There is no doubt it’s falling out. The latest natural elixir (vegetable oil with Aniseed) has no impact on the increasing amount of scalp showing through his jet black curls. Dee has convinced him licorice root is the key to healthy bones and hair. Apparently bones and hair are fortified by the same vitamins, and prescriptions for deficiencies often mirror ingredients. Roger tried his mother’s osteoporosis medication but suffered a seriously adverse reaction. He remembers the sticky summer day he had to squeeze his soft torso into his cousin Sam’s too-tight Hanes t-shirt. That trauma was the catalyst for the birth of his bespoke style. Since the age of twelve Roger has eschewed t-shirts for cuffs and collars. The bald look is not an option. He might have to make the trek to Washington Heights. The Dominicans are gurus of hair care.
