Can I use these products in children ?

I wouldn't suggest using this product "in" children. Although I don't see a problem with using it "on" their hair...

Can you wash this only with water or you need to use shampoo?

It washes out with quite a bit of water so I would suggest a mild shampoo if you use a significant amount of this product in your hair. As an alternative, you can skip the shampoo and use conditioner on damp hair with a rinse after to clean most if not all of it out. I have thinning hair myself and have found this alternative to work quite well instead of using shampoo every day which strips your hair to some degree.

I have thick wavy medium length hair. Will this work to keep it back?

I'm not sure what you mean by "keep it back". What it does for me is gives me lots of body. I have very baby-fine hair, so that's why I use it. If you already have thick wavy hair, I don't think you'll want to use this.

American crew: bought 2 containers of forming cream. clearly different contents. one is like hand lotion. counterfeit? or new formula? it's horrible.

Umm yah that’s fine. When you put on your hair add a little bit water mix it in your hand and then put it on your hair

Risultato impeccabile, consiglio vivamente

Cercavo un modo per modellare i miei capelli di lunghezza media ma che non fosse appiccicoso e lasciasse un effetto naturale. Questa crema non appiccica ed è opaca. Una volta applicata mantiene ordine in modo invisibile. Dura tutta la giornata. Davvero una bella scoperta che mi sento di consigliare a chi ha rose ingestibili ed odia i prodotti lucidi ed appiccicosi

Excellent Product!

I've tried multiple hair products, this one is the best by far. It has a nice medium hold, which is great if you are like me and you don't want other people to think you put way too much effort into your hair. It has a nice manly smell to it and makes your hair super shiny. If your hairstyle is similar to an undercut (google it) then this product is for you. Please note that I almost never write product reviews but this one well deserves it.
