Similar to a shaved head, facial hair can make the wearer look older, more established and even more aggressive (like Bryan Cranston's "Breaking Bad" character, Walter White). It can also make him look like a renegade or hippie, which may be why they are not usually seen on politicians. But research suggests that a little stubble can make men more attractive to women.

Although a bald head can make men look older, it is often better than the alternative of a head full of obviously thinning hair. Many men are trying to beat Mother Nature at her own game by shaving it all off. And research suggests that a bald head could have its benefits, with both men and women find bald men to be more assertive and stronger looking. We're looking at you, Vin Diesel.

The stereotype of the long-haired hippie still holds true. Men who let their hair grow out are generally telling the world that they are more rebellious -- like when Jared Leto had long locks. Professional and older men generally opt for traditional short haircuts, which have not changed much over time.
