How to Use
Using American Crew Whip correctly ensures optimal results and client satisfaction. Follow these steps for professional application during a styling or barbering service.
- Start with clean, towel-dried hair (or dry hair for a less structured look).
- Scoop a small amount of product—roughly the size of a dime or a pea—from the jar.
- Rub the product between your palms to warm it and activate the whip texture.
- Distribute evenly through the hair, starting at the back and working to the front.
- Use fingers or a comb to shape the desired style, focusing on the crown and top for volume.
- For added control, apply a second smaller amount to flyaways or the hairline.
- Allow the hair to air-dry or finish with a diffuser for a softer, more voluminous effect.
- Rework the style as needed with fingers; reapplication is not normally required for touch-ups.

Pro Tips
Getting the most out of American Crew Whip requires a bit of tactical know-how. Here are professional tips to elevate your service and your results.
- Use on damp hair for a more structured hold; use on dry hair for a softer, more undone look.
- Do not use too much product—a little goes a long way with the whip texture.
- Combine with a finishing spray for clients who need extended hold without sacrificing the natural shine.
- Applying to the hands first and then to the hair prevents clumping and ensures even distribution.
- For a halo effect, apply only to the top third of the hair and leave the sides and back natural.
