When you look in the mirror every morning, you want to see an image of confidence, strength and command. If you see it, then others will too. Proper shampoo choices can help guarantee that image. Choosing the right one for your style of hair — whether it’s thinning, dyed or in need of texture — is much like choosing the right armor for battle; if it fits, it’ll keep you protected and prepared.

Consider these shampoos the next time you go hair care shopping.

Best for Thinning Hair — John Allan’s Thick Shampoo

This brand of shampoo tackles concerns over thinning hair in a two-pronged approach. Its abundance of vitamin E, vitamin A and panthenol helps to add volume to your hair, while the presence of sage, aloe vera, kelp and nettle helps to clear away hair follicle buildup, which is known to cause hair loss.

Best for Softening Coarse Hair — Fresh Seaberry

Steel wool is great for cleaning out pipes, but it’s terrible as a hairstyle. If you find that your scalp is populated by harsh hair, consider Seaberry by Fresh. Its omega-rich and sulfate-free formula helps to protect hair from outside stressors and harsh damage.

Best for African-American Hair — Pantene Relaxed and Natural

Black men have thick, curly and awesome hair; sometimes, all that awesome responsibility requires some extra help, and that’s where Patene’s Relaxed and Natural comes in. This product keeps your hair sturdy with tons of moisture. Its formula boasts the strength to cut through and make sure every curl of your hair gets squeaky clean.

Best for Sensitive Skin — Malin + Goetz Gentle Neroli Shampoo

Some men have naturally soft and sensitive hair. Though this appeals to the touch, it can provide prickly circumstances with the wrong shampoo. Fortunately, Malin + Goetz’s Gentle Neroli Shampoo uses “moisture-rich proteins” and soothing neroli in a foam-type lather to keep men’s scalps comfortable and clean.

Best for Dyed Hair — Kiehl’s Olive Fruit Oil Nourishing Shampoo

Modern men are significantly less afraid than their older peers to experiment and dye their hair. If you want to make sure your newly added hair color — from natural browns to bold blues — keeps its luster, consider Kiehl’s Olive Fruit Oil Nourishing Shampoo. Avocado oil and olive fruit oil help to keep your hair super-moist and maintained.

Best for Texturizing — Bumble and Bumble Surf Foam Wash Shampoo

Another trend in modern men’s hair styling is the texturized, “intentionally messy” bedhead look. If used daily, this must-have item promises body and softness perfect for subtle sculpting and a devil-may-care appearance. Even if you do care, no one needs to know.

Best for Oily Hair — Giovanni Tea Tree Triple Threat Invigorating Shampoo

The Giovanni Tea Tree Triple Threat Invigorating Shampoo offers a one-two punch to oily scalps. The highly advertised tea tree oil in this product handily removes oils and anything that can clog follicles and pores. Additionally, the peppermint botanicals in the shampoo keep your scalp from drying out — a possible risk in lesser de-oiling shampoos.
