Now I know a lot of men, from all walks of life. White collar professionals, blue collar workers, students, bald headed, hairy…you name […]
Did you know that pharmaceutical companies spend more than $200 million a year on trying to cure baldness. In fact I have also heard rumblings that figure is upwards of $300 million. Honestly, I think that amount is way too high. We do not die from baldness. This is about […]

This man was treated like a rock star (before there were rock stars) in the Romantic period. I suppose, we could actually consider him to be the world’s first rock star….he was definitely idolized […]
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 […]

Special shampoos that “unclog” hair follicles can prevent baldness.
Wearing a hat or helmet can cause hair loss.
Brushing or massaging the scalp can reduce hair loss.

I found these results from a study out of Stanford University interesting. It seems that silhouettes are pretty useful in determining a person’s general characteristics. “The scientists said male silhouettes were classified as male 83.3 percent of the time and female silhouettes were classified as female 55.7 percent of the time.” Why the discrepancy? Researchers […]
