Be Bald And Be Free Day

On October 14th, Be Bald and Be Free Day honors the naked crown. Often the day is referred to as Bald and Free Day.

#bebaldandbefreeday

This holiday, Bared noggins take the spotlight. It acknowledges the beauty of a naked scalp. Baldness takes many forms, as well. Sometimes a chrome dome is by choice, whether partial or complete. Others get it naturally.

This National Day honors you whether your "chrome dome" is a result of hair loss or shaving your head. Not everyone goes bald from traditional aging and hair loss, but not everyone goes bald. Some people lose their hair from medical procedures, making this observance extra special for these individuals.

How to prevent being bald and being free day

Naturally, we want you to post your bald selfies with us on social media. Many people going through medical care also need assistance. The day gives the opportunity to assist those going through therapy as well. And of course, be sure to use #BeBaldAndBeFreeDay as a hashtag to post on your social media pages...

Also, give a shout-out to those you know who are on top. Whether you're using the day to tease or support a friend, be sure everyone enjoys the day.
