Baldness Cure Maybe

An experienced wizard named Warder, began to lose his hair. Not a little at a time but all at once! His short-term solution was to divide his long beard and combed it onto his head. But it would never stay there no matter how much gel or extra-hold hair spray he used. “There must be a solution,” he muttered. He tried every spell he could find in his ginormous books. Nothing worked for long.

There was a knock on his door one night. When he opened it, a scaly green hand thrust itself through the crack. It held a bottle of sky-blue pink liquid. He snatched it up and slammed the door. He looked at the foaming liquid and read the directions.
“Seems simple enough.” He went to his counter and poured five drops of the liquid into a cup of water. With care, he poured it slowly on his head, massaging it in well. After covering his head with an old nightcap, Warder went to bed.

The next morning, he examined his head.
“It’s growing back colored, but at least I have hair!”
He continued to apply the concoction. His hair kept growing. Glossy, luxurious, long. Soon it was at his favored length.
He stopped using the mixture, but his hair continued to grow. By Halloween Eve it was to his ankles. It was only with great care, that he was able to avoid tripping himself at every step!

Warder considered trimming it but was afraid it might fall out, and he would be bald again. He bundled up the length and made a huge bun on his head. As he joined the Wizard’s Walk that night, he was pleased. But by the end of it, the hair had blown away, and he was bald again.
