I’ve learned that having a good hair routine isn’t about using every product you can find.
It’s about knowing what you’re trying to improve and keeping your routine simple enough to actually stick with.
Here’s how I’d build a men’s hair routine—fro...

MORNING HAIR-LOSS ROUTINE
My pick for guys who want a convenient all-in-one treatment option to research.
Keeps currently offers this as a prescription 3-in-1 combination containing finasteride and minoxidil, so this is something I’d discuss with a provider rather than treat...
Keeps Chew 3-In-1 — Finasteride & Minoxidil
For guys who prefer a topical routine.
I like having a liquid option on the list because some people simply prefer applying their treatment rather than taking a daily pill.
Keeps Drop 4-In-1 — Finasteride & Minoxidil
Another option I’d research if topical minoxidil isn’t the format I want.
Because oral minoxidil is a prescription medication, this belongs in the “talk to a medical provider first” category for me.
Keeps Oral Minoxidil
Wash day
My premium shampoo pick.
I’d use something like this when the goal is keeping the hair looking healthy, clean and manageable—not as a replacement for an actual hair-loss treatment.
Kérastase Genesis Bain Hydra-Fortifiant Shampoo
A more affordable scalp-and-hair-care option I’d compare with premium shampoos.
I like keeping a straightforward cleansing product in the routine instead of constantly switching between different treatments.
Rosemary Mint Strengthening Shampoo
Scalp care
For guys dealing with dandruff, flaking or an irritated scalp, this is one I'd know about.
Keeps lists ketoconazole shampoo as a prescription-strength option, so I’d follow the product directions and provider advice rather than using it like an ever...
Keeps Ketoconazole Shampoo
A simple cleanser to consider when I want something straightforward.
I’d keep this in the everyday-care category rather than expecting it to regrow hair.
The Ordinary Sulphate 4% Shampoo Cleanser for Body & Hair
One of the easier add-ons for a hair-care routine.
I’d use this kind of product as a cosmetic/scalp-care step while keeping proven hair-loss treatments in their own category.
The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density
CONDITION & PROTECT
My pick when I want a more polished, premium wash-day routine.
The goal here is smoother, more manageable hair—not replacing a medical hair-loss treatment.
A small styling step that can make a big difference when hair looks dry or rough.
I’d use just a little through the lengths and ends when I want extra shine and a more finished look.
OLAPLEX Nº.7 BONDING OIL™ FULL SIZE
Another classic option for finishing the hair.
This is one I’d consider when the priority is softness, shine and making the hair look healthier.
