Is getting your haircut after 30 really that ageing?

I keep reading this on here. Am currently debating cutting off my tedious bob as am so bored of it. But have also hit my late thirties and am feeling old and shit about myself already and don't want an 'ageing' haircut!

I remember years I had some tigi bedhead manipulator which was a lot lighter than wax. Has anyone tried that?

Ah shucks guys thanks. I'm so chuffed with it and glad I went very short at the front now. It's all messed up today and looks awesome. Hurrah to short hair!

Looks fantastic! You can have fun playing around with it now and trying out different products in it. I like pixies with a deep side parting and pushed strongly over to the side. Or ruffled up and messy.

I know you said you didn't care about looking pretty but you do! It really suits you.

Result, twoboys!

And what is it with boots insisting that hairvwax, texture putty etc are for men? Eejits.

Ta da! A hairdresser that listens! I love it. Cow flick but is going to be slightly tedious but no more so than blow drying a bob. I don't feel less feminine.
Can anyone recommend a good product for taming my cowslick which won't stick my fine hair down to my head?
Thanks for the chat about hair and listening to me moan on here, it's really helped."

That looks really great! Miles better than the previous hairdresser's effort.
Oh - and you look very feminine.Smile

something like this
I used to use a Toni and Guy one which I loved. Then they stopped making it, I didn't realise they did a mens one.

Tigi wax sticks are meant to be good.

Ohhh they are both lovely, looks great 👍
I use a fat wax stick, I think I got it from the mens bit in Boots.
