I was standing in the shower and had hot water pounding down on the top of my 
head also it felt great on the back of my head. I started to think about the 
hot water killing hair follicles. Has research been done in this area? The top 
and back of a persons head is where people start balding. 10 minutes of 130+ 
degree water.
