Hey there @TheEdVerse is there a canon place or service to grow hair back in Waterdeep? Sort of a reverse barber or apothecary? Asking for a friend…#waterdeep #realmslore #dungeonsanddragons— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 24, 2022

Certainly. First, Cyber Trout hath the right of it: Phalantar’s Philtres & Components does sell elixirs to drink to boost hair growth in a hurry, and unguents to spread on bald or sparse patches to make reluctant or… 2)

Thank you! Any idea what the cost range would be some of these cures? Spells: 250 gp for maintaining hair, renewing scorched hair, etc. up to 1200 gp for spells to grow hair on a long-bald pate.
Elixirs about 100 gp less over the same range but topping out at 800 gp.
Salves/ointments/unguents 50-150gp (for tiny jar: 3-4 doses).#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) March 24, 2022

I'm not joking: many Waterdhavians resort to either…or in some desperate cases, both.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) April 7, 2022
