18 of the best men’s shampoos

*Editor’s Choice Review. About the selection criteria. This material is subjective, not an advertisement and is not a sales pitch. Before buying it you need to consult with a specialist.

Men used to use universal shampoos, as there were simply no separate lines. Later, when they appeared, many people did not pay attention to them, and in general, the choice was not taken seriously, buying the first product on the counter. But it was scientifically proved long ago that hair and skin of men are different from women’s, sebaceous glands of men work more actively, dandruff is more frequent, and the risk of male pattern baldness is higher. This is why choosing the right shampoo for a well-kept and healthy look.

Today, the most famous cosmetic brands develop and produce a wide range of products for men, which are aimed at solving specific problems. There are shampoos for dry and oily hair, for dandruff and against hair loss. On sale: curative, strengthening and preventive products, for daily and weekly use, completely natural and with chemical additives. Separate products are available for men with gray hair which take care of thin, weakened hair.

How to choose a shampoo for men

Most men’s sebaceous glands work more intensely than women’s, so it’s not right to wash your hair with the same shampoo in the family. The increased secretion of fat affects the condition of hair, and hair tends to be thicker and denser in males, and the acidity of the skin is elevated to pH 5.4. Shampoos for men are aimed at sebum reduction and intensive cleansing of the hair shaft itself.

Composition

Men have different shampoo requirements than women. The product must not contain:

1. Sodium lauryl sulfate, capable of deep cleansing but aggressive on the hair;
2. Silicone, which additionally weighs down already oily hair, although this component is present in most shampoos for men (and women).

We recommend choosing the active ingredients in consultation with your trichologist or dermatologist. On its own, you should pay attention to the presence of plant extracts, oils, proteins and fatty acids. Though their set will vary depending on the purpose of shampoo.

The claim “80% herbal shampoo” is a marketing ploy. All shampoos consist of 80% purified water. In addition, in order to preserve the organic decoction for 12-24 months (shelf life), the manufacturer will have to use preservatives in large quantities, which will reduce the usefulness of the product to a minimum. And there are many such tricks.

By destination

Just like women, men’s hair type can vary despite the condition of their sebaceous glands.

1. for oily hair, the shampoo contains drying ingredients;
2. for normal – supporting ceramides, oils and extracts;
3. for dry shampoo with moisturizing ingredients.

In the presence of dandruff, it is necessary to choose shampoos for the appropriate purpose. They help to reduce skin cell separation and prevent possible alopecia. The composition of dandruff products necessarily includes zinc, ketoconazole, salicylic acid, plant extracts. If the cause of dandruff – fungus, it is important to treat it with special drugs that are prescribed by your doctor.

How to determine your own hair type:

1. Oily after washing quickly gets dirty and becomes greasy, dull, can leave a greasy and damp feeling on your hands. I have to wash my head every day.
2. Normal-Thick hair styles well, shimmers in the sun and remains fresh for days after washing. Wash them 2-3 times a week.
3. Dry hair is split, hair is not shiny, and brushing brushes can get stuck in the hair. This condition is caused by improper nutrition, poor skin care, and a lack of pampering. It is recommended to wash them a couple of times a week, preferably using a nourishing conditioner or mask.
4. Mixed type is typical for long hair, when sebum envelops only the root zone and the ends remain dry. To care for these strands, you need a shampoo for mixed or normal hair, and nourishing masks for the ends.

No “100-in-1

To reduce the number of products used, men, who are strangers to self-care, choose a shampoo 2-in-1, 3-in-1. In which the detergent is already combined with a conditioner and some other targeted additives, such as against fungus or dandruff.

The principle of the shampoo is to open the scales of the hair and remove impurities, sebum. The conditioner, on the contrary, seals the cuticles. Accordingly, these components interfere with each other.

Antifungal additives or zinc pyrithione help indeed, but shampoos with them cannot be used on a regular basis, unlike 2-in-1 and similar shampoos. In addition, the action of active ingredients will be minimized because of the large composition, the smaller it is, the better each ingredient works.

A quality shampoo must meet the following requirements: precisely match the type of hair, have a similar PH indicator to the skin, wash dirt and grease well, neutralize static, do not cause irritation. The experts selected the top 12 products for men that fully meet these parameters. Customers who have already tried these shampoos in action agreed with them.
