Finally, a fairytale ending for a timeless ‘hairytale’ ?!
Barring phallus and breast size, nothing in the history of mankind has interested, mystified, intrigued and puzzled humans about personal appearance more than human hair… or the lack of it. Annals have pointed to some bizarre and weird methods to hide male and female baldness. Chinese used to wear horses’ tails on their heads. Greeks would eat hair to get hair. Some tribes also believed that washing hair with certain animal’s blood would revitalise their thinning hair. Then came the wigs, which were almost patronised by Queen Elizabeth I in 1600s in her court with her legendary red and curly wig. Since then, till early 20th century, almost all men and women of prestige and power customarily wore wigs in the English and the French courts.
And in our times, came the resurrection in the form of hair weaving and hair transplant. Though on the pricy side, it did provide means by which harrowed people could conceal their receding hairlines. However, it was a curative measure rather than preventive.
But what has come by means of a study conducted by Bonn University has come as a whiff of fresh (h)air. A gene has been recognised by dermatologists in Bonn that plays an all important role in the prevention of revival of hair. By inhibiting its growth, regeneration of hair is not just a possibility; it’s a damn near probability.
