Sascha

The famed strongman who used his hair to make his dough. He sold hair-strengthening products as well as lifted heavy objects with his hair. ………….."One of the most famous of those early capillary athletes, as they were often called, was a German named Sascha. At the climax of his turn-of-the-20th-century vaudeville act he would hang by his legs from a trapeze suspended high above the stage, with an 80-pound weight swinging from his hair. Eventually, Sascha marketed a line of hair products.
