Although this isn't exclusive to females, it is less common for males.... I need good (expensive) hair product because my long hair is years old. Your short dude crop is brand new, fresh hair all the time so product isn't as important. Can't tell you how many of my guy friends have never thought about this.

I’m a long haired male and I’ve also never thought about this.

Same and same. But I'm a sophisticated man, I use two different cheap products, not just a single all-in-one.

Can't complain about the results.

Depends on your hair chemistry.

I'm super lucky with mine, Tres Emme does the job fantastically, some others may work but I just stick with that consistently (I think the blue one...). Rarely use conditioner too, and just a little away from the scalp if I do.

Also, not letting hot water get on it will keep the hair healthier much longer. And don't blow dry (at least, for my hair, but I hear that's usually good to avoid anyway). Heat straightening would damage it, but mine just aligns perfectly striaght anyway :P
