Ridiculous Patent: Combing Hair to Conceal Baldness

Claim #1 from the patent:
A method for styling hair to cover bald areas using only the individual's own hair, comprising separating the hair on the head into several substantially equal sections, taking the hair on one section and placing it over the bald area, then taking the hair on another section and placing it over the first section, and finally taking the hair on the remaining sections and placing it over the other sections whereby the bald area will be completely covered.
Fortunately, the patent was filed in 1975 and thus expired in the early 90s. Today you are free to style your bald head this way without paying royalties to Frank and Donald Smith. That's progress for you, brought to us by the USPTO. Thanks, Patent Office!

It's that today people can do it for free. Because baldness is a common problem for men of any age. But they can treat this problem, not just to hide.

Yes, it is certainly possible to control the extent of hair loss and thinning. A variety of factors can cause hair loss, including genetics, diet, the use of certain bodybuilding supplements, and environmental factors. You can avoid hair loss with things like changing your diet, removing stressful points in your life, applying herbal remedies etc.
