A bald head can really change our perception.

Would you like to look taller? Shave your head. 

Todd “Sween” Lahman, owner of Sweeney Todd’s Barber Shop in Los Angeles, says for men who are losing their hair, a shaved head is usually a vast improvement. 

Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania agree. A study that looked at perceptions of balding found that thinning hair made subjects look older. However, male subjects with a clean, shaved head were perceived as taller, more masculine, and more dominant than one with a full head of hair. People also estimated that the bald guys could bench-press about 13 percent more weight than their hairy opponents and were deemed more attractive than those with thinning hair.
