12 Things You Discover When You Go Bald

6. If You Need Glasses, You'll Choose These

Thanks to the barren wasteland that becomes your head once hair up and leaves, most men will tend to feel as if their head is not swankily decorated enough to suit their personality. Some will choose the dreaded head tattoo - but these people have issues and should not be approached. So instead, the route most visually impaired fellows will head down is that of the "interesting glasses", and by which, I mean thick, black rimmed spectacles. You'll tend to find the more artsy types are the usual perpetrators, and is more often than not the bald way of expressing mild hipsterdom.

5. The Sun Becomes Your Arch Nemesis

There is a time in all our lives where we enjoy the fun and relaxation which comes with a hot, sunshine-soaked holiday in warmer climates. But there tends to come a point in the lives of the receding gentlemen when you realise that the sun is no longer your friend, but your greatest enemy. No matter how much sun screen a bald chap tends to coat their head with, it never seems to be enough. Instead, what you're left with is a crispy fried squire, often with a comically spared patch where the protection really decided to make a last stand. So what you'll tend to see is a swarm of the vulnerable-headed type cowering under the parasols of the poolside, should we be dragged along to the hotter corners of the world.

4. Hats Are Your Best Friend

A lesson you will quickly learn from your experience with your encounters with the merciless sun god is that the common hat will become your closest ally. Yes, there is a problem in that not everyone suits a hat, and those who do tend to not suit the ones which properly belong around a pool, but they're a vital companion in your battle with the elements. Nevertheless, thanks to the televisual juggernaut of awesome that was Breaking Bad, there is currently a deluge of bald folk roaming the streets wearing the Heisenberg hat.
