Men's Hair & Beard Products NZ: A Stylist's Guide (2026)

Most men are using a 2-in-1 from the supermarket and wondering why their hair won't sit. Salon-grade men's products are a small upgrade that makes a daily difference.

You don't need a ten-step routine. A good cleanse, the right styler for your hair, and beard care if you've got one. Here's what we put in clients' hands.

Wash

Sebastian SEBMAN Multitasker is a genuine 3-in-1 (hair, beard and body) for the no-fuss routine, and Redken Brews 3-in-1 does the same job with a fresh finish. If you want a wake-up cleanse, Redken Brews Mint Shampoo has a cooling tingle and helps a busy scalp feel fresh.

Style

Redken Brews Clay Pomade is the workhorse — matte, pliable hold for short-to-medium styles, easy to rework, no wet look. It suits most men and most cuts.

Beard

Sebastian SEBMAN Groom Oil softens and conditions hair and beard, tames coarse growth and adds a healthy (not greasy) finish. A few drops daily is all it takes — and it sorts out the itch in the first few weeks of growing one out.

The simple routine

• Wash 2-3 times a week, not daily — over-washing dries scalp and beard.
• Style on towel-dried hair; warm a small amount of clay between your palms first.
• Beard oil after the shower while the skin's still slightly damp.

Thinning on top? It's common — see our honest thinning hair & hair fall guide.
