Unless they are embarking on GLT, the ‘beauty routine’ of a man can be pretty low maintenance – so having the right products is essential. If you’re a reader of Indulge you know one of our favorite brands for men is Axe. Not only are the products high-quality, they smell great and are extremely affordable.

From Just Clean Shampoo to Just Soft Conditioner or Clean and Control 2 in 1, the men’s shampoos and conditioners have a rich, masculine scent. They leave your hair soft and clean and smell great when used. One of the biggest differences between Axe and regular shampoo is some of Axe's formulas are created specifically for cleaning hair of styling products. One of our favorites for that is the Deep Clean Shampoo – find out how to get it free below.

If you want a hint of fragrance, go for the body spray. Our favorite is Instinct, which features the rich smell of leather – but you really can’t go wrong with any of them (used in moderation.) Axe Deodorant Body Sprays kill odor-causing bacteria and smell terrific.

Axe also has an impressive line of styling products that leave hair in place, but not sticky or gummy. Depending on your style, we like the Shaggy look- great for the surfers and snowboarders (Shaun White- we recommend this for your hair). Another of our favorites is the Refined, for the clean-cut look (used daily by my lovely financial analyst fiance) and we also love Charged styling putty for the spiked up look. The spiked hair-look is one of the hardest styles to achieve without having a sticky, crunchy feel. This is a great product for getting that look while maintaining a smooth, soft texture.

In honor of our love for Axe products, we are giving away (3) Charged Styling Putty and (3) Deep Clean Shampoo Hair Scrub- to de-glue and remove oil. Just send me an email at Indulge@Captivate.com with your name, address and age (must be a US resident with aUS Shipping address over age 18- full rules can be seen below this post) along with a line or two about the best, funniest or craziest hairstyle you’ve ever had. The winners will be chosen at random on March 9, 2010.
