No joke to be bald

Losing your hair is not funny - particularly when the before treatment and after treatment pictures do not belong to the same individual. 

These two blokes could be close family, but they are definitely not the same person.

The next piece is a fascinating reminder that technology and vanity were cuddly to each other seventy years ago. Just like today.

Instead of the laser powered light of the 21st Century, back then you had alternating pressure and vaccum treatment. WTF?

You could even get a treatment at the barber's for your balding head. Ironic.
