10 of the Best Shampoos, According to Experts

It always struck us as kind of odd that many men care so suddenly about their hair once they start losing it, but they spent a lifetime grabbing whatever three-in-one monstrosity was on sale at the grocery store.

Of course, shampoo doesn't cause baldness, but proper scalp care is essential to keeping your scalp as healthy as possible for as long as possible.

Men's Health recently chatted with some grooming experts who chose the best shampoos for every hair type.
