You’re a dirty boy! These shampoos, body washes, and pomades will get you squeaky clean.

1. BEST VOLUMIZING/THICKENING SHAMPOO

Progaine Volumizing Shampoo


Designed specifically for fine hair by the pioneering chaps at Rogaine, it’ll take you from comb-over to pompadour in no time. $7

2. BEST ALL-IN-ONE

Nivea for Men Active 3


This combines shampoo, body wash, and shaving gel in one dermatologically tested package—but we don’t recommend trying to do all three at the same time. (Just ask our tester, One-Eyed Baldy McLimp.) $6

3. BEST 2-IN-1 

Head & Shoulders Hair Endurance for Men 2-in-1


The new HydraZinc formula from Head & Shoulders isn’t just great at restoring the health of your scalp—it’s also really fun to say! $5

4. BEST POMADE

Bumble and Bumble Sumotech


This hybrid solution is the chimera of hair products, mixing the attributes of wax, paste, and cream into a formidable hair-taming monster. $25

5. BEST STYLING WAX

Kiehl’s Creative Cream Wax


This nongreasy wax is designed for creative styling with strong hold. Just please, please, and extra please don’t give yourself a “Bieber.” $16

6. BEST BODY WASH

Axe Rise Shower Gel


Designed to wake you up in the morning with a fresh, citrusy blast to the senses, it’s like being served 10 espressos by a huge, enthusiastic lemon. $4
