• Hair Loss Has Its Perks – Tulsa Restaurant Discounts On “Bald Tuesdays”

  In Articles, Hair Loss / By The Bald Truth / 3 February 2010

  Hair Loss can be devastating, but at least balding guys wont starve in Tulsa Oklahoma.

  Customers of the Arizona Mexican Restaurant, at 6605 South Lewis Avenue in Tulsa, who meet their “balding criteria” receive between 10 to 30 percent off of their meals every Tuesday.

  The brain child of Heyka Zambrano, the restaurant’s owner, Bald Tuesdays has been in effect for about a year and was implemented as a way to increase business,  which is apparently working.

  “Gentlemen come in and sometimes they wear their hats.  They come to pay and take the cap off and I say, what do you think, is this worth 30 percent?”

  Well, we guess it’s better than a kick in the ass!

   

• And The Survey Says…Hair Loss Sucks!

  In Hair Loss / By The Bald Truth / 1 February 2010

  According to a national survey conducted by Wakefield Research on behalf of the makers of Rogaine, Americans have a “surprising” lack of understanding concerning the prevalence, incidence, causes, and how to effectively treat hair loss. The survey concludes that more than 75 percent of Americans incorrectly cite stress as a leading cause of hair loss, while more than one-third think wearing a hat and over-styling hair can cause common male and female pattern baldness.

  So what if obesity is considered one of America’s biggest killers, leading to heart disease, diabetes and strokes? The stats say it all, “40 percent of married Americans would rather their spouse be overweight than bald!”

Hair loss sufferers make up the largest demographic of all human kind, yet in our opinion, the makers of Rogaine still can’t find a way to effectively educate hair loss consumers about a product that actually works.

• Silvio Berlusconi’s Hair Transplant – Apparently Bill Gates Doesn’t Approve

  In Articles, Hair Transplant / By The Bald Truth / 29 January 2010

  This week, Bill Gates made it perfectly clear that he was unimpressed with Silvio Berlusconi’s foreign aid policy, declaring that the Italian Prime minster was on his “shame list.” Fair enough, since an annual report published by Gates’ foundation accused Italy of being “uniquely stingy among European donors.” Italy’s foreign aid budget was 0.11% of its GDP in 2009, half of what it was the year before. Even so, was it really necessary for the Microsoft founder turned philanthropist, to take a cheap shot at Berlusconi’s decision to have a hair transplant?

  In a moment of unabashed chastisement, Gates took the opportunity to tie his criticism of the prime minster’s foreign policy to Berlusconi’s personal decision to shell out  his own money for a hair transplant.

  “Rich people spend a lot more money on their own problems, like baldness, than they do to fight malaria,” Gates told the Süddeutsche Zeitung.
