I'm competing in my first show in a couple of week MMP. I currently shave my head but in looking at contest photos not many competitor in physique go bald. It appears to be much more prevalent in BB. If I go at it bald am I at a disadvantage? I'll compete in the masters and novice is bald head generally more accepted in masters over other divisions?

Thanks in advance.

I think it depends how good you look bald. Stone Cold can pull that shit off but not many people can lol

Its not important at all. The majority of BB's that are shaved bald IMHO is due to the use of pharmcy products and whicha side is hair loss.

The question is about the appearance for mpd, not bb, and why does the reason for balding matter?

To answer the question from what I have seen a hairstyle would be beneficial rather than the hard ass look of a shaved head.

If you have the right facial complexion and body it shouldn't matter much, most of the black competitors it seems are bald or have a very low fade, people like Jason Stratham and David Beckham, Dwayne Johnson, GSP, etc.

Thanks for the responses. Looks like I'm going to compete in BB, I just don't have that "model" look!

75% of women who compete and are judged on hair have hair extensions put in. It would seem that hair extensions are actually better than real hair???

I saw that you've already made your decision, but why not pitch in my two cents?

You wouldn't necessarily be at a disadvantage in MP.

Seems it's more about the overall look than simply whether you're bald or not.

from a hairdresser stand point: if you have a well shaped head: no lumps, bumps, and a balanced face: not a huge nose, chin etc. you can carry it. if your ugly, hair or no hair wont fix it..:)

Few do, few do.....that is why there is only one winner?


Oh I forgot......there are about a dozen height classes separated by only about an inch or so!

if you have the choice......not bald....hair is better and saying it should not matter is just taking a risk because it probably does make some impression for the positive to have good hair.

Agreed.

I dont think that would help there are so many others who dont have hair and are still preety handsome and plus you would be saving some time as you dont have to care abt your hair ,and also it feels gr8 no sweating and all.......so best of luck and focus
