Viewers watched as he placed the helmet onto his head as it got to work, leaving people wondering if it actually did anything years later.
Bobby told the Daily Express: “No, unfortunately not,” explaining: “It gave no hair growth at all,” and adding: “All that thing did was left those little holes on my head and made me sweat, that was about it.

“Just so full of energy and just a really kind guy, he was really cool.”
Bobby spoke of the weird and wonderful items brought to him and the team during his time on the wild TV show.
He said: “There would be items that people bring in just that they found around Detroit,” adding: “I’m sure that there was some way that the camera crew reached out to people, whether it was through local Craig’s List ads or stuff like that.
“They would probably ask them ‘hey did you want to sell this on the show?’ That’s what makes the most sense to me because people aren’t just walking in with these things.”
