I don’t claim to be a shampoo expert, but I do know a good shampoo when I see one. Some shampoos will leave your hair feeling greasy, weak, and/or limp. Now I’m not the kind of guy that’s concerned with looking great all the time, I just want to know that I have healthy hair. I’ve tried a good deal of different brands and have only been pleased with a handful. These are my picks for the best shampoos:
Bumble and Bumble Seaweed Shampoo
This can be used by both men and women. It contains actual algae, coconut, and palm oils that will naturally moisturize your hair and scalp. The smell is relaxing, don’t worry, it doesn’t smell too much like seaweed. If you have dry hair, this is a great shampoo to try. Also, if your hair is dyed or highlighted, this does not strip color at all. The major downside is that it’s a little overpriced. If you don’t mind spending a little extra on shampoo, then this is definitely worth a try.
I found out about this South Korean brand a couple months ago. They have cosmetics, lotions, face washes, shampoos, and a growing selection of men’s care products. The best thing is that the products are made with natural ingredients, is packed full of nutrients, so it’s great for your skin. My fiancee has tried a ton of different products from them and has been 100% satisfied with everything. Anyway, back to the shampoo. This is made with rosemary, keratin protein, and beer ingredients (I’m assuming mostly hops) which strengthen your hair and scalp. If you have fear of losing your hair, then get this shampoo. It’s designed to prevent hair-loss. My hair seems much more full since using this. The smell isn’t exactly like beer, but it still smells really good. It’s piney and peppery, which is probably what it would smell like if you stuck your face into a barrell of rosemary and hops. It’s a masculine smell, that’s for sure.
As far as I know, there aren’t any suppliers in the USA. If you want to find any of their products, your best bet is to look on ebay. I guarantee you will be pleased with any product of theirs, and the cost is well worth it.
Aveda Men Pure-formance Shampoo
I bought a bottle of this about a year ago. I love it, but somehow forgot about it until now. There’s a lot of natural ingredients in this, which makes me feel good about using it. There’s babassu, tamanu, seaweed, sage extract, licorice, and spearmint oils. This cocktail leaves your hair feeling moist, but not greasy. Not to mention the stuff smells great. Studies show that after two weeks of use, 72% of men showed a noticable reduction of scalp greasiness, and 65% showed a reduction in scalp dryness and itchiness. It’s formulated to treat any type of scalp or hair problems. This is serious stuff! The only bad thing is that it’s kind of expensive.
If you aren’t pleased with your shampoo, then try one of these. All of them work for any type of hair. My favorite is easily the SkinFood shampoo. Check these out and see for yourself!
