Head & Shoulders Refresh Shampoo ($11 for 2 pack @ Amazon.com)
Why you’ll like it: It’s improved a lot since your dad used it when you were a kid. As always, it soothes severely itchy scalps, but it also has a great scent and gives your head that refreshing tingling feeling that first-time users find so exhilarating and/or troubling.
Pantene Pro-V Classic Care Clarifying Shampoo ($12 @ Amazon.com)
Why you’ll like it: Rounding out our list of the best cheap hair products for men, this shampoo does a great job of removing waxes and pomades from hair by getting rid of the gunk without making your hair feel like you just soaked it in turpentine. If your scalp tends to be dry or you don’t use heavy-duty hair products, you should probably only use it once or twice a week, however.
