Baldness stalks us from the beginning of life to the end. Sure, your mom told you that you should never make fun of anyone’s new bald baby. It’s bad manners and worse, you have no way of knowing (when the time comes) if your baby will be the butt of snide remarks and snickers. Of course, there’s the bad karma thing to worry about, as well.

The same thing is true about the misfortune of hair loss victims. Go with the golden rule – don’t laugh, at least not out loud. Taking a tour of hair loss through history will prepare you for the day when hair loss hits home.

Flickr doesn’t have any photos online of the 2008 Vice Presidential candidate that show his before and after hair loss and hair replacement treatment. Although Vice President Biden’s hair has been thinning for the last 10 to 20 years, a few people just missed the whole story about his attempt to do something about his thinning hair.

Many people who have seen Biden’s hair replacement treatment are shaking their heads in disbelief. Quite a few are even laughing out loud, in spite of what their mom taught them. One online magazine that follows Washington politicos even went so far as to call it Biden’s Helmet.

Hair transplants don’t regrow hair. Furthermore, like comb-overs, they attract even more attention to your head. If you’re Joe Biden, on a mission to create world peace or restore economic growth, that could be quite a distraction.

One problem with his hair transplant is that while his hair was thinning over several decades, it also changed colors. Finally, his full head of hair is an attractive silver gray. However, the transplanted hair doesn’t quite match the hair that’s still growing. Professional hair stylists have suggested that he dye all his transplanted hair a darker color.

Too bad that he’ll have to join the ranks of millions of women who dye their hair, to hide their gray. He looks great with gray hair, plugs and all.
