Styling gels = hair loss?

[Malin]

I have somewhat long curly hair, the styling gel I'm using Garnier Fructis "Wet Shine" makes my hair look much better but I only use it on weekends and with a moderate amount on the tips of the hair because I'm scared it might accelerate my male pattern baldness, I'm currently around NW2, been on the big 3 for around 3 years.

Should I not be so paranoid and use it daily or do you think there's a very direct correlation btw the use of gel products and hair loss?

:sad:

It won't do anything man.
Unless somehow you are putting huge amounts of pressure on your follicles, it ain't going to do jack ****.
Dht is your enemy.

Agreed.

Maybe try the one from Lamas or Morrocco Method or John Masters...can't be all that bad for hair or scalp, and could even be beneficial.

Great, thanks everyone! @Jacob, I will look for those brands.

Just be sensible about it. If it contains harsh chemicals and you are throwing on tonnes of it, then yes it can lead to losing more hair. But I would try looking for natural alternatives too.
