Men's shampoo: what they sell you and what they prefer to tell you

On the shelves, there are "men's" shampoos , often black, mentholated, with strong, masculine promises. Next to them are "women's" shampoos, gentle, floral, sometimes pink.
But behind these marketing codes, a real question arises:
Is men's shampoo really different? 🧐

At the house of Nolla, we suggest you step away from labels for a moment and explore the truth behind this highly sought-after invention: men's shampoo .

🌿 Does the male scalp have different needs?

Yes and no.

On average, men have oilier scalps, with a slightly higher density of hair follicles. This may require a shampoo that cleanses gently without being harsh.

But these differences have nothing to do with the menthol scent, the black packaging or the " 2-in-1 for active men " promise.
They mainly concern the formulation: a good cleansing base, a pH-balanced formula, and targeted active ingredients. 👌

👉 Spoiler: our Nolla shampoos are designed to suit everyone, even men.

🧼 Gendered marketing: a legacy rather than a necessity

The term "men's shampoo" is a commercial construct.
Why? Because it creates a target . A color. A scent. A message.
But in reality, Hair care needs are not gender-specific . 👎

That's why at Nolla:

• Our three formulas, which require dilution, are designed to meet specific needs:

  • Pineapple & Jasmine : for all hair types 🎀

  • Fig & Green Tea : for sensitive scalps 🌶️

  • Avocado & Vanilla : for damaged hair 😬

• And not for men's or women's shampoos.

🧴 Men's shampoo: what Nolla really offers

We have designed a shampoo that needs to be diluted, giving you complete freedom:

• Free to choose the fragrance according to your taste (not according to your gender) 💐

• Feel free to choose your favorite reusable bottle (orange, blue, purple…) 🧴

• Feel free to prepare your own hair treatment at home with just a sachet of powder and warm water 💦

And the best part of all this?

It all depends on your needs, we are here to meet them with our shampoo.
