Thank you to Dil for your characters and questions. Just so you readers know, this particular column has sparked a series of other questions regarding the same topic (Hair Gel), so I shall post them all in one chapter.
Dear SiriousB1,
My friend uses so much hair gel that the reflection blinds me. How can I approach the subject without offending him? Or, just remove the gel while making it look like an accident? I don't want to get him mad at me, but last time I used my spirit sword, the light bounced off his hair, burned my retinas and nearly decapitated my cat. Please help.

Dear Kitten Lover,
That much hair gel, huh? That's a hard one. I don't use hair gel personally, but I know some of my friends do. The best thing that I can think of is this:
1) Get him all boozed up till he passes out.
2) Carefully stick his head in a bucket of water to remove the present gel. Note: If he wakes up, give him more booze.
3) Throw away any of the hair gel that he has in his house.
4) Take him to a hypnotist.
I offer two cautions when trying these steps: Make sure that he doesn't beat the crap out of you when it's all over and be careful about age inquiry if you get drunk at a bar instead of your own home. I take no responsibility for anything if the police catch you drinking under age!
Sincerely,

(A/N: At this point, I must explain something. Dil and I were on YIM and we were just talking about random things. Suddenly, we envisioned what would happen if Kuwabara used rubber cement instead of shampoo on accident while trying to get the hair gel out of Yuusuke's hair. So, basically, his hands are stuck in Yuusuke's hair. Got it? Good.)
Dear Siri,
I took your advice about my friend's hair gel. Not having access to alcohol, I used a cocktail of my sister's anti-psychotic and anti-depressant drugs, mostly Prozac and Zyrtec. It worked pretty well, he's not unconscious, but he doesn't seem to care what I do. I think he's trying to reach the state of nirvana, and has mistaken my frantic attempts to free my hands from his hair as a rudimentary scalp message. Do you have any advice to unstick my hands before his brain kicks back in, or he falls asleep? At least in his current condition I can move him; if he falls asleep I'm screwed.

Dear Kitten Lover,
Heh, heh, heh. Rubber cement isn't the best shampoo, is it? Stupid baka. Read the labels! Go find Old-Lady Genkai and get her to use her shotgun to crack the cement and, if you move them quickly enough, you won't get your hands hurt. The worst thing that could happen to your friend is that his hair will burn off and he will live the rest of his life as a bald man. Hey! At least you won't have to worry about hair gel, shampoo and rubber cement any moreā¦
Sincerely,

Thank you to Catleana for your character and question idea.
Dear SiriousB1,
Guess what? A baka friend of mine somehow got his fucking hands stuck in my hair and he got his sister to use big hammer to break the rubber cement off of my head and his hands. And now, I'm BALD!!!! What kind of Spirit Detective is bald? It's soooo embarrassing! There were a few strands left, but that fossil Genkai used an electric razor and shaved them off! How the hell am I supposed to get my hair back? I mean, Kuwabara (the baka who accidentally used Quick Rubber Cement instead of shampoo to get the hair gel out of my hair) started laughing at me, but I can't do shit now! I refuse to go to school (which is actually a blessing) and I won't go out on any more cases because of my shiny head! It'll take forever if I just let it grow back naturally...what the hell am I supposed to do in the meantime!? Keiko broke up with me because I wouldn't even see her, but she just wouldn't understand. Of course, I haven't told her and I made Kuwabara, Genkai and Shizuru swear that they'd never tell anyone or I'd whip out my Spirit Gun on them. What the hell should I do?!
Yours truly,
Pissed Spirit Detective
Dear Pissed Spirit Detective,
One word: ROGAINE! And yet, I don't understand why you would want to. I mean, bald is sexy! Just look at...::thinks:: Vin Diesel! And Moby! Okay, not really Moby, but he's still cool! Plus, with a baldhead, you can get a tattoo or that covers your head. You can make it say something really cool or have a picture of a dragon or something. That would be awesome! Just think of it: Yuusuke Urameshi - The First Bald Sprite Detective! ::Snickers::
Sincerely,
SiriousB1
