If the man gets his hair really dirty, like farm dirty with diesel and moly grease and itchy chaff bits, then it means it probably doesn't have what it takes to do the job.
My wife bought endless shampoos, I tried them for sport and none ever impressed me. Our hard water laughs at fancy shampoos and soaps.
I always told her to forget it and use my big jug of Pert. A classic that says something on the back like "Pert wasn't designed to waste your time and money. Pert was designed to get your hair clean" but she was sure there was something wrong with it because it was only 5 bucks.
Finally one day she gave it a try and has used Pert ever since. It made her hair smooth and soft, it even washes moly grease out and it smells "fine", men's shampoo is the winner IMO
And now my shower is so tidy with only one jug of shampoo
But what about that makes it "men's" shampoo, chemically? Do women never need to wash grease out of their hair?
I understand you're point. I'm just reiterating that the formula is needlessly gendered. "Shampoo for hard water and heavy duty cleaning" just doesn't sell in our version of socialized society I guess.
Actually come to think of it, I don't think Pert is actually gendered. But everyone knows it's a "man's shampoo", because it isn't actively marketed as a "women's shampoo"... Yeah, pretty stupid, isn't it.
I've always thought of Pert as non-gendered. In fact, that's what my mom bought for the family in the 70's.
I remember the green gel.
My regular shampoo is Malibu C Hard Water Wellness, it is not too harsh and works so well in our water. Not Pert cheap but can get it for around $30 a liter usually and that lasts me a looong time. I love that stuff. Doesn't dry out my hair, does clean and rinses clean.
