BackgroundI’ve used almost every American Crew hair product and find most of them to be very good. I usually wash and condition my hair with a cheap shampoo and separate conditioner like Pantene or Treseme and wash my body with Dr. Bronner’s castille soap which has produced good results. My hair is pretty normal in terms of thickness and amount of oil. I used this 3-in-one product once for about a month and then again 3 years later for a couple of weeks. The first time I had a long undercut that I styled with a gel pomade (Prospectors) while the second time I had a short cut, an inch and a half at the longest, that I styled with American Crew Forming Cream, a product I’ve used countless other times with great results. On both occasions, this 3-in-one produced the same terrible results.ScentThe only positive thing I have to say about this product is that the scent is pretty good, though not amazing like the scent of some other American Crew products, notably the pomade and defining paste. It has a cologne scent somewhat similar to American Crew Forming Cream, but not as good since there is a slight chemical note. The scent is also very strong, at least twice as strong as the average shampoo. Some may like the strong scent. Personally, I would have preferred no or little scent so I could have wore cologne without distortion.Performance as a shampoo/conditionerAbsolutely terrible. The first time I used this product it made my hair feel like straw and produced split ends over time, signs that it was drying out my hair. It also made it painful to pull my hair back when styling or tying it with a band. 3 years later, I decided to try the product again since my hair was very short making hair health and split ends not much of an issue. After a week or two, my scalp became very itchy, something that never happens to me. Overall, this product is very drying and damaging to both hair and scalp.Performance as a body washEven worse than its performance as a shampoo/conditioner, which is almost impressive. This product leaves a film behind which is impossible to remove with just water and produces a slimy feel as you go about your day. My showers took about the same time using this product as when I used three separate products since I would spend so much time fruitlessly trying to rinse the product off.Further, it makes you sweat. The second time I used this stuff, I found that my armpits were getting really sweaty. As an experiment, I washed one of my armpits with Dr. Bronner’s and one with this product. The armpit I washed with this 3-in-one sweated significantly more.To make things even worse, this product made the skin in my ass crack burn and feel raw on a few occasions. This is also something that never usually happens.Final VerdictAmerican Crew makes some great products, but this one is absolutely terrible, and I suggest you not buy it. Some reviewers have suggested this product is counterfeit. For American Crew’s sake, I hope this is true. You will get far better results by using a common, cheap product like Pantene or Tresemme. I also once used a Suave 2-in-one shampoo/conditioner for men that worked good, had an alright scent, and was cheaper. So, you could look in that direction if you really want a 2-in-one or 3-in-one product with a masculine scent.Not sure why so many dudes here think this stuff smells so good. To me it smells rather androgynous. Having said that, it's very good soap from a functional standpoint. Because I don't care for the scent, I ended up giving my two dogs a bath with it. For that, it is 10 times better than any pet shampoo I've used before. It requires a small amount that goes a long way, and my pooches smell great. I just wouldn't personally consider this a very masculine scent. The regular body wash by American Crew smells more manly. Just my two scents there...get it?Love American Crew stuff and I should have stuck with the Classic shampoo/conditioner but thought I would try this combo out. It smells nice and lathers generously but I feel like it is drying my scalp out a bit. I have some dandruff now that their other products didn't do as much. Maybe it is the shampoo/conditioner combo instead of separates like I'm used to, but this stuff has definitely given me flakes.I would use it more for body wash than shampoo/conditioner at this point. I will go back the the Classic products or even try the Tea Tree shampoo next by American Crew. This one won't be purchased again. It has a nice mild scent though and leaves your hair soft and less greasy throughout the day. I just need to try something else for the flakage. Hope this helps.Great 3-1 I have used for awhile, for men I buy a body wash. A shampoo and a conditioner the body wash goes first then my shampoo is my body wash and shampoo when that is gone the conditioner is my only soap then when that's gone I buy new stuff, then I discovered the 3-1 and it saves a lot of little problems.Great product! Would have gave it 5 stars but when I received it one of the lids of one of the two bottles was loose and part of it spilled out.Good shampoo & conditioner. I like it because I have very fine hair which gets tangled and knotted when I towel it dry. The conditioner in this 3 in 1 shampoo eliminates nearly all of the tangles. Good Stuff.N-aWill deffinatly be purchasing this again, i bought it take an holiday with me to save taking two big bottles of shampoo and conditioner, i was a bit dubious about this at first, expecting my hair to feel dry and not conditioned but i was wrong! Now i dont think ill be going back to using anything else, my hair feels soft and healthy it also smells great! The one downside of this is that it dosnt last that long, only that i shampoo my hair every other day made it last a bit longer, also the odd tine i have used a bit of conditioner after using this because my hair felt a dry but this is rare. The product is perfect for holidays, gym bags or as an everyday product!Unfortunately, the bottle lid was not fitted properly and about 1/4 of the bottle leaked during transport.Other than this, the product is rather nice.Overall, I am only giving the rating 2/5 as it would have been nice to have a whole bottle of content.Really good shampoo but poorly packaged leaked all into plastic bagAbsolutely love this and would definitely buy again. Purchased for a holiday to save taking three things in the luggage. You need the tiniest amount which goes a long way, so really works out economical. It smells divine too.I'm usually put off buy multiple use items - but this will leave your hair feeling nicer than just supermarket shelf shampoo.Doesn't dry my skin out (like a lot of shower gels do).Smell is quite subtle.My first purchase at £4.45 was a bargain. Second at £4.99 - still great.It's currently listed at £8.99 - Which I will be much less inclined to pay!
