Men With Shaved Heads Perceived As More Powerful
When study participants were asked to rate certain images of men in different categories, those who had shaved heads were thought to be taller, stronger and more powerful than theircoiffed peers. In order to make certain it wasn’t other features affecting the outcome, participants also saw images of the same men but with hair and with the hair digitally removed. In other test, men were described but their images were not shown.
Guys physical strength, better leaders and taller
Many male professional athletes shave off their hair
Think about how men with shaved heads are often perceived in entertainment and the media and perhaps this starts to make a bit more sense.

Do fellows with shaved heads seem more powerful to you?
Ready for the bad news? In the categories of attractiveness and age, these fellows were typically viewed as less attractive and older than those with thick heads of hair.
On the other side, it appears men with thinning hair who are stuck in the middle of balding and holding on to what they have left ranked the lowest in all the categories. It seems once hair loss starts occurring men fortunately do have a few options if they are appearance conscience.
