Although we may show a tough external fa\u00e7ade to the world, most guys actually do enjoy looking their best. To achieve this goal, though, you\u2019ll need to invest in a few hair products for men. Even dudes that rock the unkempt and tousled look work hard to pull it off, and you can pretty much bet that they\u2019re using more products than most guys.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, a longstanding social stigma has resulted in many of us not knowing much about men\u2019s hair products. Which is sort of ridiculous considering guys have always used them. Do the words <\/span>\u201cI\u2019m a Dapper Dan Man\u201d<\/span><\/i> ring a bell? The pomade featured in <\/span>O Brother, Where Art Thou?<\/span><\/i> was a legit product that our badass grandfathers used.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, let\u2019s go ahead and leave behind the \u2018hush hush\u2019 aspect of hair products for men. We all use them, so here\u2019s everything you might need to know.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do Men Need Hair Care Products?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Many guys live by a mantra of simply not smelling like trash. With that mentality, it makes sense for a bathroom to only be occupied by shampoo and body wash. While these two products can help you get by, they\u2019re <\/span>literally<\/span><\/i> the bare minimum you can do. And when you\u2019re out looking for a soulmate \u2013 or just someone to have fun with \u2013 do you really want someone who settles for the <\/span>bare minimum<\/span><\/i>?<\/span><\/p>\n

The fact is that hair care products for men are absolutely essential. Shampoo strips our hair of its natural oils, so we need a good conditioner to ensure our mane doesn\u2019t dry out. Our hair also isn\u2019t going to stay in place on its own throughout the day, so at least one styling aid is necessary to look presentable. These realities are true even without considering the unique needs of some guys\u2019 locks.<\/span><\/p>\n

The simple fact is that the bare minimum is never enough when it comes to our hair. If you think the ladies are turned off now simply over your dry mane, imagine what they\u2019ll think when your scalp starts thinning out due to a lack of care. Every bachelor pad needs <\/span>at least<\/span><\/i> two hair products for men outside of just shampoo, and you could probably benefit from a change in that department as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Hair Products Does a Man Need?<\/b><\/h2>\n

It would be great if there were some master list of hair products for men that <\/span>every<\/span><\/i> guy could use. Then again, it would also be great if 80 percent of the Tinder chicks I match with didn\u2019t ghost out after two messages. Unfortunately, a <\/span>specific<\/span><\/i> master list doesn\u2019t exist because no two guys share the exact same hair needs. We really are beautiful and unique snowflakes in this respect.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even without telling you the exact brands to purchase, we can give you a general blueprint of what\u2019s available. Keep in mind that all these hair products for men come in countless varieties, and you can make your decision based on <\/span>your<\/span><\/i> specific needs. You also don\u2019t have to buy <\/span>all<\/span><\/i> of them. Read on and save some cash.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shampoo and Conditioner<\/b><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s a little terrifying that it\u2019s necessary to point out that everyone should use shampoo. Seriously, there\u2019s a<\/span> \u2018No Poo\u2019 movement<\/span><\/a> (poo\u2026 movement\u2026 heh) where people choose to forego the use of this essential hair product. Don\u2019t be that guy. What you should do, though, is recognize that you might need to change up shampoos.<\/span><\/p>\n

The cheap bottles you grab off the shelf without a second thought might not be best for you. A great shampoo choice will cater to your hair\u2019s needs. All those words on the label? You know, <\/span>Moisturizing, Volumizing, Fortifying<\/span><\/i> and other adjectives? They actually mean something, so grab the product that will improve your mane.<\/span><\/p>\n

This holds true for conditioners as well, and as we mentioned earlier, conditioning your hair is essential after shampooing. What you <\/span>really<\/span><\/i> need to avoid is 2-in-1 or even 3-in-1 combos. These products serve different purposes, and combining them isn\u2019t healthy for your hair.<\/span><\/p>\n

Styling Products<\/b><\/h3>\n

When it comes down to the hair products for men you need, life really is simple. Shampoo, conditioner and a styling aid typically provide everything you need and more. If you thought choosing shampoos was difficult, though, wait until you see all the options for styling products.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a list of the most common along with tips on whether they\u2019re right for you:<\/span><\/p>\n
