Hmm... wes, but I, not yet bald but so little hair on top that I shave it cut it (myself, using an electrical haircutter) very short, have noticed one big disadvantage.

I'm satisfied with my looks, but the heat (sun rays) and cold impact from the environment were significantly reduced with hair. I still notice the difference when I let my remaining hair grow longer during winter, and then cut it short again.

This winter I even had to wear something on my head in my apartment after cutting the hair, because I kept it pretty cool and just wore a bit thicker clothes. Except, my head.

It's a problem with sun and with cold. I now understand why people would ear it long in the past, before hats. It's such a great insulator!

I understand the struggle, I was never a hat person until I went bald - now that hats are necessary in the winter I have learned to enjoy them. I still opt for sunscreen in the summer though.

Find a bucket hat that suits your style and wear it constantly--including indoors.

Especially if you are tall, the hat will prevent you from walking into low-hanging obstacles and winding up with scars on your head.

Hat's are wonderful, and it's quite criminal that they went out of fashion with Kennedy.

That said, don't run off and by just any old fedora or bucket hat. Get something cool, that works for your head and body shape. Pick something that says you.

Hats, along with socks and watches, are the only accessories that men can really show personality with in this day and age. It's a real same that so much of men's fashion is so devoid of personality.

Beanies (I think Americans call them knit caps) keep your head warm and take ten years off your age.
