As a matter of fact, it’s something that men vehemently combat – not physically – but with their wallets. The hair loss treatment industry is worth <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/2012/jan/29/image/la-ig-balding-20120129" target="_blank">billions of dollars</a>, and it has benefited immensely from the societal stigma of bald men. But is all of that changing? If you’re balding, should you embrace it, or go a step further and shave your head?</p><p><a href="http://inspiyr.com/shave-your-head/shave-your-head/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-11144" title="shave your head" alt="shave your head" src="http://inspiyr.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/shave-your-head.jpg" width="640" height="427" border="0" /></a> </p><p>As men across the globe shop for Rogaine, discuss hair implants, and look for any excuse to wear a baseball hat, a new breed of pro-bald men is rising up from a pile of Donald Trump’s awkward, lifeless toupées and embracing their clean and smooth heads.

The study, which was conducted by lecturer Albert Mannes, was broken down into three tests. The first experiment gathered almost 60 participants and asked them to rank the photos of similarly-aged men, both bald and not, on how powerful, influential, and authoritative they looked. Overwhelmingly, the bald guys <a href="http://healthland.time.com/2012/09/28/shave-it-off-how-bald-guys-can-look-more-manly-and-dominant/" target="_blank">ranked higher in all categories</a>.</p><h5>People Will Think You’re Stronger</h5><p>In the second arm of the study, the participants were shown eight digitally-altered photos of four men – for each man, there were two photos: one photo of the man without hair and another with hair. In the end, the bald men were ranked as <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2012/oct/04/bald-men-dominant-image" target="_blank">more dominant</a>, 13% stronger, and, interestingly, an inch taller than their hairy-headed counterparts.</p><p><a title="Why Burst Training is Your Best Fat-Burning Workout" href="http://inspiyr.com/why-burst-training-is-your-best-fat-burning-workout/" target="_blank"><em>Related Article: Why Burst Training is Your Best Fat-Burning Workout</em></a></p><h5>People Will Think You’re a Leader</h5><p>In the <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/ideas-market/search/shaved/?s=shaved" target="_blank">third and final segment</a> of the study, 344 participants were given written and verbal descriptions of men; some guys were described as having thick hair and others as having shaved heads.
