    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.

      If the topic is undesired head hair loss, “bad” appropriately describes the genes that may contribute to that. The discussion is limited by the context to avoiding hair loss, it isn’t a universal conversation on cosmetics

        They could always make the research and processes public domain, so no one person can unilaterally profit.

    Can’t speak to the effectiveness of the baldness cure, but the model in the stock photo has cured ED, I am sure.
