Now, you might be wondering \u201cWhat would I look like bald?\u201d or \u201cHow to look good bald?\u201d \u2013 we can\u2019t really answer the former as that varies greatly from person to person, however, we can help you quite a bit in figuring out how to look good with a bad head.<\/p>\n<p>Chances are you\u2019ve seen all those hot bald men on TV or around office buildings and you\u2019ve asked yourself \u201cHow would I look bald?\u201d<em><strong> The answer to that has a little to do with your genetics and a lot to do with how you take care of yourself and your look.<\/strong><\/em> So, here are our 9 tips for how you too can become one of those good looking bald men.<\/p>\n<h3>Stubble or completely bald?<\/h3>\n<p>Some people would recommend that you shave your head cleanly, others recommend leaving a bit of stubble. Our advice would be to try both looks and to see which works best for you. Here are some general guidelines:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you have a receding hairline the stubble will make it quite obvious and likely make you look older.<\/li>\n<li>If you have a round face the stubble can help make your face more accented and more easily distinguishable from the rest of your head.<\/li>\n<li>If your hair has started going grey or white, you\u2019ll likely not want to leave a stubble.<\/li>\n<li>If your skin is too pale, a short stubble can make for a better look.<\/li>\n<li>If you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boldbarber.com\/best-beard-shaping-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">grow a beard<\/a>, a clean-shaven head will likely be the way to go.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Head polish or not?<\/h3>\n<p>Assuming that you\u2019ve decided to shave your head cleanly, the next question is whether you should use head polish to make it shiny or not. The answer here is also quite subjective \u2013 some people can pull it off, others can\u2019t. Head polish usually looks quite well on darker-skinned men but some paler guys can pull it off as well. Again \u2013 experiment and check out which suits you better.<\/p>\n<h3>Moisturize your scalp regularly<\/h3>\n<p>Whichever of the two options above you\u2019ve chosen, it\u2019s very important to take proper care of your scalp. Keeping it moisturized and well-nourished is vital if you intend to shave it frequently as the simple act of shaving can take a lot out of one\u2019s skin.<\/p>\n<h3>Consider getting a tan<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s a truth that\u2019s uncomfortable for a lot of white guys, but it\u2019s a truth nonetheless \u2013 the bald head look tends to look better on darker-skinned men. This doesn\u2019t mean that it will not look well on you if you\u2019re as white as a glass of milk \u2013 it may still look quite nice. But it seems to look even better the darker your skin is. This isn\u2019t to say that you need to be an African-American to look well with a shaven head, but it does make tanning a good choice for most bald men.<\/p>\n<h3>Beware the sun<\/h3>\n<p>While a bit of tan can often help, getting your scalp burned like a bright red tomato is usually a bad thing. And, unfortunately, it\u2019s also very easy when you shave your head. Still, that\u2019s an annoying problem but it\u2019s one you can easily circumvent by using sun cream on your scalp. Yes, it can take a while to turn that into a stable habit and it\u2019s irritating that you\u2019ll have to do that quite often, but it is something that needs to be done, especially if you burn easily.<\/p>\n<p>Also, keep in mind that this isn\u2019t just a cosmetic problem \u2013 we\u2019re not just talking about a mild sunburn, sun spots, or freckles \u2013 too much sun exposure on an unprotected scalp can easily lead to serious skin problems such as basal cell carcinoma, melanoma, and others.<\/p>\n<h3>Lose weight and tone your body<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, in most of our articles we mention how getting fit is a great thing to do, whether it\u2019s for growing a nice beard, growing a nice set of hair, or \u2013 in this case \u2013 going bald. We\u2019re not doing that only because we want you to be healthy and in a good shape \u2013 we\u2019re also mentioning it because it does help for the topic at hand as well.<\/p>\n<p>While being fit and in a good shape won\u2019t make your scalp easier to shave or look better in and of itself, it does do a lot to the overall look of bald men. The reason for that is quite simple &#8211; where long hair or a bushy beard can help hide certain body imperfections, going bald can accent them a great deal. This can often result in a look that feels unkempt, tired of life and immature at the same time, as well as overall unappealing<\/p>\n<p>Instead, if you get fitter you\u2019ll give off a look of a serious man who knows how to take care of himself, who\u2019s in control, and who looks the way he does because he wants to, not just because he started going bald.<\/p>\n<h3>Consider growing a beard<\/h3>\n<p>If you want to go bold then definitely consider the \u201cshaved head with a beard\u201d look as well. It doesn\u2019t look great on everyone, and even when it does \u2013 not everybody likes it. <em><strong>However, when it works it can look stunning, authoritative, and commanding respect.<\/strong><\/em> So, if you think that look might work well for both you and those around you \u2013 we wholeheartedly recommend that you give it a try.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1375 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boldbarber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/man-4063383_1920-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"920\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boldbarber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/man-4063383_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.boldbarber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/man-4063383_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.boldbarber.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/man-4063383_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 920px) 100vw, 920px\" \/>Your clothing and accessories are important as well<\/h3>\n<p>The bald look really isn\u2019t something that works well with just jeans and a plain t-shirt. That\u2019s because it can very easily make you look either immature or too old. Plus, it can leave off the impression that you\u2019re bald out of necessity and not out of choice. Instead, a nice suit, a good-looking shirt, and even something like stylish sunglasses, can make you look strong, willful, and assertive.<\/p>\n<h3>Confidence is key<\/h3>\n<p>For a lot of men going bald is a huge hit on their confidence. However, as we showed above, it can actually make for a great look. The irony here, however, is that for the bald look to work and to give you the confidence you seek, you need the confidence to pull it off. Yes, it can be a bit of a Catch 22 scenario. However, the difference between an insecure bald man and one that\u2019s brimming with confidence is simply huge. So, if you want to look good with a bald head, we\u2019d definitely recommend working on your confidence as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you\u2019ve started noticing your hairline getting thinner or you\u2019re just thinking of experimenting with your look a little, if you\u2019re here you\u2019re likely considering going bald.
