Did you know your hair changes as you get older?

DID YOU KNOW YOUR HAIR CHANGES AS YOU GET OLDER?

That's why, in a recent Telegraph article, top stylist Matt Mulhall (who coifs the crops of Jude Law & Adrien Brody) said:

"I think a mistake men make is not assessing their hair at different stages in their life"

It’s simple, really. Your hair changes – texture shifts, thickness thins, behaviour becomes bloody-minded. What worked in your twenties might leave you looking tragic in your forties. The products, techniques, and styles that once seemed effortless need rethinking as your thatch evolves.

WHY HAIR ASSESSMENT MATTERS

Your hair goes through phases throughout your life – hormonal chaos, lifestyle changes, and natural ageing all mess with how your mane looks and feels.

Some men experience thinning, others notice their hair becoming coarser or more resistant to styling. Sticking with the same stale routine is like wearing shoes from your teenage years – its uncomfortable and damages your credibility.

The key is adapting your approach. That means reassessing not just your cut, but the products you put on your hair, and how you use them.

THE TELEGRAPH'S RECOMMENDATION

The article recommends OJW Blackseed Wax as a versatile styling solution that works across different hair types and life stages. Here's what they highlighted:

For short hair: Wax provides strong, shiny hold – perfect for polished styles that don't look plastic or painfully stiff.

Technique matters: Use a small amount, applied to the roots (not the ends) of your hair. Maximum hold where you need it most, without the greasy, over-gunked look.

For longer hair: Use sparingly to keep frizz at bay and maintain definition without sacrificing movement or natural texture.

WHY BLACKSEED WAX WORKS

What makes Blackseed Wax particularly effective is its formulation – it's designed to work with your hair, not smother it into submission. The blackseed oil base nourishes while it styles, providing lasting hold without the crunch, flaking, or residue of lesser products.

Whether dealing with finer follicles that need volume, a thick thatch that needs control, or ageing hair that needs both hold and care, the right wax adapts. Its about working smarter, not harder – and definitely don't slather on more to compensate for using the wrong product.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Great hair isn't about battling what your barnet. It's about understanding your hair at every stage and choosing products that enhance rather than mask. As Matt Mulhall suggests, regular reassessment is key.

Take a moment to really look at your hair. Has it changed? Is your current routine still serving you? If not, it’s time to sort it out.
