In Victorian times they used to use badger hair for shaving brushes, (the pun being they used the badger hair shaving brush to shave the badger to get the hair to make the brush...)
Don't forget, they had to make their own entertainment in them days.

believe a badger's head has a white spot on it which can make it look like the animal is bald. That may be the origin of the expression.
As you know from the article, this headline is just saying that if you pet a cat affected by this disease (or a dog or other pet), you can catch the disease, and it could make you bald.

Well
There are many factors that can attribute to hair recession or massive hair fall and you need to find out which one exactly is responsible for the problem you are having now. Of course male pattern baldness is still the most common cause, but, for instance, if you are a woman things are deinitely different! This is the reason why you will need to really dig down and see the source of your problem.
Other causes of hair loss may include (both in men and women): severe mental or emotional stress, excessive use of coloring or bleaching agents, traction alopecia or excessive strain on the scalp due to braiding or corn rowing, hormonal changes, alopecia areata or hair loss due to autoimmune diseases, and many more. Each of these conditions will require a different approach in order to achieve success regardless of whether you're going to be using conventional or natural methods.
In my opinion it's much better to use natural methods as opposed to conventional ones, they're cheaper, have less to no side effects, and often more effective.
A good way of regaining your full head of healthy natural hair is well described on this guide: http://hairagain.toptips.org
Bye Bye

I've never heard that said. I've only heard 'bald as a coot', so I don't know where it comes from. It doesn't really make sense as a badger is quite hairy.

I thought it was "bald as a coot"?
Badgers are darned hairy. Perhaps it's a humorous oxymoron.

Thou shalt grow hair and cut it if they want to, unless bald. No resurrection. When you're dead, you must stay dead. Unless you are a zombie. Woman shall keep their glitter and products that produce glitter to themselves and under control. Thou shalt put no other gods that don't exist before the other gods that don't exist.

Sorry, never heard that one. I've always hears "bald as an eagle", which makes more sense.
