Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo For Men
If you’re unlucky enough to suffer from both hair loss and dandruff, Nizoral is a must-buy – particularly seeing as there is evidence to suggest that dandruff can contribute to an unhealthy scalp and ultimately resulting in balding.Nizoral is packed with a potent ingredient called Ketoconazole, which prevents dandruff and the associated inflammation and irritation caused by it too. But that’s not all. Ketoconazole has also been shown to help prevent hair loss by temporarily inhibiting 5AR, the enzyme that is responsible for converting testosterone into DHT.
With 1% Ketoconazole (or 2% with a prescription), Nizoral has the ability to kill the fungi that naturally causes dandruff – and at the same time keep your hair where it belongs, on your head.
Hanz de Fuko Gravity Paste For Men
High hold but a mid-satin shine is what separates a great paste from a wax; it’s basically the bridge between a high sheen achieved by using a wax and the matte finish of a clay.

Very pliable, it turns to a tacky texture when warmed in your palms and is great for sculpted styles.
