KeUpper shocks your hair into submission

We were checking out the local electronics superstores this weekend, and stumbled upon what appeared to be a set of headphones designed to deliver music directly into your brain…

Instead, it turned out to be KeUpper (ケアッパ), which means “hair upper”, a $1000 device designed to stimulate your hair into growing by shocking the living daylights out of your head.

KeUpper is produced by Takigawa, though we can’t find a sign of it on the site. Either they’ve given up on it, or this is one of those “secrets of the stars” that the masses aren’t supposed to know about. Either way, if used properly for seven minutes a day, you can go from mostly bald to almost mostly bald after only 25 weeks!

If true hair growth will come through home appliances, we have no doubt that it will come from Japan, hopefully in time for guys like me.

I demoed the KeUpper myself, and could barely stand the pain of cranial electrocution after a mere five seconds. Whether it works or not I have no idea, but it’s made me far more comfortable accepting my inevitable genetic fate of hairline recession. I guess they don’t make fashionable wigs and fake facial hair for nothing…

Get your own KeUpper from Rakuten (Japanese)
