    The dragon hair does not work on women, therefore, Ranma's cursed form
is imune. The story revolves around Happosai, Genma, and three little
dumpling headed guys trying to steal the dragon's wisker that Ranma keeps
his pigtail tied with. [BTW Genma does get his hands on it, but doesn't
know how to use it.]
    Akane walks in on Ranma washing his hair one day in the sink. She asks
him why he doesn't undo his pigtail and he refuses to say why. The three
Tendo daughters try to force him, but he runs away before they can.
    Later, the pigtail comes undone when the three dumpling headed men show
up and try to take it. Ranma runs off and Akane chases after him only to
find him with about twenty feet of hair. Cologne shows up to explain
things and tells them that the dragon wisker doesn't work on women.
    The three dumpling headed men run into Happosai who forces them to tell
them about the dragon wisker. He tries to steal it for himself which
leads to Genma finding out about it. He tries to steal it as well.

    Basically what happened is Ranma stole a man's soup while he was in
China. It was right after he got cursed, the soup had the dragon's wisker
in it. When eaten in a soup the Dragon's hair will cure baldness, but if
someone with hair eats it his hair will grow uncontrolably until he runs
out of hair.
    The man gives Ranma a wisker to keep his hair tied down and stop the
growth.
    In the end the wisker wears off before Ranma loses all his hair and
everything returns to normal. [The three thousand year freshness warantee
wears off. Ranma never finds out about this though. Shampoo manages to
scam the three dumpling headed guys into a dragon wisker soup dinner
after the story ends.]
    Ranma does keep the wisker and continues to wear it anyway.

    BTW... One thing I just noticed. Because of this storyline, Ranma will
be bald when he's older.

Um this is wrong
her exact words are "If you were truly out of hair, the rest would have pulled out easily. that means the effect of the dragon's whisker has worn off!"

basically when dragon hair whisker expired the one Ranma ate also expired as well

this means that yes Ranma has lost hair it doesn't necesairly
mean that he'll be bald when he's older

Cologne mentions it in the end of the story.

Thus all these fanfics with Ranma's pigtail flowing down to his back are
basically wrong. Ranma's going to be as bald as his father is when he
gets older.
