What Does A Man's Bald Head Signal? | Do Men With Shaved Heads Project Dominance & Authority?

About this video

Centeno analyzes a 2012 University of Pennsylvania study examining how people perceive men with shaved heads versus men with hair. He discusses the study’s findings on dominance, confidence, masculinity, and attractiveness, and addresses the perception difference between a fully shaved head and thinning hair.

Key takeaways

  • Centeno argues that men with shaved heads are perceived as more dominant, confident, masculine, taller, and stronger than men with hair, based on the study’s results
  • Centeno notes that while shaved heads are perceived as less attractive than full heads of hair, this disadvantage may be offset by the other positive perceptions
  • Centeno emphasizes that thinning hair is perceived negatively across all measured traits, so men with thinning hair should either shave completely or avoid discussing hair loss
