No matter which way you slice it; the 90s represented a period of huge change and evolution in the UK. From the rise of New Labour to the emergence of the so-called “Lad” sub-culture and Britpop, it was also a decade of genuine hope and optimism for people across all age ranges.   Towards the end of the 1990s, we also saw the rise of the ‘Metrosexual’, with this term melding the words ‘heterosexual’ and ‘metropolitan’ to coin a new breed of male that was increasingly interested in fashion, grooming and skincare.   This particular sense of style is no longer in vogue, h ..read more

Historically, workplaces took a dim view to male employees who sported facial hair in the office, with even Jeremy Paxman’s decision to grow a short beard when hosting Newsnight prompting huge debate on social media as recently as 2013.

We don’t adhere to stereotypes here at The Bald Gent, but if we did, it would be highly unlikely that we’d run ourselves a cold shower in the morning. After all, pop culture has told us that freezing cold shows are equal to an act of torture, reserved for those attending military boot camps or ‘psychotics’ if you believe George Costanza from ‘Seinfeld.’ It’s even synonymous with curbing an active libido, which is hardly a ringing endorsement for showering under cold water! However, if you were to start your morning shower hot and turn it cold for the last few minutes, you’d actually find that ..read more

While it may not seem like it, there are some similarities between losing your hair and eyesight. Aside from the obvious sense of loss, both of these entities were once surrounded by considerable stigma, which was underpinned by aesthetic concerns and how others would perceive us if we lost our hair or began to wear glasses. Fortunately, the landscape has shifted considerably in recent times, with the advent of bald Hollywood icons and designer frames central to this evolution. However, if you’ve only recently started to lose your hair, you may feel like the glasses you used to wear don’t suit ..read more

Looking for the best bald head moisturiser of 2021? You’ve come to the right place. As a bald guy myself, I know how hard it is finding decent products on the market that not only hydrates the skin, but helps maintain your skin’s barrier. Hair, wherever it is on the body, acts as a protective barrier from the world.  When we’re cold, hair on our bodies will stick up to produce an insulation layer, trapping air particles.  Alternatively, when we are hot, hair will flatten to allow our bodies to cool. That being said hair not only helps control our body’s temperature but it also helps ..read more
