Best Shampoo/Conditioner

Winner: Hims Shampoo

Unlike death and taxes, hair loss doesn’t have to be a fact of life. The signature shampoo from confidence-enhancing healthcare company Hims uses saw palmetto, a plant extract heralded for its ability to reduce DHT – the hormone guilty of causing everything from receding hairlines to bald patches.

In line with one of the brand’s core principles that prevention is better than remedy, use it regularly to build strength and hair health. Instant confidence, just add water.

Dr Tijion Esho: “Hints of peppermint and tea tree are welcome additions in making the fight against male pattern baldness not just look good but smell great too.”

Aveda’s newest shampoo is a city-dweller’s dream. Rosemary, peppermint, spearmint and white vinegar make for a powerful combination that naturally purifies your mane, ridding you of the day’s pollution and grime.
