Experience instant scalp refreshment and lasting strength with Dove Men+Care Cooling Relief Shampoo with Icy Menthol. Designed specifically for men’s hair needs, this energizing shampoo delivers a deep clean that removes dirt, oil, and product residue while providing a cool burst to awaken your senses. Formulated with PROTEIN POWER technology—a blend of citric strength builders and a protective protein shield—it works to reconnect broken protein bonds deep inside the fiber and help shield up to 90% of hair’s natural protein from daily wear and tear. Since 90% of hair is made of protein, everyday habits like styling, wearing hats, or towel drying can weaken strands and lead to breakage. This fortifying shampoo helps keep hair stronger and more resilient wash after wash. The icy menthol infusion instantly cools the scalp, making it ideal for starting your day with an invigorating boost or for post workout recovery when you want to feel fresh and recharged. The lightweight lather cleans effectively without over drying, leaving hair soft, manageable, and ready for effortless styling. This moisturizing shampoo for men is suitable for all hair types, including normal, fine, and oily hair, and is gentle enough for daily use. It rinses clean with no residue, so your hair keeps its natural movement and volume. The fresh, masculine scent provides long lasting post shower confidence. Complete your grooming routine with other Dove Men+Care essentials—such as body wash, styling products, and antiperspirants—for a head to toe clean that works as hard as you do. With Dove Men+Care Cooling Relief Shampoo, you don’t just wash your hair—you strengthen, protect, and invigorate it, every single day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring this shampoo camping or on a road trip without it leaking?
The 18 fl oz bottle has a standard screw cap that holds up well in a travel kit. For air travel, decant into a leak-proof travel container, as the retail bottle is larger than TSA carry-on limits.
Will the menthol wash help cool my scalp after a long run outside?
Yes. The icy menthol provides an instant cooling sensation on contact, making it a popular choice for post-run showers at the gym or an outdoor rinse station.
Is this good for a locker room or communal shower setup?
Absolutely. The bottle is durable, the lather rinses clean, and the masculine scent is appropriate for shared spaces. Many gym-goers keep one in their gym bag for this reason.
Does the formula hold up in hot weather where my scalp sweats more?
Yes. The PROTEIN POWER formula is designed for men with oily or sweat-prone hair, and the menthol provides extra relief after sun exposure or hot-weather activity.
Can I use this at an outdoor shower at a campsite or beach house?
Yes. The shampoo works in any rinse-off setting with fresh water. The bottle is portable enough for a camp shower caddy or outdoor shower station.
Will the 18 fl oz bottle be too big to pack for a weekend trip?
It depends on your bag. For a duffel or checked luggage, the 18 fl oz bottle is fine. For carry-on only travel, transfer a few ounces into a smaller travel bottle.
Is the scent strong enough to mask sweat on a multi-day outdoor trip?
The masculine scent is long-lasting and noticeable without being overwhelming, so it works well when you need a confidence boost between washes on longer trips.
How does this compare to a body wash used as a hair cleanser on the trail?
Body wash is not formulated for scalp health and can leave hair feeling dry or coated. This shampoo is pH-balanced for hair, rinses clean, and adds a protein shield that body wash cannot provide.
Is this better than a typical gym-brand sport shampoo?
Many sport shampoos focus solely on oil removal. This one combines deep cleansing with PROTEIN POWER strengthening and a cooling menthol payoff, giving you more benefit per wash.
Will the menthol sting if I have a sunburned scalp?
Menthol can feel more intense on compromised or sunburned skin. If your scalp is irritated from sun, rinse with cool water first and consider waiting a day before using a menthol shampoo.
Can I leave it in a hot car or garage without it degrading?
Like most shampoos, it is best stored in a cool, dry place. Prolonged heat exposure in a car can affect fragrance and consistency, so bring it inside when possible.
Does it work in hard water at a campsite or cabin?
Yes. The lather builds in most water conditions, though very hard water may reduce foam. A quick rinse afterward keeps hair from feeling coated.
Is it heavy to carry on a long hike if I want to camp and shower?
At 18 fl oz, the full bottle adds noticeable weight. For backcountry trips, decant a small amount into a lightweight squeeze bottle.
Will the cooling effect be too much in cold weather?
Some users actually enjoy the extra chill in winter, while others find it too intense. If you are sensitive, try a small amount first or save it for post-workout use indoors.
Can I use this after swimming in a pool or the ocean?
Yes. It is a good follow-up to chlorine or salt water exposure. The lather helps lift residue, and the menthol leaves the scalp feeling refreshed.
Does the bottle hold up in a wet gym bag?
The standard cap seals tightly, but as with any bottle, store it upright in a wet bag to be safe. A small zip pouch adds extra protection.
How do I use Dove Men+Care Cooling Relief Shampoo for the best results?
Wet hair thoroughly, massage a quarter-sized amount into the scalp and hair, work into a light lather, and rinse clean. For extra cooling, leave the lather on for 30 to 60 seconds before rinsing. Follow with conditioner if desired.
How often can I safely use this shampoo?
The formula is gentle enough for daily use. Most users incorporate it as their everyday morning or post-workout wash without dryness or irritation.
Do I need a separate conditioner with this shampoo?
A separate conditioner is optional. If your hair is long, dry, or frequently styled, a light conditioner on the ends will help maintain softness. For short hair, the shampoo alone is often enough.
Is this shampoo safe for color-treated or chemically treated hair?
The gentle daily-use formula is generally compatible with color-treated hair. If you have a recent color service or a sensitive scalp, test a small amount first or consult your stylist.
Does it work with all hair types, including curly or textured hair?
Yes. The formula is suitable for normal, fine, and oily hair, and the lightweight, residue-free rinse works for most hair textures. Curly and coily hair may benefit from a follow-up conditioner or leave-in for added moisture.
What is included when I order a single bottle vs. the 2-pack?
A single order includes one 18 fl oz bottle of Dove Men+Care Cooling Relief Shampoo. The 2-pack includes two 18 fl oz bottles. Nothing else is required to start using it.
Is this product tested on animals?
No. Dove Men+Care Cooling Relief Shampoo is PETA-approved cruelty-free and is not tested on animals.
Are there any harsh ingredients I should be aware of?
The formula is designed for daily use on men’s hair and scalps. If you have known sensitivities, review the full ingredient list on the back label or on the brand's site before first use.
What is the difference between a shampoo and a 2-in-1 shampoo-and-conditioner?
A 2-in-1 combines cleansing and conditioning in one step, which is convenient but often leaves hair feeling coated. This standalone shampoo focuses on a clean, residue-free scalp cleanse and pairs with a separate conditioner for more targeted conditioning control.
