But hair is worth cancer

>>9055400
so being bald is a cure for cancer?
What if our understanding of chemotherapy is incorrect and it only works because it makes you bald?

yeah and you won't have hair in 40 years

Who the fuck cares. We have much more important problems like growing new teeth for example.

hope i become immune to lung cancer then, since i'll be rocking the hippocrates in a couple of years anyway

>serious comment
the article states that they needed bmp and wnt antagonists which are key to not having canver, so get some skin from a bald chimp and pump it full of bmp, see what happens. they might revolutionize hair grafts

minoxidil and finasterid may work for you. I use the former and have hair growing in all the wrong places now as side effect, but at least the hair on my head is still there.

I confirm minox, use it for 2 years already. Now only once a day and lost all unwanted hair.

I heard good things about minoxidil but i heard finasterid is outright dangerous.

which is why I only use minox, head hair isn't worth risking erectile dysfunction for. by the way minoxidil also seems to work on beards.

Cure baldness and you can be the richest man in the world.

I would grow think long hair and look like a skinny Conan the Barbarian.
