  • Is There Dignity in Being Bald
    Ain’t No Such Thing as a Bald Headed Rock Star One of my many fantasies in life was to be a rock star (as recounted in Chapter 4). And, as you know, the key reason I had no hope whatsoever of being a rock star is a breathtaking lack of any discernable talent for the guitar…or for singing. The only thing I had going for me was a full head of black hair, and as one long forgotten girlfriend told me when I was a junior in high school, a faint and distant resemblance to Ricky Nelson. Even that started to go wrong during my freshman year in college. I began to find a few black hairs in the tub after washing my hair. I wondered if… Certainly not me! Couldn’t be! I had a widow’s peak, just like Ricky and Elvis…. I was destined to be a rock star or a network newsman. Hair was a prerequisite. I simply couldn’t be losing my hair. My grandfather (on my mother’s side) was bald. As were all my uncles on mom’s side of the family. Cue ball bald. With just that little horseshoe fringe around the sides. I’d read somewhere, probably in Reader’s Digest, that baldness is hereditary. If your relatives on your mother’s side of the family are bald, chances are fabulous that you will, indeed, be just as bald as they are. The good news, you’ll save money on haircuts. One summer evening, after a long day at my summer job at the paper mill, I’d taken a shower, washed my hair, and was watching TV.

I am not saying its verses, nor am I saying its words, but rather light pervades its every letter. Why? They said because an-Nur (light) is among the [onomatopoeic] words whose pronunciation points to their meaning, and defines them more than any other definition. Consequently, people recognize an-Nur simply through the pronunciation of this word. Light is not defined except by the true nature of that which it performs, namely being that by which visible things become apparent, and by which creation is revealed.

So are Bruce Willis, surfer god Kelly Slater and famous footballer Thierry Henry. Contrary to the ego-shrinking stereotype of baldness, the minimalist look gives these gents mettle. A man's shaved head—whether it's to-the-skin or with slight stubble—can suggest a sigh-inspiring combination of intellectual depth and machismo. This may be because early adopters included both artists and Marines. When Levi Pharaoh shaved his curly locks down to stubble last month, the 31-year-old marketing executive at apothecary MiN New York says "women in particular found it sexy." They told him he finally looked like a real man. Goodbye, bad comb-over. Hello, baldness. Bald Hairlessness is beautiful and bald is back.

  • Celebhair: a New Large-Scale Dataset for Hairstyle Recommendation Based on Celeba
    CelebHair: A New Large-Scale Dataset for Hairstyle Recommendation based on CelebA Yutao Chen∗, Yuxuan Zhang∗, Zhongrui Huang, Zhenyao Luo, and Jinpeng Chen( ) School of Computer Science (National Pilot Software Engineering School) Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications Beijing, China fchnyutao, zyuxuan, hzrngu, luozhenyao, [email protected] Abstract. In this paper, we present a new large-scale dataset for hairstyle recommendation, CelebHair, based on the celebrity facial attributes dataset, CelebA. Our dataset inherited the majority of facial images along with some beauty-related facial attributes from CelebA. Additionally, we em- ployed facial landmark detection techniques to extract extra features such as nose length and pupillary distance, and deep convolutional neu- ral networks for face shape and hairstyle classification. Empirical com- parison has demonstrated the superiority of our dataset to other existing hairstyle-related datasets regarding variety, veracity, and volume. Anal- ysis and experiments have been conducted on the dataset in order to evaluate its robustness and usability. Keywords: Hairstyle recommendation · CelebA · CNN · Classification · Dataset 1 Introduction Hairstyles, together with other facial attributes, affect personal appearance sig- nificantly. With the appropriate hairstyle, one's beauty can be enhanced. How- ever, most people and barbers have a very vague understanding of choosing one's suitable hairstyles. Therefore, it is necessary to build a hairstyle recommendation system to recommend the most suitable hairstyle for people, according to their arXiv:2104.06885v1 [cs.CV] 14 Apr 2021 face shapes and other facial attributes. However, the lack of relevant large-scale datasets with essential attributes for hairstyle recommendation has restricted the development of such a system.
