Mr. Balding Builds His Dream Hair

Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House was on TCM today, and it made me think of this silly play on the title: Mr. Balding Builds His Dream Hair, which would be an ad for a hair restoration company (like Bosley or Hair Club for Men). And in the ad, we’d see a balding man planning all the different kinds of hairstyles he can try once he has a full head of hair again. He does so by using his computer to overlay different hairstyles, from crazy to conservative, and from Caesar to Mohawk, over a photographic portrait of himself. And after interchanging many different hairstyles on his picture, he decides on one that he wants, and then we cut to him having that hairstyle after his procedure.
