Domestic Nanogen crisis - will DH need saving from himself?

10 replies

BoffinMum · 13/02/2011 19:28

DH asked me to get him some Nanogen stuff for his thinning hair, which has a great source of concern to him and No Laughing Matter for our entire marriage. Hence I shelled out north of £50 for what looks to me like a shaker thing with gravy browning in, two mahoosive eye liners and some manly hairspray stuff. I have just applied it for him and indeed, it looks like I could have used gravy browing or cinammon and my eyebrow pencil and saved us a lot of money. But even worse, dear readers, DH absolutely loves it, says he looks like himself again, and is planning on going to work like that tomorrow. I have a number of concerns.

  1. What if it rains? Will he have the mother of all panda eyes?
  1. When he goes to yoga tomorrow will he end up with a little pile of dust on the mat every time he lies down?
  1. It looks rather patchy to me - will people think he has got some sort of medieval disease?

I am wondering if I have misunderstood the application process. Has anyone else got any experience of this stuff?

DH now rather sad and disappointed, as he reckons he has not enough hair for the powder to cling on to properly.

Oh dear.

you need to have a fair amount of hair left for this stuff to be effective. Its actually better for women who have issues with thinning hair IMO.

The spray will hold it in place, but it needs to be applied carefully in the first place. its electrostatically charged so shake the tub well first then you need to tap it against the scalp.

if he hasn't got a lot of hair don't let him, he will look an idiot

Please tell me this is a joke pleaaaaaaaaseGrin

We washed it off him in the end. It did look daft. Then he had a bit of a rant about age. The evening did not end as well as I would have liked.

oh dear, poor bloke. can't he embrace being a silver fox? my husband went grey in his early twenties, I think he's HOT!

BoffinMum · 14/02/2011 09:47

Well I think DH is hot but he lost his hair pretty early on and doesn't like it at all.
