With modern technology offering us so many "cures" for baldness from spray on hair to hair plugs it is just too hard to decide which is the most hillarious. Then again there are all the old cures like the toupee, or the comb over, I can't decide which is funnier. :p

I am going to attempt to make a poll hopefully this works!

When I was a kid, my parents had lots of parties that tended to the drunken revel side of things ;) and I remember that at one of them, one of my parents' friends (who was bald) ended up with a tub of potato salad upended on his head. He swore for years after that it made hair grow back :D

The hulk hogan hair style is where you compensate for the lack of hair on the top of your head by growing the hair long on the back and sides. You know like hulk hogan. This option also includes the music producer hairstyle which is where you are bald on top but you have a pony tail hanging down the back.

Im torn between the first three, but plugs are so obviously fake and so very expensive so they take the cake.

The only reason men do crap like this is because of insecurity about what women think of them, or just pure ego. I think women would be more attracted to a man who is comfortable with the way his hair looks even if it is thining, then some egoist who spends a ton of money to deny the fact that his hair is disappearing.

Yeah, I am destined to lose my hair before I turn 28. Stupid genetics. i don't worry about it too much though. I heard from some ladies that they like men who are going bald; they have a higher sex drive or something.

Anyway, hair in a can is the saddest thing to see

Me and some drinkin' buddies used to laugh our asses off at the spray-on infomercials. Had to vote for that travesty. A combover seemed respectable after that faux pas.
Baldness is caused by genes that effect the bodie's conversion of testosterone into dehydrotestosterone. I've heard DHT can cause both increased libido and impotancy, so I guess it's a flip of the coin for them.

His comb over has to be one of most traumatising things I've ever seen.

I saw him a while ago on the Apprentice standing next to a helicopter. His hair was lifted up by the rotors wind. It didn't seem like he was bald.

And Bruce Willis. He's pretty thin on top, but it doesn't seem to be harshing his mellow at all with the ladies.
Although I've heard that in studies, short and/or bald men have a major disadvantage in the dating arena. So who knows?

Well, admittedly, Patrick Stewart and Bruce Willis are likely the exception rather than the rule. But still. Patrick Stewart has never pretended not to be bald, and he is one sexy man.
