There are often so many shampoos and conditioners in the market, it can be tricky to decide which one is right for you. Curly hair, wavy hair, color-treated or permed, fine or thick hair, dry or oily, there is a wide range of unique combinations of hair types, with shampoos and conditioners to match.

Within this list we know you’ll find something that suits your hair and scalp needs. For most hair products, using the shampoo in conjunction with the conditioner from the same brand often yields better results as the hair absorbs the added moisture and nutrients that strengthen hair.
Shampoo is primarily used to clean the hair and scalp, removing dust, dirt, and buildup that accumulates over time. The target area when applying shampoo should be the scalp and the roots of your hair. This is where most of the buildup and dirt accumulates, as well as the oils if you have oily hair.

For those who have sensitive scalps as a result of psoriasis or suffer from dandruff, the shampoo you select will play a significant role in managing or perpetuating these issues, as they are concentrated on this part of the head. It is therefore important to select the appropriate shampoo that won't dry your skin and hair out further, but will nourish and hydrate them with oils and nutrients to restore health.
In general, you shouldn’t shampoo the ends of your hair very often, as this may cause the already dry ends to dry out further, increasing the likelihood of damage. Conditioners, on the other hand, should be concentrated on the ends and mid range of the hair, rather than the scalp.
Conditioners are designed to moisturize and smooth out your hair, making it easier to detangle and comb through. This reduces the risk of broken and split ends. For this reason, you should use conditioner following each shampoo wash, to add moisture to the hair and prevent future damage from grooming, styling, and environmental irritants.
This comprehensive list of the best shampoos and conditioners for men in 2023 contains a range of individual shampoos, select, conditioners, and some shampoo and conditioner combinations. We suggest you read through the list to find the shampoo and conditioner that is best for you.
With a wide range designed for varying needs, there is a product for all hair types on this list. Whatever your hair type is, we are sure you’ll find a shampoo here that will support a healthier,cleaner head of hair you’ll proudly show off every day.

Blu Atlas Shampoo and Conditioner are number one when it comes to the best shampoos and conditioners for men in 2023. This shampoo integrates vegan biotin, saw palmetto, and jojoba protein to strengthen and fortify your hair.
The saw palmetto works as an anti-inflammatory and provides hydration deep into the hair follicles and the scalp. This helps to reduce dry scalp and dandruff. Jojoba oil, on the other hand, is high in vitamins A, E, and D, and the similarity of its properties allow for easy absorption into the skin.

The antioxidants and fatty acids improve hair growth by supporting blood circulation and supplying nutrients to the hair follicles. Overall, the clean and natural ingredients derived from plant, mineral, and fruit origins improve scalp health and reduce hair shedding of hair that naturally occurs.
Blu Atlas Shampoo also contains aloe vera, which calms the scalp and soothes the skin to reduce irritation. This product works to restore health to the scalp and hair while cleaning and removing dirt and excess buildup to leave you with fresh, lively hair.
When applying Blu Atlas Shampoo onto wet or damp hair, lather it in gently before rinsing thoroughly. To top it off, these products are vegan and cruelty free, and do not contain any artificial fragrances, sulfates, or parabens.

Olaplex No. 4 Shampoo and No. 5 Conditioner are both recipients of the Allure 2022 Readers Choice award. No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo was formulated with the brand’s patented Bond-Building Chemistry to deeply nourish and repair hair. For those men whose hair is exposed to everyday environmental stresses, the No. 4 shampoo is a good option.
Hair naturally becomes damaged and hair bonds break as a result of weather, work, chemical treatments, and simple combing, which can cause frizziness and split ends. This shampoo will restore pH balance to your hair while making hair easier to manage and creating a shiny finish. Apply this shampoo onto the roots of the hair and lather into the scalp gently to ensure deep hydration and restoration.

The No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner is best used after shampooing to support easy-to-manage hair. As the bonds in the broken hair are coated in the conditioner, the bonds are re-linked to reduce the physical appearance of frizziness and restore split ends. Use this conditioner to bring shine back to your hair and leave a protective layer to avoid breakage in the future.
These products are particularly good for men who don’t have the time or inclination to keep up with the maintenance of their hair, but want the healthy look and smooth finish that the No. 4 Shampoo and No. 5 Conditioner provide. Focus the conditioner on the ends of the hair after shampooing to thoroughly coat hair in a protective layer.
