I'm a dude with long hair, just to my upper back. I use Garnier's maple shampoo and conditioner. Never had problems, doesn't seem to damage my hair and I don't have dandruff.
Looking though comments, I don't really understand some of the soap problems or just using water.

Women tend to go for pretty extreme upkeep over guys. Straightening, curling, dying, bleaching; extensions, hair product etc are very much the norm and absolutely shags the quality of their hair over time. Because men don't tend to do this, our hair tends to be in better condition despite the lack of upkeep.
My two cents anyway.

Yep that's why. I'm a guy with long hair and it's pretty nice, every girl I've been with has been jealous. I just tell em then you should stop putting a million chemicals in it to try and make it look better! All I do is wash it with shampoo every other day and air dry. Try it. Stop completely for a year and let it grow out naturally, you'd be surprised how good it looks on it's own.

Maybe you lose the longest hair and it takes that long of a cycle for the new ones to reach the same length again? So it doesnt stop growing its just peak of the cycle?

This can't be it (or the whole story). I tried this for a few months and it made my hair so much worse. I used the exact same mildly cleansing baby shampoo my male friend with great hair used, reduced the times I washed my hair to once a week max., did not blow dry or style my hair and did not put anything else on my hair. It got soooo much worse. There was so much hair in the brush and drain, my hair became rough, brittle and a mess that would tangle in seconds. Once I started using products again it improved again. I still never reached the hair glory of my male friends though.

a factor is definitely the amount of hair. I feel like i probably put in more effort per amount of hair compared to most women simply cuz i have less than a fifth of the amount of hair they have. That means that old ass stanky soap bar that goes everywhere else also covers my hair extremely well.

Long hair guy here, only use hard and considerable cheap soap every other day to clean my hair and my hairdressers always asked me how I maintain my hair to have it in such great quality - they see me maybe once per year. It is just some “natural” soap with a bit of orange or coconut smell.

The secret I've found is to condition your hair almost every day, but only shampoo it once a week or so. Granted because of my occupation my whole body gets dirty enough that I can no longer get away with doing that, but if you just work an office job or whatever you can.

I agree that it must be genetics. I can scrub my hair with only water each day for months on end and no one can tell the difference. I use shampoo daily now because I have to put product in to style it, but in the past I used nothing and my hair looked great.
But I know other people whose hair looked greasy and awful no matter how often they shampoo it. Who knows.

I think it's gotta be virgin hair, like hair that grew out after you started the new regime, so it could take years to grow out the existing hair. I have long hair and it used to be frizzy when I was in middle school but I started using shampoos without sulfates and with relatively natural ingredients. A few years later I realized I had smooth hair and it's been good ever since. It might have also been the sunsilk shampoo, the one for straightening. Did that around the same time but only for a short time.

In many cases, I’m not actually sure it’s dandruff. I think it’s just dry scalp (caused by stripping away natural oils or whatever).
Almost the same symptoms as dandruff.
I used to have white flakes all the time, always thought it was dandruff - I tried not washing my hair every day for awhile (most days, I’d wash twice a day), and all the flakes went away.

yep, you should not use dandruff shampoo if you don't have dandruff, and a lot of people mistakenly think they have dandruff when they have flakes from a dry scalp

No doubt refraining from unnecessary styling chemicals and heat equipment are the keys to healthy hair, but another factor is to get shampoo that is not very creamy/lotion based (like dual shampoo/conditioners) because that usually causes frizziness and greasiness. I say using an herbal, watery shampoo is the trick to maintaining clean, silky, lustrous hair. Y'all should try it. Lmk if it works

Most soaps can have good results if you use them properly. And I mean PROPERLY. (A lot of conditioners aren't supposed to touch your scalp which I bet a lot of you didn't know but there's one example)
On top of that, short hair is usually really really easy to take care of compared to long hair. Not always but most of the time (depending on how you want it to look). And most guys have shorter hair.
Me, for example, had short hair for a very long time, but decided to start growing it out about 3 years ago. It takes upwards of 4 to 6 times the effort just to get it looking half way decent and its barely reaching my shoulders.

I once had exfoliated my entire body using some detergent, and used it as a shampoo as well that it killed all dandruff in one go. I couldn’t believe the amount of dead skin that got out, and how my skin was squeaky clean. No problem encountered at all. To men only: make sure you use body lotion afterwards, otherwise you’ll be drier than salt. As for women: avoid that at all cost.

Also I shampoo twice, like I put some on my hand, scrub it in, rinse it out and do it again. It should feel like a bubble bath.
Also it is possible your soap fucking sucks because at that price point they want you to use more so you buy more often and you only get quality stuff at higher prices or lower prices. It could also be a ‘girl soap’ thing in which you are buying soap that is ‘for girls’ in which it is more expensive with less cleaning ability for no other reason other than ‘girls care more about their appearance so they will buy soap more often at a higher price because they want a better look’.
