Our TV-boyfriend Mark Salling goes for the bald look in this photo taken during his 4th of July vacation. Because of his new haircut, let’s add Mark to our list of “Bald Guys are Hot” celebrities.
Vin Diesel (real name: Mark Sinclair Vincent) sure loves him his black leather, doesn’t he? In fact with his leather pants paired with a leather jacket, one can say that he is over-dressed in leather. But he is a hottie so we’re letting him get away with it. Unless of course if he’s wearing leather undies underneath them pants which would be beyond overkill and which, to us, is unforgivable. As punishment for such a fashion misdemeanor, we’d order him to watch his silly movie, The Pacifier, again and again and again until he apologizes for his fashion faux-pas of wearing all-leather. Hehe.
Sam Kass: Sexy Bald Hunk is White House Chef
Do you remember Sam Kass, the White House chef we blogged about last January? We OMG’d then when we first saw his photo but here’s an even more sexier photo of the bald hunk. Gawd. He is so shaggable! He is probably the sexiest bald guy these days, no? We can’t think of any other current guy who can out-sexy him.
Hot Bald Guys & Male Models: Henry Sawasrati & Marcelu Ferraz
Who says its bad to have a bald head? Not this guy who just arrived in our inbox (in case you are wondering, his name is supposedly Henry Sawasrati). And not guys who have fine-shaped heads. So if you’ve got a great head and you are losing your hair, well, you should embrace the bald.
Brett Silvers: Bald Hunk of the Day
Oh wow. Look at that really really shiny head on Brett Silvers. It’s so sexy. Makes us fall in love with him. He would be committing a crime if he ever grows some hair or uses a wig that would hide that awesome sexy bald head.
Want more men who are embracing their baldness? Check out these bald male hotties. They’re really hot, eh? And we still haven’t added the hottest of them all like that Yul Brynner guy. Wait until we get hold of his photos.
Bald is hot. Jason Statham, Guy Ritchie's burly leading man, is shorn. So are Bruce Willis, surfer god Kelly Slater and famous footballer Thierry Henry. Contrary to the ego-shrinking stereotype of baldness, the minimalist look gives these gents mettle.A man's shaved head—whether it's to-the-skin or with slight stubble—can suggest a sigh-inspiring combination of intellectual depth and machismo. This may be because early adopters included both artists and Marines. When Levi Pharaoh shaved his curly locks down to stubble last month, the 31-year-old marketing executive at apothecary MiN New York says "women in particular found it sexy." They told him he finally looked Hairlessness also turns back the clock, making it difficult to tell a man's age. And it highlights a fellow's bone structure and eyes. Frederick Blacksher, a 22-year-old aspiring actor in Los Angeles, cut his thick black hair (no thinning in sight) to a few millimeters because "it makes my features stand out." But for most men, a head shave is a white flag in the battle against male-pattern baldness.
Receding hairlines spur otherwise sane men to torture themselves cosmetically, often with unfortunate results. These include the dreaded comb-over, Rogaine fuzz and the crop-like appearance of hair plugs. Compared with this, a Gillette razor and a pot of shaving cream should seem like a walk in the park.
Rickey Pitino, a 35-year-old revenue controller for a Manhattan law firm, waited until his two-week vacation in Italy to try out the style. That was three years ago and he's still shearing it all off.
There was a time when it was iconoclasts who shaved their heads. Telly Savalas built an acting career on his bald head and icy Kojak stare. Before him, so did Yul Brynner. Neo-Nazi skinheads scared folks off the look for a while in the '80s and early '90s, but once they'd receded into the background of political consciousness, the look gained allure.
A shaved head took "The Shield" star Michael Chiklis from dweeb to stud. A shaved head has helped actor Patrick Stewart ("Star Trek"'s Captain Picard) extend his sexy years into his 70s. Both men look as though they'd be as comfortable drilling holes in the sidewalk as speaking in iambic pentameter—and that's the magic of bald.
Despite appearances, though, a man's scalp is not tough. John Scala, founder of the New York Shaving Co. on Elizabeth Street in Manhattan, offers consultations for do-it-yourselfers. Fully shorn himself, he begins with a diagram to map the direction a client's hair grows. He then recommends a routine that begins with preshave oil to smooth the razor's path over any bumps, and ends with applying an SPF sunblock for both summer and winter.
Many barbers recommend a safety razor for the cleanest shave. Men who aren't prepared to go fully nude can set an electric razor to one or zero, leaving hair so short it can be measured in micrometers.
No barber I spoke with recommended trying a straight razor on oneself, and most of them use the word "weapon" when referring to those sleek instruments. MiN New York sells them, but as collectors items, not shaving tools.
At Groom-It Industries in Los Angeles, Les Kovacs sells safety razors, including disposable models designed strictly for the head. In this shop, he has a wall full of professional-grade electric razors, trimmers and other devices. He has even been asked to adjust electric razors to shave more closely than a zero setting permits—thereby eliminating some of the safety aspects of the devices.Mr. Kovacs says he's been selling increasingly to do-it-yourselfers for five years or so. Their numbers are so great these days, he says, "I'm waiting for women to start doing it."
