I smell like a Christmas pudding
I am balding at the crown and keep my hair short, a grade 1 at the sides and back, and a grade 3 on what remains on top. I suffer from dandruff if I do not occasionally use an anti dandruff shampoo. Were that not the case then I would never use any shampoo at all and simply wash my hair and scalp with water. Plenty of people never use shampoo and find it very successful in terms of hair and scalp health, often after an initial settling in period. There are also the benefits of cost savings, and zero packaging waste. I would gradually reduce the frequency of shampoo use until you quit it completely and see how it goes 
I shave my remaining hair (male pattern baldness) and usually go by Clubman Country Club. Big bottle, very economical to use and nice scent if you are in Clubman camp.
Since I no longer wear styling products in my hair, I just use a bar of Dove hand soap. I had started using shampoo bars for a while but the Dove works almost just as well.
Tip for using bar soap as shampoo is not to rub bar onto hair directly, instead lather bar in hands and transfer lather onto hair. Second, when taking a shower, wash hair last…giving hair a bit of time to absorb water before washing seems to help.

I’m a slaphead too. Any shampoo is fine.
Hannes, can you describe the scent of that? Does it smell like the Clubman Original aftershave, or no?
It’s in the same line but not exactly as the AS. Overall less strong and complimentary to it.
Thank you, sir. Hope you and the family are well.
I've been using and enjoying Stirling shampoo bars. Available in a ton of scents and not very expensive. Most of us have our favorite Stirling scents. I keep my hair cut fairly short. It lathers up and cleans well.
All well and enjoying summer, how about you Eric?
Doing well, my friend. I am now co-owner of a recording studio here in Nashville. I'm very excited about it.
K.I.S. Baby shampoo for years, had nothing to do with anything but very gentle.
Congratulations!Doing well, my friend. I am now co-owner of a recording studio here in Nashville. I'm very excited about it.
Sorry I couldn’t resist, but I guess there IS more to Nashville
I use various shampoos for thinning hair...
I use Nizoral twice a week. It's helped to slow hair thinning a great deal.
I pretty much only use shampoo bars now. I like the Stirling unscented, PAA unscented shampoo puck, Executive Shaving Rosemary & Eucalyptus Natural Solid and I still have a cube of PAA Pomade reducer shampoo and conditioner. I don't need it now that I am buzzing my own hair with an Andis hair clippers, but I'm sure I'll get around to using it again..... I'm in 3017 mode with all my shaving soaps, pre-shaves and shampoos.
I use Clubman Country Club. That's the best shampoo I've ever used. I alternate it with DHS 2% pyrithione zinc and various dandruff shampoos. Also, the Alpecin brand shampoos from Germany are very good. I don't think they are very effective for hair loss, but the quality is good. I used the Alpecin Sport shampoo for years.
