Hair loss is caused by a multitude of factors, including aging, stress, hormonal imbalances and bad genetics.

“Bad” genetics?! Damn, that’s a little fucking judgmental for what is ultimately just a cosmetic issue.

It’s not just cosmetic. Hair keeps the heat from escaping the head so quickly and, more importantly, it helps keep the head from getting sunburned and skin cancer.

You’re going to tell me that people are applying Rogaine so they don’t have to apply sunscreen? Hm yeah that is a well thought out argument when Rogaine is 10x more expensive.

No. The male hair loss remedy industry is entirely built around cosmetic vanity, not keeping warm.

I can sit here and tell you how hair can be host to different parasites or impair your vision while driving or get caught and pulled into power tools and is therefore a bad survival trait.

But let’s not be absolute morons.
