That is, until this new wave of hair replacement advertisements came along. Suddenly, I started feeling all weird again. I could feel my bald patch again. In the advertisements, all these cool dudes are just taking a pill and presto, they have a full head of hair.

Okay, so look, obviously, I'm not alone in wanting to go back to a full head of hair. The history of hair replacement goes back thousands of years. In fact, it was around the year 4000 BCE that ancient Egyptians rubbed their heads with a concoction of ground-up dates, dog paws, and donkey hooves.

I'm not sure why specifically they believed animal feet cured baldness, but in general, people losing their hair will believe anything and try anything. Like another Egyptian cure found in a medical text called the Eber's Papyrus, which instructed people to boil porcupine hair and press it to their scalp for four days. Were they trying to grow the porcupine hair? I don't understand. No.

I don't know, but I'm guessing most people would take porcupine hair over no hair. In fact, I bet it would look sharp. Ah, isn't that kind of the point? Indeed. Porcupine hair seems tame compared to what the father of Western medicine, Hippocrates, smeared on his big brain case. Opium, horseradish, pigeon droppings... Beetroot and spices.

Right. So in a way, it was a cure. I'm also guessing that once you've rubbed enough opium into your scalp, you'll stop caring about your hair. Yeah. You know what? This was an okay treatment for baldness. Hippocrates did, by the way, tap into the true root of hair loss. For real. He noticed that eunuchs never go bald, and he wasn't wrong to notice it. He was onto something.

I don't know which guy. There's a guy that got his penis cut off. He's got hair, I think. It's been a while since I've seen it.
