Why individualized hair care for men is so important
Differences in hair care for men and women
What hair care products does healthy men’s hair need?
Below we have put together a list of available products as well as recommendations which ones are best for the various hair types and requirements.
Shampoo – no matter for whom – serves primarily to clean the hair and scalp and remove sebum and styling products. Shampoo is therefore an essential part of regular hair care for men. This applies for all hair lengths and types.
Whether you need a product against dandruff or hair loss, to care for your curls or for deep cleansing if you use strong styling products – at Yours Truly, you will find just the right product for you and your needs. You shouldn’t have to make any compromises. We’ll help you put together your individualized shampoo for men in a few easy steps. You just need to answer a few questions about your hair and your wishes.

Tired of the brush getting caught in your hair? Then you should try a conditioner. Conditioners prevent your hair from knotting after washing, making it easier to comb. Today there is a great selection of conditioners available for men.
If your hair is stressed, longer than 10 cm, dyed or bleached, you should definitely use a rinse or Conditioner. It gives your hair additional protection and nutrients. In brief, conditioners also provide men’s hair with moisture while simultaneously protecting the scalp. They are much richer than rinses but are used in the same way. Conditioners seal the cuticle layer of the individual hairs, so that their surface no longer appears frizzy and dull.
Rinses and conditioners are simply applied to rinsed-out hair after shampooing. Leave the product to work for a short time, then thoroughly wash the conditioner or rinse out of your hair.
Hair lotion, also called hair tonic, contains nurturing ingredients that boost the health of your scalp and hair, especially in the presence of hair loss, dandruff or graying hair.
Using a hair lotion or Hair Tonic is also beneficial to obtain a fresh and vital scalp. You simply spray it onto your scalp and massage it in. The massage activates blood circulation around the hair roots, letting the active ingredients absorb better into your scalp.
A hair treatment works deep inside the hair and helps it regenerate from within. It is also recommendable for men to use hair treatments approx. once every two weeks. Especially for hair that is dyed, bleached or a bit longer, hair treatments are an effective way to maintain healthy hair.
Hair treatments are usually applied between shampoo and conditioner.
Hair oil ensures that your hair gets additional nutritious care, giving it a healthy sheen. Hair oil is especially recommended for curly, dyed or bleached hair.
You can apply the oil onto wet or dry hair. Just rub a few drops between your palms and gently massage into the tips of the hair.
Leave-in Conditioner is not washed out. It stays in the hair to provide it with nutrients. After washing, the conditioner is simply sprayed evenly into towel-dried hair – done. This makes this kind of conditioner an unbeatably fast and simple way to care for your hair. That’s probably the reason why leave-in conditioner is such a popular hair care solution for men.
But don’t forget: a classical conditioner that is washed out is a little bit more work, but in the long term provides more care for your hair.

Hair care is a question of type – the perfect hair care for men
It’s been known for a while that men’s hair also needs care and a little bit of attention. But what’s the best hair care for you? Well, that depends mainly on your hair type and your styling routine. In particular, the hair structure determines whether additional care is needed in addition to shampoo. Wavy, curly or frizzy hair for instance requires a particularly special care routine to look strong and groomed. Dyed, bleached and permed hair, as well as chemically straightened hair, also needs more care than natural hair.

The causes of thinning hair in men are varied. Find out more about the right hair care for thin hair here.
Just because your hair is thinner doesn’t mean that you should pay less attention to it. For instance, you can use shampoo to strengthen the roots and obtain more volume. With a hair tonic, you can also reinforce your hair roots, making the hair follicle grow wider. As a result, your hair grows back thicker.
Tonic Hair Growth
What is the perfect hair care for men with long hair? One absolutely vital component is hair shampoo, which moisturizes the hair all the way to the tip and strengthens and reinforces it along its whole length. The longer the hair, the more porous it gets, and the hair can become knotty or even matted.
To prevent this, you should wash long hair with lukewarm water, use a moisturizing shampoo and finish up with a conditioner to smoothen and seal the surface of the hairs. To make your mane truly shine, you can splash out on a deep hair treatment once or twice a month.
Dry hair is a common occurrence, including in men. Environmental factors like sunlight, or even the wrong care, can render hair brittle and dry. Luckily, there are special products today to make dry hair shiny and silky again, including in men.
At Yours Truly you’ll find hair shampoos and conditioners that spoil your hair with that extra moisture. Our hair care products for men contain valuable nurturing ingredients that help your hair regenerate its protective cuticle layer. Depending on the length of your hair, you can choose between a classical conditioner that you wash out and a time-saving leave-in product for your hair care.
Leave-In Conditioner
Don’t worry, you’re not alone. We all get gray hair eventually. You can read about the reasons for this here.
To slow down the graying of your hair, it is best to use a care combination consisting of shampoo and conditioner for men that together stimulate the generation of natural melanin (hair dyes or pigments that give hair its color).
You can also use a hair tonic as an additional daily nutrient boost. Within four months, you can achieve a reduction in your gray hairs of up to 17%.
Tonic Repigmentation
Whether genetic or due to stress, dry or oily, dandruff is annoying. Find out what causes it and what the best care for the different forms of dandruff is in our gudie.
In any case, men should use hair care products, starting with a mild hair shampoo for dry scalp, in order to prevent even more irritation to the scalp. It’s also a good idea to use a calming scalp tonic that provides moisture and contains active ingredients that reduce itchiness.
