    I don't think there's much difference. Once I used my dad's shampoo, big whoop. The only real thing is like some shampoo targets, like I know for women they have all kinds of targets like Hydration, Volume, Straighten. That may be the case for some men shampoos. So if you have just regular hair, probably any shampoo is fine. But if you have problems with your hair, you should probably look at the mens shampoos. Here's a website that may or may not help. http://www.productventures.com/media/bp0504.pdf

    THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!However, I don't believe there are QUITE as many differences as men are led to believe. MOST,but not all, of it is HYPE.

    The additives used in them are different just for starters! ie

    different perfumes.

    There should ALSO be a difference in the pH balance as well as other differences.

    We've ALL heard the commercial.....

    "Tough enough for a man,

    but MADE FOR A WOMAN."

    Redkin alone has so many various products for men covering just about every single hairstyle,hair condition, as well as every type of male hair concerns,that it's mind boggling.

    ie.

    A man will want less volume then a woman,and without the perfume.Men need better hold for certain (ie spiked) hairstyles, lasting all day,without being greasy.And then there are the vitamins.

    Take care and God bless you and yours!

    My husband loves the Melaleuca Herbal Shampoo. It's all natural, has stopped all of his dandruff and makes his scalp feel fresh and relaxed.

    Most of the marketing you see if hype. If you find a product you like, stick with it!

    Shampoo is a major scam dude. You're better off shaving your head and saving the money:

    herbal essence probably is the best plus girls like when guys use it cause the smells lasts a while.
