00:00Welcome to Tales of Unusual, stories for those who know that vanity can cost more than you think.

00:08Tonight's tale is about a desperate man, a miracle cure, and the price of wanting what nature took away.

00:17This is the story of the yellow hair tonic, a bottle that promised youth and delivered something far worse.

00:25So lean closer and listen carefully.

00:28Some potions are better left unopened.

00:32By 45, Arthur's hairline had retreated like a dying tide.

00:38He tried every shampoo, every pill, every overpriced laser treatment.

00:44Nothing worked, and each new reflection in the mirror mocked him.

00:48DM for details.

00:50The message included a grainy photo, a tiny bottle of thick yellow liquid, glowing under harsh light.

00:59Against his better judgment, Arthur replied.

01:03Two days later, a plain brown package arrived at Arthur's door.

01:08Do not exceed dose.

01:11Arthur turned the vial over in his hand, sniffed the sharp chemical scent.

01:16His scalp itched at the thought, a phantom memory of the hair he used to have.

01:22That night, he stood in front of the bathroom mirror, uncorked the vial, and rubbed a single drop into his thinning crown.

01:31He went to bed, imagining the strands already sprouting while he slept.

01:36Morning sunlight revealed the impossible.

01:40A thin fuzz of new hair glistening where there had been only shiny skin for years.

01:47Arthur laughed like a man reborn.

01:50Years.

01:51He skipped work to stand at the mirror.

01:54For the first time in years.

01:55The next night, he couldn't help himself.

01:58One drop became two.

02:00By the end of the week, his hair was thick again, darker, shinier than it had ever been.

02:07But so was the itching, a constant crawling beneath the skin.

02:12He ignored it.

02:13Vanity is louder than reason.

02:16By the second week, Arthur's hair was growing faster than he could style it.

02:21Strands curled out from under his shirts, down his neck, across his shoulders.

02:27He shaved them away, but they returned overnight, thicker, coarser.

02:33Worse was the sensation, an endless tickling under his scalp, like roots burrowing deeper.

02:40When he scratched, small yellow flakes clung to his fingernails.

02:45He emailed the seller, begging for answers.

02:48No reply.

02:50His co-workers asked about his new look.

02:53Some whispered behind his back.

02:55Arthur stayed home, curtains drawn, scratching, until his sheets were stained yellow.

03:02One morning, Arthur woke to find his pillow, matted with thick yellow goo.

03:08The strands had grown coarse and sharp, crawling down his back, wrapping around his chest, threading

03:15into his skin.

03:17He tried shaving, but the hair grew back faster, darker, wet with the same yellow fluid.

03:23Mouth frozen, but the hair only grew faster, feeding on him from the inside.

03:31Neighbors reported the smell first.

03:34Sour, chemical, like spoiled meat.

03:37Deep inside, if they'd looked closer, they might have seen something that used to be a man.

03:43Eyes wide open, silent scream, threads of yellow ooze dripping from every pore.

03:51Some say the hair is still alive, creeping through the floorboards at night, waiting for the next scalp to claim.

03:59A bottle half full sits on the bathroom sink.

04:03Label faded, but the promise still clear.

04:06One drop, once a day.

04:09Remember, some miracles grow roots you can never cut free.
