With so many male grooming products on the market, it can be tough to know where to begin. One fact universally acknowledged, though, is that great hair starts with a great shampoo. Whatever comes after - be it a wax, pomade or spay - a good base starts in the shower, so choose your shampoo wisely.
We've picked some of our stylists' favourite shampoos, specifically designed to tackle some of the most common male hair complaints. So whether you suffer with dandruff or oil, or just lead a busy life with little time for pampering, there'll be a shampoo to suit you.
