The study found men who have shaved their heads are also seen as better potential leaders

The study found men who have shaved their heads are also seen as better potential leaders.

It found Hollywood action hero Bruce Willis was seen as being more manly than others who were not bald or had not shaved their heads.

Researchers did three experiments to see how people perceived bald men. A group of 60 people were asked

to look at 60 photos of men who had differing amounts of hair.

Those men with shaved heads topped the ratings in terms of how powerful and influential they looked.

In other tests, bald men were seen as more manly.

Lead researcher Albert Mannes at the University of Pennsylvania said the boldness of the act of head-shaving fed into a perception of dominance.
