So many big action stars of Hollywood, Aalim Hakim points out, be it Vin Diesel, Bruce Willis or Jason Statham, are all bald. “It’s a dynamic style statement. Being bald commands attention,” says the hairstylist to several stars and sportsmen.
Aalim, who has also been rocking a bald look for many years now, says it allows for several options when styling facial hair and to work on your jawline as your face is naked. And you can make yourself more than visible with statement glasses and the right clothes. He loves the new freedom in fashion which he says is genderless. “It’s a blank canvas for you to throw paint on. Though being bald used to be a very masculine look, you can push the boundaries of fashion and styling today. You could paint your nails, or wear earrings. Like I wear a nose pin with statement glasses, and including a nose pin and a manicure is not going to make you any less masculine today,” says Aalim, who is often seen sporting cool nail art too. So, whether you choose to shave your head to look tough or just because your hair is falling out, it’s a good time to be bald and beautiful.
WHY SCALP CARE IS IMPORTANT
A bald look is best enhanced with facial hair and glasses. But make sure to shave your head regularly and on time, to keep the look neat and not show shadow patches of hair growth. Keep the beard neat, clean and sharp, and wash your beard with a beard shampoo and apply beard oil and shine products,” suggests Rupesh Pailkar, creative director and trainer, Jean Claude Biguine Salons.
