July 10, 2025
Another amazing week here, we had fireworks, fights, freedom, Fine women all around, and frolicking. What more could a grown mask ask for :)
Well, maybe a full head of hair..But you can’t always get everything you want.
Hey, let’s have some fun. I am going to see how many music references I can fit into this newsletter. The reason why…
Ughh, why the heck not? We are celebrating.
So, America’s big day, the 4th of July, has come and gone, just like our hairlines.. hahahah .. but, as a new week is here, we do not have to feel the burden of not having any hair.
Why you ask..
Because, as you will read, a shiny head can lead to a sharper mind, as well as a blind passing motorist in a car if the sun hits that amazing shiny head of yours as you’re exercising or driving.
Shit being bald is truly a exceptional thing.. As a guy who had long locks before, and then having to go through the realization that this hair has to go, can be tough. But looking back, the hairline being pulled back to the middle of my hair was aging me by at least 15 years
It was hurting my game with the ladies. Single or Married, sometimes you just gotta “ let it burn,” Usher reference,
With that being said, welcome back to The Everything Bald Newsletter
"Shiny Dome, Sharper Mind"
Theme: Letting go of hair isn’t just aesthetic. It clears your damn mental bandwidth.
Let's get into it.
IN TODAY’S EMAIL:
You’re leaking energy — but not where you think.
Baldness isn’t a look. It’s a bandwidth upgrade.
One clean cut > months of emotional residue.
Something about your dome is making people lean in… why?
🧊🧊 Cold nuggets - The COOlest of COOlest interesting articles related to the bald life.. that will make you look or feel super cool.
Stuff your dome deserves this week:
🧊 Zen Dome Serum – Lightweight scalp serum that gives your head a peaceful glow. Calms both scalp AND soul.
🧊 The Bald Hypnosis Track – 15-minute audio session to rewire your brain for bald confidence. It’s not magic. It’s neuroplasticity.
🧊Digital Detox Timer (App) – Disconnect. Think. Regrow focus, not follicles.
🧊Wool Beanie Season Pack – Because Fall’s here and your dome still deserves soft hugs.

💡 Deep Thoughts: Hair Loss and Headspace
1. Your brain is not your hairline.
*Neuroscience confirms: we make ~35,000 decisions a day. When you’re obsessing about your scalp in 20% of them… yeah, you’re running at a deficit.
2. Vanity is bandwidth theft.
*A study from the International Journal of Psychology revealed that men who constantly worry about appearance report higher mental fatigue and lower satisfaction.
*Shave it, own it, redirect that juice toward building something.
3. Bald = Mindful.
* Less distraction = more focus. You start noticing the way your breath moves. The sharpness of cold air. The way the barista flirts differs when you lean in with confidence.
4. You stopped checking your hair. Now you’re checking your bank account, posture, and purpose.
Coincidence? Nah.

From r/bald😀
“Got called bald on Twitter… I shave every day because I like being bald… He thought it was an own.”
When people try to shame your baldness, you just laugh louder.
Another warrior’s voice from r/bald:
“Does anyone think it’s hilarious when they shame me for being bald? I chose it. Proudly.”
Confidence is a choice—let it define your scalp story.
“The buzz cut hits different after years of hiding… #glowup”
Sometimes the best transformation starts with letting go.

The worksheet? It’s not busywork. It’s a tool to help you realize how much more room you have when you stop obsessing over what’s leaving and start focusing on what’s rising — your presence, your focus, your direction.
You’re not hiding. You’re not hustling to prove anything. You’re just showing up — clear, bold, and unapologetically real.
And here’s the part I’ve been thinking about:
Why is it that when a bald man walks into a room, people listen differently, even trust him faster?
Next week, we’re unpacking that energy. The Bald Aura Effect — how your clean dome can actually amplify your presence and shape how others respond to you.
