Today is Bald is Beautiful Day! Bald is Beautiful Day is dedicated to those who are bald. People can become bald because of genetics, because of medication or illness, or because they choose to be bald. Sometimes people choose to be bald because they like the style, but sometimes people choose to go bald to be in solidarity with a friend or family member who has lost their hair because of medical treatment. Whatever the reason someone is bald, this day is for them.
