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 […]
The bald look is in! According to hairstylists and male fashionistas everywhere, going completely bald is called “going NBA”. As this was the look popularized by Michael Jordan and other basketball stars in the 90’s ( I must be out of touch, if I have just heard about this now).

Ever heard of the composer Franz Liszt? A man so incredibly talented, that it was equaled only by his vanity. 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 […]

The “HairMax LaserComb” Coming to a Walgreen’s near you!
