“Men’s hair routines have come a long way, but many men still seek the wrong shampoo,” says celebrity hairstylist Nick Arrojo. “Whether it’s daily cleansing, scalp care or texture management, the right formula can make all the difference in maintaining healthy hair and a confident style.” Celebrity hairstylist Andrew Fitzsimons agrees, emphasizing the importance of scalp hair for men. “The best shampoo is one that’s not just cleansing but also nourishing, because scalp health is the foundation of great hair, no matter your gender,” he adds. Here, celebrity hairstylists and groomers name the best shampoo for men. Whether you have thinning hair, curly hair, product buildup or something else, there’s a product for everyone.
