If you have a couple of minutes to spare (ummm 10 min will do) you might want to consider playing around on this site.
Hairmixer lets you become the stylist to all of the A-list Hollywood celebrities- you can mix and match their hairstyles-or see what their styles will look like on you. I combined the face of Tom Cruise and the hair of Will Smith, and came up with this. I was looking for a look that Tom Cruise might be able to pull off. Isn’t he adorable, yet menacing?

This miracle hair growth fez was profiled in the 1928 edition of Popuar Mechanics. Apparently, you only needed to wear it for 10 minutes a day for 30 days -and voila instant new hair. Isn’t it the coolest. Its just a hat. And you just wear it for 10 minutes. That’s it. If it didn’t work in 30 days, you simply told the inventor – that his fez didn’t work – and you got your money back.
Don’t you kind of wish you lived during 1928. Makes that instant hair in a …read more

I am cleaning my house today….giving everything a real good clean – before the repair people come in a day or two. I have been going through everything, and throwing things out.

 I would rather be bald than have to maintain (not to mention carry around) all of this hair.  The women in this picture, are the famed Sutherland Sisters.  The “Seven Wonder Sisters” climbed to great-ish amounts of fame in the late 1800’s when they were singers with the Barnum and Bailey circus.
I really hope their stylist was paid a fortune. If you want to know more about these sisters (including stats about their hair) go here via neatorama (and picture source).
By the way, these women were involved in the making and selling  (perhaps only selling) of a hair tonic.

Is Rogaine or Propecia not doing what you expect it to? What about hair plugs – are they looking a little unnatural? You may want to consider an actual scalp transplant. That’s right, you read that correctly. I said scalp transplant.
Thanks to successful surgeries such as a face transplant, and immunosuppressant drugs – a scalp transplant may be available in the not too distant future. I believe its being developed for burn victims and similar injuries, however anything can be yours, if enough money is involved.

Last week on Oprah, a very special episode was aired. For the first time in 22 years, the audience was completely comprised of men. I know…unheard of, right. The reason for this was, Dr Mehmet Oz hosted the show entitled 300 Men Ask Dr Oz. One of the subjects discussed on this show was baldness.
According to Dr Oz (from The Oprah Winfrey Show),
Hair loss happens when two hydrogen molecules DHT (dihydrotestosterone) attach to testosterone. This poisons the hair follicles and causes them to change from making normal hair to peach fuzz like material, which is …read more
