History of Bald is Beautiful Day

Baldness used to have very negative connotations, and bald men and women were ashamed. No more! Celebrations like Bald is Beautiful Day are a reminder that being bald is not a shortcoming. In fact, baldness can be freeing and even a powerful statement against vanity. Think about all the advantages of being bald — no hair grooming products, no time wasted in combing and washing hair, and never a bad hair day.

Baldness can often be hereditary, especially in men. Male pattern baldness, hair fall, hair thinning, and receding hairlines are common afflictions. Sometimes aging can aggravate these conditions and lead to rapid hair loss and balding. This is not to say that women are immune to balding — hair fall and thinning afflict women too. Be it due to stress, health conditions, genetics, or just environmental stressors, the reasons for hair fall and balding can be many. They can be prevented or stopped with medical intervention. But sometimes, there’s no choice but to accept one’s baldness.

However, for many, baldness can be a voluntary decision. Some decide to shed off their hair to prevent hair loss or while going through rigorous medical treatments. The rest might decide to go bald to make a fashion statement. A newly shorn scalp is sensitive to heat and cold and must be taken care of properly. Whatever the reason, bald truly is beautiful! So on National Bald is Beautiful Day be proud to embrace your baldness.
