Healthy Hair Gel or Moose?

Question

Hey,
I have a little question. I am a guy and recently I decided that I am going to let my hair to grow. Well, the problem is that my hair curly and therefore unless it is wet, I look like a "lion". Mostly the sides of my head are the parts where the hair tends to stick out. I am trying no to use any hair gel or spray or moose since it damages my hair.
I have been using those cheap hair mooses (obviously not healthy for my hair) and in a period of about 2 years I started seeing that my hair started falling out (thinning) I would say. For the first time I thought that it might have been a hereditary, however after looking at every person in my family blind line, no one had any hair receding. Therefore, I thought that my gel might be the cause for my problem. And to my surprise I was right, ever since I stopped using those cheap hair gels, my hair started slowly growing back. And at the current time I have got most of my hair back, although not most of it.

However, now I would like to go back to using hair gel, but I am willing to pay more and get ones that would actually be healthy for my hair and help it grow, adding shine to it. I do like my hair curling up, but only when it shines, not when it is dry and puffy. So, could you please advice me any hair gel or moose that would be healthy.

P.S. the reason I think my hair started falling out was because it would make my stick in one place not letting it to breath... don't know if that is a right judgement.

P.S.S. Sorry for the spelling it is "Mousse"

Answer 1

When you're looking for a hair product, gel OR mousse, although it usually makes a difference in the price, the first thing you want to check are the ingredients. If there's a high alcohol content in the product, it will dry out your hair which will lead to damage and eventually falling out. There are products, you'll find, that have little to NO alcohol in them at all. These would be the ones to use. And just a little tip, use a leave in conditioner or something to provide a barrier between your hair and the product. Good luck!

Answer 2

I love AIG products you can get them at your local salon. They cost a little more but very worth it. Also look at your moms side for baldness, because it is passed down from the mother.
Good luck with your hair.

Answer 3

Stop at an Aveda salon or shop-- the Phomolient is very light, and there is another Aveda product that is a paste (can't think of name), that separates & holds, for getting a "chunky" look.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Try Pureology. They have really good products. Kinda pricey but good.

I would not use Moose on my hair, as that would be waaaaaaay to heavy. I would however, use Mouse.
