Be Bald and Be Free Day

Hats Off To You!

Be bald. Be bold. Be proud. It's like the new Marines commercial for baldness. Speaking of which, a lot of those men shave it all off and they are still a handsome bunch.

Today is about embracing your current baldness, your baldingness, or even the idea that you may begin to bald at some point in the future. Heck, I have a friend in his early 20s who can't wait to go bald!

There are many arguments over what does or does not cause baldness: showering products, excessive blowdrying, etc. Word on the street still seems to have it that most of it is hereditary, and that if your maternal grandfather didn't have much hair, neither will you.

Men, women and children go bald for any number of reasons, and its' really not a big deal. Think of the money you save on haircuts and the time you save on hairstyling. Wear your baldness with pride, and if you want to mix it up a little, get some cool hats for you and your amigos.
