A Chinese herbal shampoo called Bawang was popular in China in recent year not only because of its claims to treat male baldness by also its image ambassador – Jackie Chan.

Chan hasn’t been without controversy during his career, but a new dispute involving his shampoo could be the one to end it. And as Susan Tart tells us, it may damage much more than just his locks.
