not everyone looks good bald but sometimes baldness just ain't an option. there are 3 types of baldness; the kind u're born with, the kind u choose as a fashion statement, and the kind u grow old into.

alopecia universalis is a condition that renders the individual hairless from birth. it is a hereditary condition that passes from generation to generation and is basically caused by a mutant gene. people who suffer from AU do not have a single hair on their bodies. though hair follicles can be found, there are only very few and these few do not contain hair shafts. an AU patient has no facial hair, no arm or leg hair, no armpit hair, no pubics...not a very pleasant abnormality to go through.























baldness may be a problem to some but others consider it a fashion option and some really do look so sexy bare.

















































male pattern baldness is the most common type of hair loss in men. it usually follows a typical pattern of receding hairline and hair thinning on the crown, and is caused by hormones and genetic predisposition. this kind of hair loss is actually hereditary as well and is caused by the X chromosome that carries this recessive 'flaw'. thus, pattern baldness is more common in men than in women. however, male pattern baldness may not be that bad a thing. as the saying goes, men appreciate with age and a receding hairline may even contribute to a man's worth.



































and some have their poor wives reminiscing the good old days.
