SUPERSTITION

IF YOU HAVE CURLY HAIR AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT, YOU WILL
NEVER GO BALD.

Submitter comment: MY MOTHER WOULD TELL ME THIS BECAUSE SHE AND I BOTH HAVE
CURLY HAIR. SHE ALWAYS SAYS THIS BECAUSE HER FATHER HAD
VERY CURLY HAIR AND DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A RECEDING HAIRLINE
WHEN HE DIED. WE BOTH BELIEVE IN THIS SUPERSTITION.
