Most men who are balding tend to lose their self-confidence. They become shy and aloof, losing their identity and self-esteem in the process.
Only a few would stand and put a brave face on the camera and proudly show to the world that they are indeed experiencing hair thinning and hair loss problems.
So today, here is an article to celebrate some of the most powerful and influential bald men who, in spite of baldness, have made distinct and wonderful contributions in the world of sports, politics, business, and entertainment.
Ironic as it may seem, perhaps persons with male pattern baldness, or any balding guy for that matter, can take hair loss tips from these men. Who knows, these tips might just work better than hair loss products.
As what GQ magazine said, “These are the men who put the balls in bald and we salute you!”
The following are the men, though bald, who remind us that we don’t need luxurious locks to reach the top:
