Are your hair products making you go bald?
Gels and hairsprays are the worst offenders" it's enough to make you ask: are our'dos worth the danger? Could we truly be jeopardising the longevity of our locks? In a stunning display of putting style above safety, 22 per cent of men recently admitted that despite regularly using gels, sprays and waxes to mould their manes, they are worried that the products are causing them to go bald.
"The only way a product available on the market could damage your hair is if you used a dye to continually recolour your hair. This may make you more likely to develop an allergic reaction to the chemicals used in them and damage your scalp" the male balding process is determined by factors such as genes, hormones, poor health and poor diets". However, there is a chance that dermatitis could develop if irritants are routinely massaged into the scalp - and this can be detrimental to hair growth. That is why it is always advised to just apply these products to the hair rather than the scalp and it is advisable to wash them away in 24 hrs rather with shampoo.
