Every year Dauber's World gives out "product of the year" awards to products that solve real problems that humans face every day. Yesterday Dauber's World became aware of a product that somehow does NOT exist, but clearly should. Androgenic alopecia, better known by it's common name of "male pattern baldness" afflicts a quarter of all men by the age of 25 and two-thirds by the age of 60.
Yesterday official hair-cutter of Dauber's World, Phoebe, told Dauber's World to watch out for getting sunburned. Getting a sub burn on the top of your head while already losing hair is a real kick in the shins. Dauber's World isn't bald, however. Dauber's World is only suffering from thinning hair (at a rapidly increasing rate), and herein lies the problem. After spending an hour in the beauty department in Nordstrom Dauber's World determined that there exists no SPF-rated sun block specifically formulated to put in thinning hair. There are lots of sub blocks out there for your skin and for your face. There are even sun blocks to protect YOUR HAIR. There isn't any specially-formulated sun block to put in thinning hair. Dauber's World thinks this would be a killer product. You can't use traditional sun block in your hair -- it's makes your hair greasy and gross looking. If you are completely bald then normal sun block is fine, but male pattern baldness doesn't work like that. It's a gradual thing. One "helpful" sales person yesterday suggested to Dauber's World that he "wear a hat"!
Is it possible that here, in the 21st century, human civilization can do nothing else to protect the scalps of balding men from sun burn than to suggest that they wear a hat? A hat!?!?!? That solution was available over two thousand years ago. Considering the quantity of products made for balding men it's astounding that such a product hasn't been invented yet. The first company to release such a product will surely win the next "product of the year" award from Dauber's World.
