Never Trust a Hair Tonic: Difference between revisions

== Anime and Manga ==

 

* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' has a female variation, when short-haired Ako thinks she should grow her hair out to be more attractive. A (not so) helpful denizen of the magic world promptly gives her a magic hair-growth potion, which works perfectly for all of a minute before the hair begins to engulf her.

* An early [[Inuyasha]] story has two demon brothers kidnap Kagome. She thinks they simply want to eat her, but it turns out one of them is severely balding and embarrassed about it, and he has heard you can get a hair growth potion by ''boiling down a human maiden''. At hearing this, Kagome angrily insists they eat her instead. (Not 100% really this troupe, since we never learn whether the potion works - but the kidnapping does lead to the demon losing his last few hairs - before he is killed.)
