Image is everything in today’s world. And it’s not only women who suffer. The pressure on men to look good is massive. For many, crisis arrives with the first hint of baldness. Many men associate it with a loss of virility, attractiveness, and success.
Preempting this natural consequence of ageing by shaving the head is often the best answer. But shaving also has many other benefits that you may not have considered:
#1. You’ll get the bad-boy look.
Many footballers, actors and models have shaved, buzzed, or bald heads. Why? Because it makes you look more intimidating… and sexy. Get outta my way you hairy buffoons!
#2. It saves you time.
Time is money and those minutes can’t be wasted in front of a mirror only to have a windy day undo everything. Shave your head and never worry about a bad hair day ever again.
#3. Get a steaming head.
Cold weather + hot shaved head = Steam emanating from the head. Entertain your friends and freak out the neighbour’s kids. The possibilities are endless.
#4. Your hats will fit.
This is self-explanatory. Different lengths of hair require different hat sizes. Shave your head and stick with one size. Easy.
#5. It saves money.
Right hook and jab those money-sucking shampoos, conditioners, hair gels and trips to the barbers. Say hello to spare cash.
#6. The bald head and beard combo is a total win.
Step 1) Grow a healthy looking beard. Step 2) Shave your head. Why? Bald heads are perceived as more authoritative, and what is more masculine than having a beard? Nothing. Except pure unudulterated testosterone.
#7. It makes you look more muscular.
When you have muscles this gorgeous and toned, you don’t want a thing like HAIR stealing the show. Body builders shave every part of their body to highlight the fruits of their efforts. I urge you to go and shave your stomach right now — I guarantee a 6-pack is waiting for you underneath all that fur. Ok, maybe not… but you never know!
#8. It makes you look smarter and wiser.
Baldness is associated with age, and the only good thing about ageing is the experience and wisdom you inevitably accrue with the passing years. It’s all about perception.
#9. It’s the cure for thinning hair.
There is nothing worse than thinning hair. Nothing apart from a comb-over that is. Cringe. Please, please, please just shave it all off. You will look 100% better.
Shaving your head or going bald isn’t defeat. It’s a strategy for success and glory (as well as attracting those girls who really, really dig bald guys).
