Surgical solutions to every day apperance problems are highly popular with the rich. Botox injections to get wrinkles out. Plastic surgery to get wrinkles out. Electrolisis to get rid of unwanted hair. Tattoos for makeup. Removal of sections of the digestive tract to prevent weight gain, and hair
transplants to hide that awful male pattern baldness.
But the cowlick remains as an unsolvable bane on our existence... until now.
The cowlick is produced when a portion of hair near the back of the head sticks up. Some people attributed it to hat hair, pillow hair, or a bad hair day, but I have isolated the root cause of it as being related directly to the spiral pattern of hair folicle alignment in the back of the hair. This pattern is known as "grain."
You will note that wigs, barbie dolls, faux fur, and other collections of hairlike fiber which lacks grain does not produce cowlick when on a head shaped projection, and even if artificially induced, light combing over will resolve the fashion disaster.
Micro-incisions, and hair follicle transplants have been successfully used to increase the apparent amount of hair existing on human heads suffering from male pattern baldness, but this malady cannot strike more than half the human population, whereas cowlicks can present themselves op people of either gender, and any age. Using previously perfected techniques, we can end this bane on civilizations.
All I need is a few good surgeons, and I will gladly submit myself to the knife in order to prove the effectiveness, and safety of this new surgical beautification process. I'll just need a few thousand dollars to pay the surgeons. Hurry, fundraising must be performed within the next... umm... several years... as male pattern baldness might render the experiment moot after that time.
This surgical proceedure can also be adapted to provide "natural part reassignment" surgeries, and other less practical operations, such as palm-hair inserts. Cowlick Info

Bun for putting the 'folly' into follicles. [+] |
|

A lot of people's cowlicks are their signature "do", the thing that makes them stand out in a crowd of look-alikes... that said, I hate my cowlick, absolutely hate it with a passion and if anyone doubts my identity I'll just talk to them for 3 seconds until they get pissed off, kill me as a public service, and run my DNA at the morgue. + |

when my hair grows a little bit it sticks
out like a brush - and it's a brush with a
lot of space between each bristle ! Now
that I am a bit older I care little if I am
having the look of a mad person, but it
used to bother me a lot, along with my
sticking out ears.(bane of my bullied
childhood) |
|
| |
Now I like how I look, and a suprising
amount of pretty and much younger
girls find me strangely attractive (bane
of my adulthoood) or maybe they are
just attracted to my strangeness. Either
way all ye of strange appearance,
rejoice in your uniquness - who wants
to look like just another grain of sand
on the beach. + |

Amen Amen, let's hear it for younger girls that are attracted to our older weirdness... over 18, of course. |
|
| |
but there are those who will stop at nothing to achieve a perfect look, and I suspect this would just be another notch in the scalp for them. |
|
| |
Can I take somebody else's cowlick? I'll take a few, if anyone has some hair to spare. <Looks around ever so hopefully> Anyone? Anyone at all? |
|
| |
Tell ya what, Spoon: next time I get a haircut, I'll send some locks to you (for a nominal fee, of course, muhahahaha). |
|
| |
Sorry spoon, but I had envisioned this to simply realign the follicles, to prevent the cause of cowlicks, without removing the hairs themselves. |
|
| |
I'd imagine that there might be compatibility issues involved in a person to person hair transplant, and as much as you would prefer to have hair over baldness, I think you would prefer baldness over scarred baldness and necrotizing rejected tissue. |

Once I get a job, I'll gladly contribute to a toupee, or other more traditional hair substitute if you wish. Sorry if I've hit a sore spot with you... but I'd imagine the title was self-explanatory enough to forewarn you at least. |

| |
Problem is that I apparently am a glutton for punishment. I think I was in denial when I thought it was going to be about cows that have that Spastic Tongue Syndrome. |
|
| |
That... might... be an even better idea... |
|
| |
or it could be a way to repair mutations in genetically created salt blocks... |
