The only thing Henry turns up is a well-hidden receipt for a large shipment of Rogaine.
Henry pockets the receipt, thinking it might prove useful at some point. Even if he had no clue why Starling would need to grow enormous quantities of hair. Sasquatch-creating experiments? Investigate further.
Having done his tour of the apartment, and thinking he had all he needed, Henry turned to the last thing on his list : The hair and dried blood. The hair first; he concentrates, and slowly intones a few words of the High Speech to fight through the Supernal buzzing away inside his head, which was starting to sound vaguely like a jet engine. "Emoc no, wohs em Gnilrats, I nac ees mih."

Sympathy
Stupid extra 'dox die...
Feeling the lash of Paradox stop him from seeing what lay at the other end of the hair's connection, Henry ponders. He could leave, but if he had to come back later, he would have to go through the outer defenses all over. He could risk the spell again, but it already took most of what he had simply keeping his concentration together.
It took him a few seconds, but he made up his mind. He would try again, from elsewhere. Somewhere I don't have to maintain this disguise. Not from home, though, that would be plain suicidal.
Taking one last cursory look around, he heads back for the door, being sure to reset the alarm on the way out.

Henry makes it out without incident, other than a cordial wave from John.
