To an ordinary guy, his hair is his crown and glory.  What more to a male Hollywood celebrity whose bread and butter is his looks?  Unfortunately, 8 out of 10 men will suffer from varying degrees of baldness and being a celebrity does not exclude anyone from this predicament.

So how do stars deal with this? Short of doing drastic hair follicle replacements and surgeries or modern medications, here are a few trick that Hollywood stars use to make their heads look like “glamour” written all over it.

Toupees

Humphrey Bogart and Jimmy Stewart were known for having hairpieces especially made for them and styled for them.  Although this is the easiest and quickest remedy for baldness, it does have its consequences.  Aside from being expensive and would require frequent maintenance, hairpieces are known for having an “artificial look” when exposed to daylight.  It might look good on the cameras but it would make an ordinary Jow look ridiculous and would not be advisable for everyday use.  Not to mention, winds exceeding 10 mph would definitely blow everything away and reveal to the world your “secret.”

Hair extensions

Receding hairline is the most common pattern of baldness.  It is also the most difficult to hide.  What to do?  Make the most of what is left.  Attach artificial hair to your own hair.  Matthew McCounneghey, Brendan Frazier, and Ben Affleck are rumored to have utilized hair extensions in (or maybe even out) of the silver screen.  While hair extension do have a not-so-drastic approach and, by all means, can be an everyday remedy, like toupees, it still has an artificial look in it and would only work with today’s cinema magic.

Drastic Hairstyles

This is the most common remedy that celebrities do to address their baldness. While comb over style ala-Donald Trump works well for elderly celebrities (as well as for the common grandpas) it does seem kind of out-of-date and has the word “bald underneath” written all over it.   Fortunately, there are now modern hairstyles that would effectively hide, or at the very least, reduce the effect of baldness.  Jude Law noticeably has a receding hairline, but with the right haircut and proper styling, we could hardly notice it on the silver screen.

Shaving it all of

However, if styling or haircut does not work for you, going all out could be the only way. It’s easy to do for the stylist and easy to maintain for the person. Vin Diesel, Patrick Stewart, Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson to name a few are perfect examples of celebrities who went all out when their balding patterns are no longer controllable.  Even with their crowns of, these celebrities still look dignified, attractive and retained the “glitter and glamour” celebrities are known for.

So take your pick; hair extension, new hairstyles, or going bald?  Whatever you chose, pick the one that would make you feel comfortable and confident about your self.

Don’t worry.  In this day and age, Bald is beautiful.

The newest craze in town- the Boys Over Flowers mania! After the traditional exceptional hit of Meteor Garden, ABS-CBN has come up another famous story of an ordinary girl and four dazzling and prominent guys of F4 in the Korean version, Boys Over Flowers.

Many are actually wondering why this Koreanovela has instantly become a hit in the Philippines though it was just aired barely a month ago. The answer is simple! It was not only because of the beautiful Cinderella-like story but also of the hairstyle that these main cast wear. Just like the Taiwan’s F4, Filipinos became fascinated with their hairstyle a few years ago. Filipinos even tried to mimic their hair cuts just to say that they are updated with the trend.

Asian hairstyles are gaining popularity these days. So, let’s sum up the hairstyle of Boy Over Flowers F4 to have a hint of what you should wear next.

Have you ever asked yourself about the secrets of Kim Bum? Playing the role of So Yi Jung, the hairstyle of Kim Bum is definitely one of his great assets except of course of his attractive chinky eyes and killer smile. Kim Bum is wearing a medium-long straight shag hairstyle which is deemed as a truly conservative Asian hairstyle that is perfect for Asian men.

Song Woo Bin played by Kim Joon is another boy next door member of F4. The Don Juan of F4, he is wearing the same hairstyle as So Yi Jung which makes him perfect to be regarded as a prince of real estate.

Perm hairstyle formerly hit the Korean ladies, now this hair trend has tapped the Korean men.

Hairstyles can pretty much determine how a person feel about herself. Most often, than not, people tend to judge you by just looking at your hairdo. A loose messy ponytail can aver your sloppiness or your carefree personality. And whether its embracing change after a bad break-up or impressing the interviewer to land a new job – how you style your hair can either lay open that you’ve moved  on or you’re confident of your capabilities.

While its true that your hairstyle does not offer any form of physical strength, it does, however, condition emotional and psychological fortitude.

The jagged and choppy hairstyle (the current popular emo hairstyle) body forth a sad emotional state of mind of an individual. On the other hand, people sporting a punk hairstyle are supposed to be rebellious and antagonistic. A shaved head or a baldy is considered to be bold and empowered while men with a layered hairstyle are regarded to be preppy. Women with  silky straight hair are perceived to be more serious, polished, and professional while women with curly locks are more bouncy, cheerful, and quirky.

So here is my confession. My hair is semi-wavy and most of the time it’s messy than sexy. I proved that after my boyfriend’s aunt commented on my unkempt tresses. When my mom offered to have my hair rebonded, I grabbed the opportunity and sat at Coco Salon for four hours. After the session, I was at awe. I definitely looked more polished and more grown-up. Thus began my wardrobe update, but that’s another story.

Yes, your hairstyle can affect your state of mind. A quick trip to the salon can either boost your self-confidence or shatter it when a stylist unintentionally gave you a bad haircut. Style your hair the way you want it to be perceived, and you definitely can’t go wrong.
