BE BALD AND BE FREE DAY

Toss out the combs, say goodbye to bad hair days, and get ready to shine! October 14th is Be Bald and Be Free Day, a celebration of the sleek, the smooth, and the stylishly streamlined. This is a day to honor the beauty and boldness of a bare scalp, whether by choice, by nature, or by circumstance.

#BeBaldAndBeFreeDay

A bald head tells a story, and each one is worth celebrating. For many, going bald is a power move. It’s a statement of confidence, a commitment to a low-maintenance, high-impact look that turns heads. From action heroes on the big screen to the person down the street, a chosen bald head radiates pure confidence. For others, a bald head is a natural progression, a distinguished look that embraces authenticity. It’s a timeless and classic crown that requires no fuss.

Be Bald and Be Free Day also holds a special significance for those who have lost their hair due to medical treatments. For these warriors, a bald head isn't just a look—it's a powerful badge of courage, resilience, and survival. We celebrate their incredible strength today and every day.

We want anyone who is rocking the bald look to embrace it. There is beauty of a naked scalp. Whether your 'chrome dome' is the result of hair loss or shaving your head, this National Day celebrates you!

Let's be honest, being bald has some serious advantages. It's time we celebrate the fringe benefits of having your head look flawless 24/7? Plus, think of all the money saved on expensive shampoos, conditioners, and haircuts. Of course there is an unmatched comfort with the feeling of a cool breeze or a soft beanie on a smooth scalp is one of life’s simple, underrated pleasures.

5 WAYS TO CELEBRATE BE BALD AND BE FREE DAY

If you're ready to celebrate Be Bald and Be Free Day, here are a few ways you can celebrate today:

If you’re bald, this is your day! Show off your shine and post a confident selfie on social media. Let the world see you shine.

If you have a friend, family member, or coworker rocking the bald look? Give them a genuine compliment! A little positive reinforcement goes a long way.

If you've been thinking about shaving your head there is no better time than today to embrace a bold new look. We bet you'll look great!

Honor the strength of cancer patients and survivors. Consider donating to a local cancer center or a charity that supports those undergoing treatment.

Whatever you do, be sure to use the hashtag #BeBaldAndBeFreeDay to share the love online!

BE BALD AND BE FREE DAY HISTORY

Be Bald and Be Free Day was founded by Thomas and Ruth Roy from Wellcat to celebrate the unique beauty of a bald head.

Bald FAQ

Q. Should I go against or with the grain when shaving my scalp?

A. The schools of thought are divided on the topic of against or with the grain. If you want a closer shave, go against the grain. If you prefer to be gentle with your skin, go with the grain. This guidance applies where ever you are shaving.

Q. Do I need to wear sunblock if my scalp is bald?

A. Yes. Any exposed skin will be at risk of sunburn and damage when outdoors. Wearing a hat is another option.

Q. How often should I shave my head?

A. Shaving every other day or every third day will prevent your scalp from becoming dry and irritated.

Hair is like money and it’s like sex.

It’s only important when you don’t have it.

All my uncles were bald, as was my maternal grandfather.

I was hoping it might skip a generation, but no such luck...............

"Yeah, sure, I'll share. Let me share this little tidbit with you.

You guys are nuts. Attractive, virile, sexy? Women want ya? For what? To check their make-up?

But you human flashlights have really helped me. When I came here tonight, I thought I was bald. But looking at you 'guys, I realize two things.

One, I really miss shooting pool, and two, I'm not bald. Steve's not bald.

You guys are bald. Really bald. One hundred watt, soft-white bald.

Let me say one more thing. If and when I do lose my hair, I still won't be sitting here with you.

Cause I've got something at home that doesn't care what I look like. That accepts me for what I am, and is always there when I need it. My couch."

I do not care one iota about any man’s hair. But women, keep your hair, unless you are an extreme leftist. Warnings are appreciated! 🤓

DH has the prettiest head of hair. It is silver and curls when I delay the hair cut a bit. He dislikes it. Makes me cut it short. But every waitress knows exactly who I am talking about when I say, "I'm with the one with the pretty hair."

Finally a day for me.

A couple years ago I had shingles on my head. I couldn’t shave it for several weeks. I was honesty uncomfortable with hair.

G. Gordon Liddy said something like, Why would a man waste his testosterone growing hair.

I still have plenty (of hair and testosterone), but the pattern baldness on top makes a hard chargin' Marine Corps high-and-tight look kinda pointless.

I’m 71 and my hair just refuses to stop growing. I still have a full head of hair. Bald would actually be better for me now as I have to shower every day so my hair doesn’t look like a greaseball.

Been shaving my head bald since I was 19. My lady friend asked me to grow it out and it came back like Anderson Cooper. Almost pure white. I shaved it back off.

I get a kick out of balding men trying to hide it. Like they are really fooling people.

Fun Fact. The “Comb Over” is patented. PN 4,022,227

“G. Gordon Liddy said something like, Why would a man waste his testosterone growing hair.”

I remember one show when a caller asked if he could have any person’s hair who would it be. He yelled out “MINE.”
