Curly hair has its own set of rules and it deserves its own routine. In 2025, haircare brands are stepping up with advanced formulas specifically tailored for men with curls, coils, and waves. The ideal shampoo should cleanse without stripping natural oils, provide hydration without weighing the hair down, and preserve the curl pattern. Here’s a look at the top shampoos making waves this year for men with curly hair.
Kerastase Curl Manifesto combines manuka honey and ceramides to deeply hydrate and strengthen curls without sulfates or heavy buildup. It’s gentle enough for daily use and gives hair a soft, glossy finish while keeping curls flexible and defined. For men looking for consistent performance and luxury care, this is a top-tier everyday choice.
With 97% naturally derived ingredients, Briogeo Curl Charisma is packed with curl-loving elements like shea butter, avocado oil, and rice amino acids. It reduces frizz, locks in moisture, and promotes uniform curl formation. Ideal for chemically treated, dyed, or naturally curly hair, it offers a clean, plant-based solution that keeps curls looking fresh and defined.
Designed to combat weather-related frizz, this shampoo uses nanotechnology and silk protein to shield hair from heat and moisture loss. Infused with shea and murumuru butter, it softens curls while protecting color-treated hair. It’s especially effective for men who spend time outdoors and need a shield against sun, humidity, and dryness.
Bevel delivers affordable yet effective curl care using nourishing ingredients like coconut oil and shea butter. It cleanses without stripping and helps with detangling, making it a solid daily cleanser. While it may not be the strongest against frizz, it pairs well with leave-in conditioners or oils for a complete routine without breaking the bank.
Though not designed solely for curly hair, Brickell’s shampoo features natural ingredients like peppermint oil, vitamin E, and amino acids that boost shine, prevent dandruff, and add body to curls. It provides a tingling, revitalizing cleanse and supports healthy growth. A smart option for men who want one shampoo that does it all gently and effectively.
