Hair Loss InformationStyling Glue and Hair Loss? – Hair Loss Information – Balding Blog

Can styling products like LA spikes or Got 2 B glued cause temporary hair loss in younger people? I ask this because i’ve always had a high hairline, and I used the 99c store stuff to spike it, being that its cheap it doesn’t last that long and isnt as heavy in the things that kinda poison your hair slowly. I recently switched to a product by the name of Got2b Glued, this is literally hair cement. For awhile this product worked wonders, but the more I used it the more I noticed hair in the spiky areas falling out.

My hair is more a thin dirty blonde type, like most of my family and we have absolutely no history of balding.

Thank you for reading, please reply soon.

Gels and glues used for styling purposes do not cause hair loss. Before looking to blame a hair product or medication as a cause for hair loss, you must know that the most common form of hair loss in men is genetic androgenic alopecia (AGA), otherwise known as male pattern baldness (MPB).

While certain hair products may not work as well on some individuals, there is really no way for me to tell you that your hair product is causing your hair loss. You need a miniaturization study and a good examination to confirm what is really going on. What you’re seeing is likely just coincidence.

  1. got 2b glued? I started using it as well. at first it was great, like hair cement. but then after about a few months, i too, noticed that i had a few small balding stops on my head, in random areas. i discontinued the product. i dont want to point my finger at the product but i did not change any other hair product that i have been using for a long time. hair loss is genetic? my dad is over 60, full hair of jet black hair, my mom has no signs of hair loss at all. in fact, non of my family members, that i know, have any hair loss.

  2. I too have a theory that a gel I’ve been using was doing the same. For a long time I was using regular clubmen gel. Upon switching to Spike it, by beyond the zone, I started to notice my hair thinning in the top portion of my scalp. I used to use a different gel on the sides than the top. I now don’t use the gel anymore and am waiting to see if the hair maybe kicks into growth again. My parents both also have no baldness, my father 50 years old full black hair, never dyed.

  3. I started using this product and have noticed my hair is starting to fall out. I am 23 years old and have, up until this point, had a full head of hair and have never experienced any type of hair loss. Say what you want about hair products not causing hair loss but I haven’t even finished my tube of Got2B Glued and my hair is falling out!
