Gooch and Warne's bald-cure ad ban

Hair-replacement adverts featuring cricket legends Shane Warne and Graham Gooch have been banned by an advertising watchdog.

The Australian spinner and former England captain have been featured prominently in advertising for the Advanced Hair Studio for several years, usually with close-ups of Gooch's head in 'before and after' condition following strand-by-strand replacement.

But a new advert that also featured the company's laser hair treatment has fallen foul the Advertising Standards Agency, with the watchdog ruling that it is misleading.

The advert - featuring a grinning Warne with the line "I stopped worrying about my hair when I heeded the Warne-ing signs and saw Advanced Hair Studio" - was deemed to imply that the laser procedure would produce the same hair replacement results as the strand-by-strand method.

The shine was taken off the advert when an examination of the bald facts showed this not to be the case, and the advertisement - unlike Warne and Gooch - will need a bit of a trim before it can appear again.

Shane MacGowan uses Guinness to combat hair loss

he Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan has admitted he has a strange way of battling male pattern baldness, alcohol! Not only is the “Fairytale of New York” star widely well known to enjoy many an alcoholic beverage, he also actually washes his hair in Guinness.

The Irish singer, who at 52 does still actually sport a full head of hair, has advised men who are worried about succumbing to losing their hair to try the old Irish method of running Guinness through their hair.
He says, "They sell all those lotions to cure you of baldness, they don't work. There is only one way to cure baldness. You pour Guinness over your head, collect it in a bucket, and drink it in the morning. It's proven to work."
In addition, MacGowan refuses to wash his locks when he’s away from his homeland of Ireland. He added: "I don't wash it, only in Tipperary water."
However, I assume there are people out there who are understandably reluctant to have a Guinness odour when going to the workplace or when trying to chat up a potential partner, so if you think you are starting to succumb to male pattern baldness and would like help then why not try one of the only few proven medications available today that has been shown to be successful – Propecia.
Propecia is a 5 alpha reductase inhibitor and it works by stopping or reducing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the hair cell, thus helping to reverse the balding process. It increases hair growth and prevents further hair loss associated with male pattern baldness.
