Six celebrities who prove baldness is totally badass!
Going bald isn’t the end of the world. If your hairline is receding faster than the speed of sound, fret not. You have a few options to work your new-found baldness to your advantage. Your first option is to become a headgear guy—from beanies and baseball caps to fedoras, your options are endless (read our story on hats here). Hats only add to your style! If you’re not a ‘hat guy’ grow a beard (read our story on beard grooming here). Lastly, embrace your new shiny dome with your whole heart just like these famously bald dudes. We can’t even imagine them with a mop of hair on their crowns!

If this doesn’t make you comfortable in rocking a bald look, we don’t know what will.

The Avengers’ actor wears a lot of hats in public, so it’s easy to miss his perfectly shaped bald head. Jackson likes to experiment with wigs in order to make the characters he portrays different—liked the ‘curly do’ he rocked in Pulp Fiction or his afro in Unbreakable. According to deadline.com, Jackson’s long-time wig consultant, Robert L. Stevenson, said: “He was losing his hair at one point and said, ‘if I just shaved it all off could we still create looks with wigs?’ I said, ‘Sam, we can basically do anything with wigs.’ That’s when we started getting into it.”
