Hair Care

Which men’s shampoo should you choose for your scalp?

The choice of shampoo depends primarily on your scalp and hair type. If your roots become oily quickly, our Purifying Freshness collection gently purifies the scalp with an essential oil complex—the ideal solution for oily hair, which is also prone to dandruff. For fine, flat or limp hair, our Strength & Volume collection brings lightness and vitality from the roots. Damaged or coloured hair finds balance with the Intense Repair collection, formulated to nourish and strengthen the hair fibre. Finally, for daily use and sensitive scalps, Gentle & Balance—sulphate-free and silicone-free—offers the utmost gentleness for frequent washing.

Which anti-hair loss shampoo is best for men?

Hair loss is a common concern for men, often linked to hormonal or genetic factors, as well as stress or fatigue. While no shampoo alone can stop hereditary hair loss, targeted care can help maintain scalp vitality and support fragile hair day after day. At L’Occitane en Provence, the Anti-Hair Loss Hair Serum is applied directly to the scalp to help densify hair and stimulate microcirculation. Used alongside a gentle shampoo and regular scalp treatment, it forms part of a holistic routine designed to maintain hair density over time.

How often should you shampoo each week?

The frequency of shampooing depends above all on your scalp. For normal to dry hair, two to three washes per week are enough to maintain balance. For oily hair, shampooing every other day may be necessary: in this case, choose a gentle purifying formula that cleanses without stripping and avoids triggering excess sebum production. The technique is simple: apply shampoo to wet hair, massage the scalp for a few seconds to stimulate microcirculation, then rinse thoroughly. A conditioner applied to the lengths then detangles and makes styling easier. For a complete men’s ritual, combine your hair care with your usual shaving, after shave and men's facial care.
