"Love it, great for holding my hair in place. " - Andrew

Why You’ll love it

Shape, restyle, and reshape your hair as many times as you like.

Touchable hold that stays soft, never stiff or crunchy.

Light mist with subtle shine for clean, polished styles.

Washes out easily, leaving no heavy build-up behind.

Description

American Crew Alternator is a flexible styling spray that gives workable hold with all-day control.

This lightweight, non-tacky mist lets you shape, restyle, and redefine your hair without stiffness. Spray onto damp or dry hair, then simply run your fingers through to refresh the look whenever you like.

The finish feels touchable and natural, with a subtle shine that never looks greasy. Hair feels soft, not crunchy, and rinses out easily with shampoo.

Ideal for short to medium styles, it suits anyone who wants control without the heavy, set-in-place feel of gel. Perfect for everyday styling, office days, or nights out when you might want to switch up your look.

You’re left with hair that feels light, moveable, and effortlessly put together.

Solvent

The water base that carries and dissolves the other ingredients in most products.

May suit
All hair and skin types.

Worth knowing
Almost always the first ingredient listed in water-based products.
VP/VA Copolymer Thickeners and stabilisers

Film-forming styling polymer

A film-forming polymer that helps provide hold, texture and style retention.

May suit
People looking for longer-lasting hold or improved definition in styling products.

Worth knowing
It is widely used in gels, mousses and sprays because it creates flexible, brushable hold. It can also help reduce frizz by forming a lightweight coating on the hair.
Propylene Glycol Humectants

Humectant

Helps hold moisture and carry other ingredients through the formula.

May suit
Most hair types as part of a moisturising formula.

Worth knowing
A widely used humectant and carrier ingredient.
Acrylates/Octylacrylamide Copolymer Thickeners and stabilisers

Styling polymer

A film-forming polymer that helps provide hold and shape in styling products.

May suit
People looking for longer-lasting style retention or humidity-resistant hold.

Worth knowing
This copolymer is widely used in gels, sprays and creams to create flexible or firm hold depending on the formula. It forms a light film on the hair that can help reduce frizz and improve style durability.
Aminomethyl Propanol pH adjusters

pH adjuster

Helps adjust and stabilise the pH of haircare formulations.

May suit
Those interested in how product pH affects hair and scalp feel may find its presence relevant.

Worth knowing
It is commonly used at low levels to help formulas stay effective and consistent. It does not act on the hair directly but supports the overall product performance.
Polysorbate 20 Thickeners and stabilisers

Solubiliser / emulsifier

Helps blend oil‑based ingredients into water‑based formulas for a smooth, even texture.

May suit
Those using products with essential oils or fragranced blends, as it helps disperse these evenly.

Worth knowing
It is widely used as a gentle solubiliser in both leave‑in and rinse‑off products. Its presence can improve product consistency and prevent ingredient separation.
PEG-12 Dimethicone Silicones

Silicone-based conditioning agent

A water-dispersible silicone that helps soften hair, add slip and reduce frizz.

May suit
People looking for smoother, easier-to-detangle hair without a heavy silicone feel.

Worth knowing
Because it is water-dispersible, it tends to rinse out more easily than many traditional silicones. It is commonly used in both rinse-off and leave-in formulas for added manageability.
Tetrasodium EDTA Chelating agents

Chelating agent

Helps bind metal ions in water to improve product stability and performance.

May suit
Those in hard-water areas who want shampoos and conditioners to rinse more cleanly.

Worth knowing

PPG-5-Ceteth-20 Cleansers / surfactants

Solubiliser / surfactant

A non-ionic surfactant that helps blend oil- and water-based ingredients and improve product texture.

May suit
Those using products that need lightweight cleansing or stable, uniform formulations.

Worth knowing
It is commonly used to solubilise fragrance oils and support smooth, consistent formulations. Its mild nature makes it suitable for a wide range of haircare products.
Diazolidinyl Urea Preservatives

Preservative

A preservative used to help keep haircare products stable and free from microbial growth.

May suit
