Our 10 Best Hair Products for Men

Do you remember a time when there was just one shampoo for all types of hair and you didn’t use any other additional products to style your hair other than your fingers? Well, times have changed and even though some are nostalgically turning back to the methods before the invention of synthetic shampoo, such as the ‘No Poo’ method, most of us grab just about any new product that promised shiny, healthy and beautiful hair.

There’s so many different hairstyles out there now, from long manes to going comando, and if you add numerous hair types to that equation, it’s no surprise we’re bombed with hair products from every direction. To make some sense out of this madness, we prepared a list of 10 best hair products for men that can be found on the market today and will hopefully clear out what exactly it is that you’re looking for.

Check out our guide to long hair trends and short hairstyles.

If you find it hard to brake old habits and using regular hair gel is one of them, they at least switch it up for a proper hair product. Jack Black Hair Gel doesn’t have a sticky feel or leave your hair crisp as chips, it’s light and puts your hair into place.

This is an awesome product if you’re looking to add some beach coolness to your hair. Magnesium-rich dead sea salts build volume, and create random, undone texture without the drying effects of most sea salt sprays. The addition of coconut and jojoba oils condition and soften the hair without weighing it down.
