Bald brand
Before modern times, baldness was viewed as a vice by everyone. There wasn’t a brand associated with baldness except for degeneracy. Now some people have been convinced that baldness is a virtue due to the media paying lip service to bald men and their close allies in order to gain more views for their platform. Promoting baldness wins over men who are follicly challenged. The population of bald men is large and steadily increasing, therefore it’s essential to entertain bald customers for profit. Interestingly lip service goes beyond just words to enrich media and culture alike. In reality words shape how a particular feature a person may have is perceived and what response others give when they encounter such features. Irrespective of logic, if the belief that baldness is a virtue is accepted then baldness will be treated as if it was truly a virtue. Thus a new beauty standard will come into effect, advantageous to some while crippling others. For example, in some cultures men sharpen teeth to align with beauty standards in their region. Sharpening teeth is a way for men to look intimidating as a sign of masculinity. Mutilating teeth increases their rank amongst people that subscribe to that beauty standards and they receive much goodness because many people believe in it. However, once they go to people who don’t subscribe to that beauty standard they will be ridiculed for shaving their teeth because intact teeth are generally viewed as beautiful. For this reason people who mutilate their teeth continue to promote the beauty standards so that their sacrifices won’t be in vain. It's likely that teeth sharpening has lasted for generations because the first ones who were tricked are continuing to propagate the trick to others so that it spreads to their own benefit and to the detriment of the whole community. Back to the point after confusing you with teeth sharpening which is similar to baldness in terms of altering beauty standards. Like teeth sharpeners, it's in the interest of bald men to increase the number of people who subscribe to the beauty standard that baldness is sexy. Baldness is a brand that identifies all bald men from least bald to most bald into their own unique group that must be promoted. Like any other brand you see advertised, a bald brand must be marketed. A hairstyle is an advert unlike a bald head which needs to be advertised to compete. Brand awareness of bald men is spread by various media channels including bald men themselves sometimes deliberately but most men do it unintentionally. Branding baldness as sexy shapes people’s perception for the benefit of those who are balding. Onboarding new people into subscribing to the bald beauty standard is the fuel that drives the bald brand to success. Without it baldness will revert back to being viewed as a vice like in the past. The horseshoe shaped hair isn’t visually appealing which is why it’s propped up in the first place. There are few bald brands that a bald person can morph into. These bald brands were heavily marketed and still continue to be marketed. By leveraging one of the following bald brands suitable to you, you benefit from their unique reputation.
Dominant bald
To boldly live with your exposed scalp despite what everyone else may think is bravery. This quality is realized when a person makes the first step by shaving their hair to skin level. The very first time is the transition ritual, morphing you into the dominant bald character. The rest of the work is all about confidence leading to success. Bald dominant men owe their success to those who market this particular persona. The media has been responsible for marketing this persona on large screens since the early ages of youth, men have seen bald stars. Bald men play a domineering character in action packed thriller movies whether they are heroes or villains doesn’t make a difference. They have a memorable impact on the mind of the public due to their similar shaven domes. The iconic look is reinforced when other actors use it as well. Repetition of the same look increases brand awareness. Bald domes are shiny and can catch camera view more easily. Not to mention baldness is often marketed as the key factor that gives them an edge in competition. Also many men outside the media industry brand baldness as sexy to their friends and family. Furthermore, a dominant bald man is often accompanied by a muscular body, especially big biceps. Muscular frame is almost inseparable from a dominant man’s body that when people hear the description bald and young they assume muscular frame. Also, after a man starts to lose his hair, the first advice he gets is to go to the gym. Additional accessories may be worn to show dominance such as long beard, sun glasses and flashy clothes. Overall a dominant bald is all about overconfidence, muscles and showing off what you have whether that is wealth, women or whatever doesn’t matter. You can morph into this persona to take advantage of preconceived beliefs such as intimidating your rivals. It's a hard persona to copy but it may be your only option to beat the social impact of hair loss.
Intelligent bald
Baldness is usually associated with intelligence under the right conditions. One right condition would be a leadership position. Another condition is a teaching position where the younger generation are taught. Generally older men have accumulated enough skill to be in either leadership or teaching positions. Older men are also likely to have less hair than younger men. While children are growing up, they probably linked baldness to intelligence unconsciously since their elders are balding. Most adult men above 30 years old are balding. Everyone has seen intelligent professors facing the opposite direction to teach while exposing their naked scalps. All the life-time’s worth of knowledge they have gathered up in their head to teach a large audience didn’t help to at least cover the naked scalp on the head. Some students believe that over-thinking and stress probably caused the professor's hair loss. Many of the greatest thinkers such as hippocrates are bald. You can see intelligent bald men from the past depicted in statues, paintings and stories around the world as a result people have naturally associated baldness and intelligence. Most of the experts that show up on the media are bald, further linking baldness to competence. Intelligence isn’t only about logical thinking but also emotional intelligence needed for dealing with social situations. Comedians are emotionally adept at using humor to get what they want. In fact they build their whole career on humour. Intelligent bald persona requires real competence to morph into otherwise you will make a fool out of yourself by using pretentious words you don’t understand. If you don’t want to be a clown instead of a comedian, build competence first. Additional accessories may be worn such as reading glass and smart wear to support bald intelligence. You can morph into this persona to take advantage of preconceived beliefs, forwarding your ideas to priority rather than other people's ideas. However be warned if there are other bald intelligent men, the competition will be cut throat.
Senile bald
Becoming a senile bald man is an unavoidable fate for most men unless preventative measures are taken. For those who give into hair loss, embracing the senile bald look is the way forward. There is at least one grumpy old man in every family who displays the senile bald character perfectly. This character can only be emulated if you’re old enough or suffering from an illness. Don’t be mistaken, the senile bald persona isn’t as useless as it seems. Senile bald men gain the empathy of others especially from close relatives. The senile bald persona is relatable because everyone has that member in their family as a grandfather or father figure. Within family dynamics elders play a role in guiding youth. The role of guidance extends beyond close relatives to everyday people. The reverence paid to senile bald men is due to their advanced age which comes with many life experiences that are often shared with family. Advanced age is proof of a person’s survival ability. There is mystical reverence associated with aged people as they have witnessed historical events that led to the current circumstances. Respecting elders aligns with cultural value ingrained in people since childhood. Religions and the legal system endorse treating elderly with respect. The practice of respecting elders is passed on from generation to generation. The many offspring of senile bald men also bestow honour on them. Generally speaking men with many children have more credibility in society as they have proven their responsibility to care for offsprings until they reach full majority. To morph into senile bald persona a certain condition must be met which is to at least look old enough. A grey hair will help you take advantage of preconceived beliefs to gain respect. However, there are obvious disadvantages. In conclusion senile bald persona is a good option if you’re already considered incompetent for work or not virile enough for dating.
Default bald
Ordinary bald men who don’t have anything special such as dominance, intelligence or senility will not have a facade to mitigate the bald look. In reality baldness is ugly despite all the propaganda surrounding it. The default bald look is for those who don’t bother to compensate for the bald look, leaving people undistracted from the naked bald spot. Whoever lets the sides of their hair grow while the top is exposed has given up on their hair and has embraced their own degradation. Even though they live oblivious to the effects of baldness, it does tax their quality of life in hidden ways. Unless you gain dominance or intelligence, you will fall to the default bald category and the only way out is growing old which leads to senile bald look. Most men who are balding are in the default bald category and their large number doesn’t make the shame any less. Preconceived beliefs about default baldness is moral decay. It's easy to morph into the default bald look. All you do is let yourself decay.
Belief
Except for the default bald look, what empowers the bald brands mentioned above is the belief that baldness led to its success. However it was due to other factors not connected to baldness itself. The propaganda surrounding baldness always makes it seem it was the shiny dome that is the special quality needed to make the brand impressive. Some may call it marketing instead of propaganda but it's more akin to the latter as it uses false information, tricks, and manipulation to influence people. Propaganda is the pillar supporting baldness, brainwashing millions to believe it's a sexy feature to have. Ask yourself would anybody be bald if it was an option. The answer is an obvious no. If it weren’t for propaganda, baldness would collapse to being a curse just like in the past. When people accept the belief that baldness is sexy, then it really comes into existence, meaning baldness will be treated as actually sexy. This is the power of the bald brand. Even so not everyone falls for it.
