I'm sure there were anchient chinese herbal treatments, etc,. stuff that predates recorded history.

I don't know what the first attempt at a hairloss product was, but I bet that behind that hairloss sufferer was a mother who told him "see, I TOLD you that all that masturbation would make you lose your hair!"

Interesting that webboards like this are still full of mom's advice. Some go full circle, and most of just stay put.

Factually speaking, the first 'snake oil' hairloss treatment was, well, um, snake oil.

However, I can still hear that Neanderthal mom, doing dishes in the family cave, yell in their garblediguk language to her young son.. "Nathan, stop whacking off RIGHT NOW. You know that if you keep doing that you will lose all your hair, just like your loser dad! And, don't forget to take out the garbage before going to sleep!"

Must say I'm impressed that you can still recollect this event all these Millenia later.

Ah yes.. I remember those good old days. I had a nice cave in France, fur clothes, no mortgage. Even more impressive is the fact that I can still speak Neanderthal garbledegook. I hear these so-called 'experts' look at the cave paintings and make analyses like 'this here is a hunt scene' while I chuckle to myself about how far off they are.

Oh, so you were one of that fancy lot that swanned around the Med in designer furs whilst we scratched out a living in the British tundra hacking off chunks of Wooly Mammoth for the export market.

Yes that's almost as funny as hearing each successive theory on why the Neanderthal died out - I doubt that they'll ever get that one right.
