To Improve Hair Growth
If little children fail to show proper growth of hair
on the head, apply castor oil at night and let the child
sleep in a cap. Rub the oil into the scalp. Do so
thoroughly. In the morning, wash the head of the child
with a good soap. Repeat until hair begins to grow.

If you want to grow your hair long take the hair out of your
brush and set it afire; chant "More hair, more hair", and your hair
will grow long and beautiful.

I heard from someone at the hospital that I work at that the
reason many men have receding hairlines is that they wear
baseball caps quite often and that the constant pulling off of
these caps over the years can cause the man to pull out his hair
in a way that it will not ever grow back in the forehead area.
