We have all at some point probably seen an episode of the "Bold and the Beautiful", and few would consider it so captivating if it was called the "BALD and the Beautiful"! Society is fickle when it comes to appearances and we all have some bias towards what we consider a physical defect relative to what we consider normal. Yet with so many men living active social lives despite been bald, it clearly shows life does not come to an end, when the hair on our heads does.
Bottom line though is hair loss is not only not necessarily negative, but it has also been quite the advantage in certain circumstances. If you had not heard of the studies that showed women were actually attracted to bald men, well now you know it! Now before you take that shaver and get rid of the last remaining hair strand on your head all in an effort to orchestrate a balding coup and join the 'winning team', consider this; many men in history have not been too impressed with their balding heads. That explains why nowadays the proliferation of 'instant' and often ineffective hair growth creams is at epidemic levels; and it is something people from all walks of life are dealing with, just like you and me. On the contrary, throughout history up to present day, men across the socio-economic spectrum have battled with hair loss (now there is that ring we were looking!) with somewhat mixed results.
Take Julius Caesar for instance. In the annuals of history, and discussions of famous leaders, he is among the most well known. But have you heard of the bald over technique? This technique is credited to Julius Caesar, who supposedly used it to great effect. In an effort to hide his fast receding hairline, he would 'comb over' (hence the name) his existing hair in such a way that would cover the bald part of his head. As ridiculous as that might sound, Julius Caesar is indeed in good company. Enter Donald Trump.
That's right, the eccentric owner of the massive real estate empire with a no-holds barred love for the green back and the key character behind the hit television series 'The Apprentice' is a disciple of Julius Caesar; that is when it comes to the bald over technique. To make matters worse, some cheeky members of the fourth estate have even gone as far as claiming that what we see is not his real hair but a wig. I mean, can you believe the nerve? Not of Donald Trump, but those journalist.
But even with these 'traitors' to the cause of the 'bald' nation, there are famous people that have taken the similarity between 'bald' and 'bold' to a whole new level. For basketball freaks, Michael Jordan comes to mind. This is one person that would actually scare you if you ever saw him with hair. He made bald become hip. Once, and still consider by some women the sexiest man, Sean Connery is another example. You can truly be bold, sorry, bald and beautiful; that is of course if you do not mind remaining so.
