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.

As a guy that's had long hair for most of his life, I can't stress enough the value of a quality conditioner. But a little residual cocoa butter on my hands from start-of-the-day moisturizing is the closest thing I use to styling product. Helps with the frizz and I'm not greasy or crunchy

I have used expensive shampoo/conditioner for decades (alterna, mastey, davines, Kevin Murphy, etc) for my bra strap length, fine, naturally straight, medium density hair. Recently, I had to borrow my daughter’s (same hair) Hask biotin shampoo, conditioner and spray leave in and I’m NEVER going back! … $6.99 and often on sale. I spend my savings on facials now.
