The stereotype of baldness as something that only happens to men as they age is slowly being dispelled. In recent years, balding has become increasingly socially accepted, even celebrated, among both men and women. And with good reason — there are a variety of surprising and positive benefits to having a bald head.

First of all, if you’re a balding male, research has found that you’re likely to be seen as more attractive and dominant. This is because, over the years, baldness has come to be associated with strength and confidence — qualities that are universally attractive. Since balding can no longer be seen as a sign of age or illness, it can be attractive even for younger men.

The physical side of baldness is also beneficial. As balding doesn’t require the same maintenance as having a full head of hair, you can save both time and money. Shaving off the remaining hair completely means no more styling, no more expensive salon trips, and no more product build-up. And, if you’re the sporty type, having a bald head can even mean lower body temperature, which can be ideal during physical activities in hot weather.
