A poll of 1,000 blokes suggest that bald fellas are actually more likely to get chatted up – blokes can thank the likes of Bruce Willis for making baldness cool
Bald blokes have a “secret superpower” over women.
A poll of 1,000 blokes – 500 slapheads and 500 with hair – found the baldies were more likely to get chatted up. They were also more likely to feel an “air of irresistibility” that boosts their confidence.
More than six in 10 of those polled got more “admiring glances” after losing their locks. By comparison, just a third of those with hair had seen women eyeing up their thatch. Just over half of the bald blokes said celebs like Bruce Willis made a shaved head “cool”.
Tony Moore, 39, of Ashford, Kent, lost his hair in his early 30s.
He said: “Eventually a female friend at work just told me I’d look great with it cut short – I went down to the barber shop and asked him to take it all off.”
The roofer added: “Women seem to find my head irresistible and are always asking to touch it.”
Jessica Leoni, from Illicit Encounters which ran the poll, said: “Confidence is key and bald men who embrace their lookoften radiate a self-assurance women find irresistible.”
Some blokes aren’t so sure and many with a mop on top are trying desperately to keep it.
In December last year, eggheads revealed that scoffing eggs could stop you becoming a slaphead. People worried about their thinning barnets are being advised to add more of the vitamin-rich food to their diets each week.
Dr. Emma Patel, a renowned nutritionist and hair health expert, said eggs are a powerhouse food for hair health as they are packed with biotin, the protein that makes up hair.
Research found people who ate eggs three times a week had stronger, less brittle hair and experienced fewer hair shedding episodes over a period of two months. Over 3,000 individuals’ dietary habits were analysed for Dr Patel’s research with Cardplayer Lifestyle.
Other powerful allies in the battle to keep your barnet were found to be spinach, salmon, nuts and seeds and sweet potatoes.
Those who ate spinach regularly saw a reduction in hair thinning, with those who ate it at least three times a week seeing thicker hair and better overall scalp health after just six weeks.
And people who ate salmon twice a week experienced a 20% decrease in hair thinning and breakage, with the omega-3 fatty acids thought to help boost scalp circulation and encourage hair growth.
Dr Patel said: “Eating these foods can definitely help nourish your hair from the inside out, but consistency is key.”
