Check out these guy-tested shampoos that are right for your hair, no matter what kind of hair you have.

I have never understood why many guys think it’s okay to research which razor is best for shaving, but they would never think about doing homework on which shampoo works for them.
(It’s because razors can be used as deadly weapons. Obviously. —Ed.)
You need good hair. Women like guys with hair — and not just hair, but hair that looks and smells good.
So I’m going to make it easy for you with a straightforward countdown of the best shampoos for guys. (Be sure to take note of the kind that’s best for your hair type.) If you just read this once and make your choice, you’ll be able to mindlessly buy the same shampoo for the rest of your life…unless, of course, you go bald.

You need a shampoo that contains DHT inhibitors; DHT is the hormone that triggers hair loss. This one contains plankton-derived laminarghane, which jacks up DHT, as well as pentapeptides that help make hair appear fuller. You won’t notice results overnight, but over time it’ll make a difference.

Your hair needs intense moisture, and this shampoo contains lots of natural hydrating ingredients like lavender, nettle, and marigold. It’s also free of detergents that strip your hair of its natural oil. And only shampoo your hair every three to seven days.

Colored hair can look fried because of all the chemicals. So you should look for the ingredient like poly-DADMAC, a powerful polymer that repairs hair. Use warm (not hot, not cold) water when showering; it opens the cuticle (the hair’s outermost layer) to allow the shampoo to be absorbed all the way to the core.
