This idea may apply only to more desperate individuals; but at least it works.
The Home Hair Regrowing Kit comes in a box. In the box is a hammer, plaster, and surgical bandages.
1) Shave your head. If you are already bald, skip this step.
2) Pick the area on your head that suffers the most
baldism, swing the hammer, and fracture the skull at that point. Be careful to not puncture the skull or compress the brain too much.
3) Apply a cast to your entire head.
4) Remove the cast after a month or two.
5) Voila! Thick, black hair where none had grown before.
6) If the new hair disappears, simply repeat.
This works, additionally, on any other part of the body where you desire to grow hair, and have a bone.
Future kits could be less painful. I'm open to suggestions. To those of you who have not broken bones, try it out. It's fascinating.

is the cure in the splitting or the banging? |

I don't know why hair starts growing. Maybe it's due to an increase of 'attention' due to the local area being repaired? You get more types of cells arriving there. Some of them carry whatever is needed to trigger hair growth. |
|
| |
I don't know if this is the same with women as with men. I haven't known many women with broken bones. |

[+] for correctly guessing how hair regrows in areas of trauma. |
|
| |
It may not be necessary to traumalize the
skull. Arms and legs which are kept in
plaster for bone-healing usually become
hairy over the entire cast-covered area,
not just the area near the fracture. My
daughter broke her arm twice in
succession, and had a distinctly
orangutanal arm for some time thereafter.
It doesn't last (fortunately). |
|
| |
I'd guess a viola could be included in the kit as well. This could be played on the moment of removing the plaster cast. |
|
| |
It would be very dramatic. |
|
| |
//I think it has to do with muscle
wastage
reducing the surface area of the arm /
leg
and not the number of follicles// Not
really. Even with considerable wastage,
surface area does not decrease much.
There's just a lot more hair growth
(coupled with, probably, lower hair
turnover as you mentioned). |
|
| |
Also, it's not so much new hairs
growing, as the existing hairs becoming
coarser and longer. So, this may not
work for people with especially high
cranial albedos. |
