Hydrating Shampoo

For most men with medium-to long-hair, 3 to 4 washes per week is the sweet spot. Washing too frequently can disrupt your scalp's natural sebum production, which helps keep your hair and scalp healthy between washes. Wash as infrequently as possible for you. If you sweat hard every day, this formula is safe to use daily!

On non-wash days, leave your hair alone. Wetting it without shampooing swells the hair shaft repeatedly without actually cleansing, and that cycle of swelling and drying weakens hair over time.

We highly recommend using a conditioner. Shampoo opens the cuticle to cleanse, and conditioner smooths it back down. Without that second step, longer hair is more prone to tangling, friction damage, and moisture loss. Our Hydrating Conditioner is formulated to complement this shampoo, but any conditioner matched to your hair type will work.

Standard shipping takes 5-7 business days. Expedited shipping (3-5 days) and Express shipping (1-2 days) are available at checkout. Orders over $40 qualify for free standard shipping within the US.

Most men's shampoos are formulated with short hair in mind. They prioritize aggressive cleansing and quick rinse times because that's all a crew cut needs.

If you have any length to your hair, the one-size-fits-all approach you find in the men's aisle doesn't work. You need a formula that is right for your hair type, cleanses without stripping essential lipids, and addresses the problems your hair type faces. That's what we do at Mannered Manes. We take a hair type-first approach for men growing their mane.

Most men notice improved hydration and moisture differences within 2 weeks. Significant transformations typically occur between 6-8 weeks of consistent use. Hair changes take time, so don't be discouraged if your hair isn't magically different after one use.

Sulfates like SLS and SLES are effective cleansing agents. There's nothing inherently wrong with them at the right concentration. That said, a large portion of consumers prefer sulfate-free formulations, and for men with medium-to-long hair who wash multiple times per week, a milder surfactant system reduces the cumulative drying effect over time.

Our cleansing system pairs sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate with cocamidopropyl betaine. The sulfonate handles the heavy lifting (removing oil, dirt, and yesterday's questionable decisions from your hair), while the betaine balances the charge profile and keeps things gentle. Together, they give you a thorough cleanse without that squeaky, stripped feeling that makes you wonder if your shampoo is also moonlighting as a degreaser.

And yes, it still lathers. We're not animals.

We include Saccharomyces and Lactobacillus ferments, which are probiotic-derived ingredients that help support the scalp's natural microbiome. Your scalp is skin, and like all skin, it has a microbiome that functions best when it's in balance. A healthy scalp microbiome is associated with reduced irritation and flaking, and a better foundation for hair growth. Think of it as the same logic behind probiotic skincare, applied to your scalp.

Yes. We don't use harsh sulfates or stripping agents. The gentle formula is safe for color-treated, chemically straightened, or otherwise processed hair. The conditioning oils and panthenol will actually help protect and extend your color.

One 8-oz bottle typically lasts 6-8 weeks with regular use (3-4 times per week). Your usage may vary depending on hair length and thickness.
