Hair Styling Tips for Older Men to Add Volume 

I felt compelled to leave you a comment and sub. I started going grey at 19, im 38 now and my hair is the same colour , length thickness as yours. Thank you for your tips. You look great Sir, you own it.

Wow these videos are a wake up call to all men over 40. Tremendously useful information that never occurred to me. Thank you!

Great tips. I agree with what you said in a previous video. "Own your gray". I have and I think it can be distinctive and stylish. Love the content of all of your videos.

Thank you for the tips , i would definitely try the product and hair style you're sharing 👍

Well done. Good information and good hair.

You are very fortunate to have a full head of hair. I'm jealous because my hair has thinned on top over the years. Very nice! Thank you, John.

you seriously need more views! This is exactly what was looking for, thanks and keep it up.

Awesome video and good tips! YESS to the power tool!

We have identical hair so I must be rocking it! Keep it up - love the vids

Unfair! You already have great hair

Thanks John. My hair is almost there with enough length on top to look "John Cool". I will probably have to straighten it because I have too many waves and it tends to riptide on me. Thanks for your videos and all the great advice. Your the best!

Love this style!!! Have been looking for a new style, and I think I just found it! ❤️❤️

Another great video! Going longer when older perhaps is an option to try!

Back in my 20's I can remember my stylist having to use thinning shears on my hair. Ahh the good old days. As you said I am lucky to still have hair though it's thinner than it used to be. I now take a Biotin supplement both in an oral form and and a topical that you spray on and massage into your scalp. I also use Nioxin hair products.I do believe they help.( Very little hair in the shower drain anymore) I normally have straight hair but to give the illusion of volume is I get perms. I have always preferred curly hair over straight so it works for me. I leave it straight and short on the back and sides and just perm the top. It also cuts my getting ready time considerably as all I have to do is wet it , use some hair thickening gel, comb it out and I'm ready to roll. BTW I like your beard and hairstyle on your profile pic . When was it taken?

I really enjoy your videos keep it up !!!!

Wow... I was missing this video.... great tips....really need it !!thank you!!

Today I came across your RU-vid channel and subscribed.Really enjoying your style and hair tips..Thank you

Great video. I only have one question. Where to find a barber or better yet a stylist NYC. I need help and have zero ideas where to go.

Great Video. Thank you for posting.

Fantastic I purchased the sea salt, and also that Conair Infiniti Power tool , very informative...👍

Your hairs gr8 thanks for shareing . Always looking to style my hair diffrent for my age at 43yo & sadly thining but i use stuff to trick the eye

Thanks for the hair tips, been thinking of growing it out and the products and process will help, what hairspray do you use?

Love your hair!

I can only watch this in somewhat envy. I had hair many years ago to do things with. Today I have hair again. However, it's on my face. I grew my beard pretty long. It may not be fashionable but I'm enjoying it. I've always enjoyed dressing well. This is why I'm watching this channel... thanks

Never thought of seeing a hairdryer as a power tool! If Snap-On made a hairdryer I'd be using it every day! Great videos

I am really enjoying this channel! Thank you! One tip that I would like to pass on is to have links to the products and clothing etc..that you use. Would be super helpful to click and buy, just like you have for the camera gear you use. Thanks for creating great content! Keep it up!

Hey dude, nice videos. How do you get your hair cut? I mean how do you describe to your barber the exact way you want it cut in a way they will understand? I have a very difficult time getting my hair cut right - short on the back and sides, with longer hair on the front and some big volume going up and forward (like old school Rockabilly hairstyle) Can you help? Also, I have the sea salt spray and that layrite cement, but I never liked it. However, I will try this method with the hair dryer here and see what results I can get. Thanks.

I agree 100% about owning your gray hair. I'd love it if my hair was completely gray (or salt & pepper), but it's not. The gray seems to come in patches, not consistent. I use a gray darkening product only for a more consistent color. Any better suggestion? I love your videos. I made many mistakes not wearing age appropriate clothes before I found your videos.

Great video! I just did this same exact thing a few days ago. Seems like we have more or less the same process. I've never tried using Layrite's Cement Clay as a prestyler though, usually as a finished product. That's interesting, gotta try that. I also used to use the salt spray as a prestyler but I worried about the lack of heat protectant so now I use something that specifically has heat protectant built in. But I love the grit and texture the salt spray gives. Anyway awesome vid!

I use to gel and always have product in my hair over time my hair changed & dryed out but took me 2 years or more to get my hair NICE .🤤

For a long time I always went with the bald fade, even as my hair started to receding around my late 20s. Now I am embracing the Nick Fury look.

Try Olaplex #9. A teardrop of it. Pretty much same effect as three things mentioned here in the video, hair feels natural young for a couple of weeks, definitely less stress on hair.

Nice production value.

Hi can you advise, I am 75 years old, obviously my hair is gray, recently I added color which went wrong, to a gingerish brown, is there any advise to use any product to use, I don't mind a different shade, I wish I could send an attachment, regards Phil

Round brushing or directing hair with thou power tool. I love the style.

BRILLIANT

Hey John. How about a video on sports jackets in terms of places where I can get them and variety of price range and things like that. I’m not looking to spend thousands of thousands of dollars either. Thanks.

I am going to the barbers tomorrow, going for that look!

Absolutely gorgeous hair man 👨‍🦰 I'll soon have hair like yours as I'm having a hair system fitted just as soon as this bloody period of doom is over 😀

I'm very grateful that I still have a decent amount of hair however, my hair is baby fine and even the slightest amount of thinning looks worse than it probably is. It would be nice to see what you'd do and recommend for guys who are not blessed with a head of hair that looks like yours.

Nice hair 👍

Nice hair!

thanks great advice

I started losing my hair 20 years ago but for some reason not got any worse. Your hair looks pretty cool though

Love your face expressions 😘😘😘

I am in the process of growing my hair out, the top of my hair, in front, will pull past the tip of my nose if I pull it down in front. My problem is the longer it gets the harder I find it is to get any volume or lift on top. I would love to have the height that you get, what product(s) do you recommend to help with volume/height? I see the salt spray, and I will try that, but I find that when I put any sort of clay in my hair it really weighs it down. Any suggestions?

loved the video. day, seeing you with the black shirt, the dark color really sets off your light coloring. the other video you did about shoes you are wearing a light colored shirt and you looked washed out. there is something to be said about colors.?. maybe a topic for a future video? you are very fair..I am too. I stay away from white around my face as I get washed out. thanks!

Good tips, mate. I have what my hairdresser once called "Chinese baby" hair, ie it grows arrow straight out of my head in all directions. So without a significant amount of product and effort, it does whatever it wants to. Right, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to buy a hair dryer.

Had no idea about cold button

Um. Good result!

You have cool hair & I like your hairstyle. I think “over 40s” should realize a cool hairstyle brings us into the present & alleviates our age from dating us. I think as we age our hair loses its boyancy & volume thus, older men should go for the shorter hairstyles....which you have done. There are many many cool short hairstyles for men. When I was younger I used to wear a longer puffier hairstyle, now I fade it & have a short messy look on top. Thanks for all you do....

What type of brush do you use?

Nice hair John....you are handsome

Just wanted to know how you get that V shape beard look

What hair dryer and brush are you using? So many options...

Hi, assume your hair is the same lenght on throughout top Maybe this could be the reason you require so many add ons to keep your hair in place Instead, when I had a similar hairstyle, I kept my front hair between 5 - 6 inches from starting point & descending to a lenght of 2 - 3 inches at the back Working in marketing & having to travel a lot in local transports, in 30 - 34 Degree Celcius temperature, heavy rains & humid weather using a Gel / Oil / Spray are no use Instead I use to use water to keep them in place

Ever worry about some of your products clogging your hair follicles that would prevent future growth?? Also, do you take and use special shampoos and vitamins, like Biotin, to promote growth??

Power tool - I like that...

How short are your sides? A 1/2%?

What about less hair? And bald sports?

Sick hair

Maybe you could've featured someone with thinning hair in this video. Most teenagers probably don't have the volume you have naturally.

“Power tool”!

Actually thought it looked better and more youthful kinda messy and falling forward . But your lucky to have nice hair nonetheless.

Riding a motorcycle it's hard to have hair like that. I always use and everyone must use a helmet

the alpha pomade gave you a "blocky" unanatural look imho but otherwise great

Please this is not necessary for you and us to mention what camera, tripod, gimbal etc you have used, this video is all about hair styling so please mention all the products you used on your hairs.

You have beautiful hair, but that sure is a lot of work!

Very cool! But let's be honest, you have the hair of a viking :)

Dear men if you got nice hair don't destroy it with an undercut. Grow it out. Shaved sides is a fad that should gone by now. 😂

Would have rather you demonstrated this on someone actually with the thinning hair condition.

It must be nice...

The faster you come to grips with hair loss, the happier you will be. Shaved my head, the women love to touch , and It as masculine as a man can be. Confidence over the top. And you don't have to primp and product

Dude are you straight? I'm gay with somewhat decent hair at 48 but I never bother to go through all that trouble! But you do look good. Guess I'm just a little sloppy. I do comb my hair after shower but I just prefer not to put anything on it. Well maybe a lil aloe vera gel (supposedly good for your hair) and thats it.

Do this if you want to lose whatever is left of your hair lol!

too many products on your hair.

You have a rare amount of hair for your age.

feel you an older man? i don't thing so

I have a name for men who spend more then ten minutes on their hair and beard and use a blowdryer....what was it again... Oh yeah, i call them ‘ladys’

Too much.
