TEST-MAXXING IN THE SHOWER — YOUR SHAMPOO MIGHT BE LOWERING YOUR T
Most Guys Never Read the Label
You train hard, eat clean, wear organic cotton … then wash your head with a chemical cocktail.
Common shampoos are loaded with sulfates, parabens, and synthetic fragrance molecules that can mimic estrogen and wreck your skin’s natural oils.
If you’re serious about Test-Maxxing, it starts at the top—literally.
Ingredients to Ditch
-
SLS / SLES (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) – harsh detergent, strips oils, raises scalp irritation.
-
Parabens – linked to hormonal imbalance.
-
Phthalates – found in “fragrance,” disrupt testosterone.
-
Silicones – fake shine, real buildup.
What Real Men Should Use
-
Organic shampoos made with coconut-based cleansers.
-
Essential-oil scent only – no artificial perfume.
-
Plant extracts like rosemary, peppermint, or tea tree—stimulate circulation and natural sebum balance.
Rule #1 of Test-Maxxing: If you can’t pronounce it, don’t rub it into your scalp.
The HeyDad Way
