Correct age for men to stop using gel/wax products etc. in their hair?

Bald(ing) people problems, worrying about non-balding guy's full hair.

In that case, what about your dad's dad or uncles?

Otherwise I'd be curious about certain things.

Good point, don’t remember my grandad as he died when I was three, but in pics of him he was certainly follically challenged. I just put that down to the copious amounts of whisky that he enjoyed, and that eventually killed him.

Diet can be a major factor. I assume yours has to be quite good so shouldn't impact you.

Genetic traits can skip generations but it could be any number of things these days with all of the chemicals people use, or it could be a stressful life style etc. Worrying about it thinning probably won't help.

Tbh, it’s not that good at all. I eat a lot of processed foods and takeaways.

16, as you leave school leave childish stuff behind.

Probably 30.

My dad is 70 and has a full head of hair. Still looks great at his age. Me and my brother are 38 and 25 and we’re both thinning badly.

Makes no sense.

Makes sense dude, just think of Harry and Will, Will balding like Chuck, Harry a ginger and a full head of hair.

Yer Ma was getting a fun sized mars bar from a rival baldy confectioner

Gel stopped being cool about 20 years ago. Age has nothing to do with it.

Makes no sense. However, my dad has only ever used water to style his hair, while me and my bro have used gels, pastes, mousses and all sorts.

Just a Coincidence?

Are you sure he's really your dad?

 

[flea.rider]

my granddad used brylcreem till he died 81 .. always looked good ..

Glad I use it for me (well technically clay, don’t like “wet look”) and not to look “cool”. 35 here and still going without losing any hair, and only the odd 1 or 2 grey starting to appear.

An age limit?

As long as you have a decent head of hair why not use it?

[No1newts]

I really get irritated by it being called "product" no idea why

Do what you want for as long as you want to, simple.

 

[Participant]

If you still have good hair, use stuff in it. If not, cut it short enough that you don't need product.

Age is irrelevant to product use imo, it's more about the style that suits different ages.

A 20 year old and a 70 year old might both have a full head of thick hair, but one might use clay to spike it up and have a skin fade or whatever the kids do. The old gent might have a scissor cut with a side parting and a tiny bit of wax at the barber.

Norwood 0 life is great.

 

[bartledvd]

No idea as the option was taken from me by the time i hit my early 20’s. Stupid virility making me bald

 

[craigyhay]

no age limit, unless you use a lot of product then prob about 30

 

[Lopéz]

39, no balding, no grey. If I don't use any kind of gel/wax/clay/whatever my hair looks ridiculous.
