** In "Hair!", both Lou and his grandson Tommy fall victim to this; the former out of envy of Roy Davis, an old friend of his because Roy still has all his hair while Lou has lost the hair in the upper part of his head, and the latter because his cousin Angelica told him that he won't grow up because he doesn't have any hair like his friends. Lou tries to one-up Roy by wearing a toupee, but his plan is compromised when Tommy takes it. Dil then pulls off Roy's toupee, revealing that Roy is really bald as well. In the end, Tommy discovers that his father Stu and uncle Drew were both bald as babies in an old photo, but grew hair when they grew up, meaning Angelica was wrong, and learns to accept his lack of hair, knowing now that it won't last forever.
