Bald Is Beautiful Day
An informal US day for being comfortable with a bald or shaved head, with roots in a long-running North Carolina convention.
Bald Is Beautiful Day is an unofficial observance on 13 September. It grew from the work of John T. Capps III of Morehead City, North Carolina, who founded the Bald-Headed Men of America in the early 1970s after feeling he had been judged for his baldness. For many years the group held a Bald Is Beautiful convention in Morehead City each September, with light-hearted contests and a golf day. Today the date is marked online by people who have lost their hair to age, illness or alopecia, and by people who simply choose a shaved head.
