<p>Do you see completely bald men more often these days and wonder what can possibly be the reason? Its simple. </p>.<p>The trend of getting your head shaved as a style statement is catching up among Indian men. Joining the league of several Indian and international personalities such as Raghu Ram of MTV Roadies, music directors Vishal Dadlani and Loy Mendonca and Hollywood stars Michael Chiklis, Bruce Willis and Vin Diesel, men today don’t hesitate shaving their heads off and actually carry the style confidently. <br /><br />Different people cite different reasons for shaving their heads. What binds them is the pride and comfort with which they carry off their new style. <br /><br />Many men who begin to lose hair opt for a bald head. Fed up of the increasing hair fall, Prantik Chakraborty took a bold step. He shaved his entire head hoping that it would improve hair growth. “Though shaving it off didn’t help, I found that it suited my face. I started shaving my head around five years ago. Now, it is a part of my style and people say that it suits me,” says Prantik a corporate communications person.<br /><br />For 34-year old Darshan Singh Rautela, an accounts teacher, the reason was not hair fall. He parted with his thick hair just to be carefree. “I first shaved my head when I was around 18. I liked it then and now after around 16 years, I cannot imagine myself with hair on my head! In fact, if I start growing hair now, I would feel really awkward!” <br />Though young women have also started sporting shaved heads, the bald look seems more suited for men – especially those who have a rounded shape rather than an oblong or pointed skull shape. Experts say that strong facial bones help when it comes to carrying off this style. Shaved head makes a person look more masculine and it literally makes him stands out.<br /><br />Some also choose to stay bald during a particular season and get back to their style later. Chetan Sharma, a media professional prefers going bald in summer. “The first time I got it done, people asked me questions like ‘Is everything alright’ (referring to the Hindu tradition of the son shaving off their head on the demise of either a parent/grandparent) but now they are used to seeing me.”<br />For those of you considering the bald look, it may appear a drastic step, but believe you me, those who embrace it will not regret it! <br /></p>
