. Fragrance is personal. If you love a dark, smoky scent, you should wear it, even in July. You might just want to go a touch lighter than you would in the winter months. – Kevin Keller, Co-Founder, Fulton & Roark

Dean Bell hits the road and talks men’s grooming
Adult, Male, Man

Dean Bell is a guy many people know from The Bachelor and The Bachelor in Paradise. He has since updated his image as an influencer searching for adventure. That search has led him to partner with Chevron this summer in celebration of the country’s 250th birthday. In addition to helping many drivers keep their engines in top shape this summer with his support of the gas, he is teaching us something he is adopting this season: Men’s grooming and skincare. As he gets a little older, he is figuring out, with the help of his wife (like most of us), the importance of taking care of his skin. But how is he doing that on the road this year? And how can we learn from his experience?

That’s what grooming is at the end of the day when it comes to skincare. You are basically keeping to your skin as youthful as you possibly can. – Dean Bell

Grooming is on its biggest stage with World Cup 2026
Ball, Football, Soccer

We don’t talk enough about men’s grooming. Skincare, haircare, nails, and teeth are all important for your personal appearance and overall health. Typically, we tend to put it on the back burner while we focus our time on things with a more measurable return on time investment. Sure, we used to get away with this because guys like John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, and Paul Newman were regarded as examples of the rugged male aesthetic that didn’t need the attention to moisturizing and conditioning. Nowadays, though, men like George Clooney and Brad Pitt are seen as sex symbols deep into their sixties, and it is largely thanks to skincare. Recently, if you have been watching the World Cup, you may have noticed a focus on the grooming marketing. That is because Unilever has launched its largest activation ever with a sponsorship of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The FIFA World Cup 2026™ will be the most socially connected and inclusive tournament in our history. Football today lives in real time, in culture and on social platforms – and this tournament is designed to be experienced, shaped and shared by fans wherever they are. – Romy Gai, Chief Business Officer, FIFA
