Leave that hat or wig at home it’s time to face the world with your bald self and enjoy National Bald and Free Day. National Bald and Free Day is a day to embrace and liberate yourself from the concealment of your bald, shiny head.

While hair loss and balding many seem like a downer for most people, there are a few perks for those who look at things on the brighter side.

Some perks of balding are:

-No more worrying about gray hairs

-(if you’re already bald) No more worrying about balding

-No bad hair days

-You take less time getting ready

-Save money on hair cuts

-You can put more effort into your facial hair

-and Baldness is often associated with a “tough guy” persona

However, when you think about baldness you most likely think of Mr. Brent Hughes, so it may be difficult to understand the idea that bald men are “tough.”

If that is the case here is a list of famous bald men:

-Samuel L. Jackson

-Floyd Mayweather

-Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

-Bruce Willis

-Vin Diesel

-Mike Tyson

According to Statistic Brain Research Institute, 35 million men and 21 million women in America are losing their hair. Also, by the age of 35, 45% of those men have noticeable hair loss. By the age of 85, 80% have noticeable hair loss.

While most men tend to hide their baldness, a few have embrace the inevitable and shaved their head. Even Mr. Hughes has taken upon this initiative and in 2011 he shaved his head.

“Being bald is awesome! I save money on haircuts; however that money gets put back in razors,” said Hughes.
