If you’ve got thick or long curls, you may find them difficult to tame with Forming Cream and may benefit from a product with a stronger hold. Hair creams specially formulated for long hair will most likely be too heavy for short hair and weigh the strands down, minimizing volume. Although Forming Cream is pretty versatile and would still work for long hair, it would usually be a better idea to use a product with a stronger hold.

This key ingredient is a natural UV protector and antioxidant that helps cell structure renewal inside the hair follicles. Forming Cream shouldn’t be bad for your hair as it is a relatively mild product with moisturizing and conditioning properties. Men with thick hair would be better off with a clay or pomade, depending on the level of shine they’re after. The brand's forming cream provides a medium hold with medium shine and is perfect for any dude who wants to keep his thick hair staying that way. Having said that, it’s always best to use the minimum amount of product to produce your desired result.

You can even combine the forming cream with your favorite pomade for a boosted hold that’s easier to distribute through the hair than pomade alone.

Although it does stick pretty quickly and dries pretty hard, you should still be able to run your fingers through it once it’s dried for restyling purposes.While Forming Cream would be fine, Pomade or American Crew Grooming Cream would generally be better for curly or wavy hair. Yet, one of the stand-out features of this product is its invigorating botanical scent which comes courtesy of its key ingredient, you guessed it; tea tree oil. As you scoop out the Forming Cream, you’ll notice that it has a buttery, creamy, and light consistency. Applying it to wet hair would be inappropriate considering it’s a water-based product and will wash out. Pomade has a slightly stronger level of hold than Forming Cream and would be better suited to keeping thick, long hair in check.
