The Jackal's hair would be completely fried

He's dyeing it different colors practically every other day for two weeks. Bleaching it, dyeing it. Over and over and over again. Doing that literally fries your hair to the point where it would snap off in your fingers.

By the time he got to the gay guy's place, it would be so fried that it would be snapping off in his hands. It would be falling out in clumps. Not exactly the best way to get in bed with someone.

I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

He was obviously wearing a wig or had plugs when he did the Jackal. You can see he was already balding in the Fifth Element. Same year it came out along the jackal. Also check out his red carpet pics from the late 90's. He head was hanging on to scraps for dear life.

Yeah, sure, but I'm not talking about Bruce Willis. I'm talking about the fictional character, the Jackal, dyeing and re-dyeing his hair over and over in a two-week period.

When I was in my 20's I had dyed a friend's hair four times in one night after a bad hi-light job. No hair loss and it did not break off.
