Hair Gel, Does it really make you bald?

Featured Replies

Ok, I use gel, but only like 2 squirts a day, and i shower it off when i get home. But, ive heard a couple people saying that you will go bald if you use gel, like getting bald at the age of 20. Is this true? Does all gel make you bald? Should I stop using it? Should I stop asking questions? .. :| Anyway.. Post any comments. :-s

Nope, not to my knowledge.

 

 

 

But some gels do flake so it looks like it's snowing dandruff.

I united Mongolia, sent my Mongol Horde across Asia and made it to Europe...

Then my mom vacuumed the room, turned off the Genesis and thus ended my hopes of world conquest.

I don't use gel everyday, but if I'm going out on the town I'll run a wax through my hair. As someone said before, gels tend to flake and looks like you've got dandruff.

No you won't get bald unless the gel burns the hairs off..in which case it wouldn't be allowed to be on sale.

That is absolute balls.

The reason why I cannot tell;

But this I know, and know full well,

I do not love thee, Dr. Fell.

I sincerely doubt it will. As far as i know, most hair-loss goes in our genes so I really doubt hairgel will affect it.

I use... alot of gel, if I dont I look like a mess.

 

 

 

I dont think it does, my hair looks pretty healthy when I have just taken a shower.

I used hair gel for 5(?) years and my hair is as healthy as it was when I first put gel in it. I don't use it anymore because I keep it short enough that there's no need for it. I really doubt it's going to make you go bald..

Hope not.

 

 

 

But everything contributes to something bad now anyway.

With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed.

No, definately not.

 

 

 

But use wax. Gel makes hair look greasy and like you have dandruff. Warm a tiny bit of wax by rubbing hands together, then splash it in your hair and voilÃÆÃâÃâá!

No way, coming from the kid that puts about 3 handfuls of gel in his hair everyday. Depending on the gel you use, you might get flakes. I don't, however.

Fullmetal Alchemist, you will be missed. A great ending to a great series.

Don't believe everything someone else says next time, lol. But at least you asked around and know now. ::'

i really dont know, but i have heard that the alcohol in some brands can damage your hair pholicas (sp) since it dries them up so much, and that if used over a long enough period, not age 20. that it will lead to early balding, but it appears im the only one that seems to think it will lead to early balding, so meh

Yup, and eating crusts makes your hair curly.

 

 

 

No, they put hairs on your chest.

To be honest Antrune, you are a bit of a toff really aren't you?

It's funny cause I can think of no logical reason for hair gel to make anyone bald. I know plenty of people who use gel and all have a full head of hair.

 

 

 

Yet...

 

 

 

My younger brother began putting gel in his hair when he was 10. Some days, He had so much gel in his hair, you could punch a hole in a piece of paper. Most days, if you patted him on the top of the head, his hair wouldn't move.

 

 

 

His hairline started to receede at 16 and now, at 21, he is nearly bald. Hairline is roughly even with his ears and he has a round bald spot on the bag of his head.

 

 

 

Coincidence? I believe so.
