Is bald included as a short cut?

We set up a separate length for bald and called it bald.  Why?  It’s not short hair.  It’s no hair.  The shaved bald look is very popular these days and warrants its own section.

Celebrity Men

The most popular length for celebrity men is short as well and has been for years.  You’ll notice it in our celebrity men section that most male celebs sport a shorter style most of the time.  We do feature multiple photos for each celeb so some may be long, but overwhelmingly most are short.
