Bald Canvases

Philip Levine's Head Designs Turn Bald Heads Into an Art Form

— March 8, 2010 — Unique
When Philip Levine started losing his hair in his early twenties, instead of getting depressed about it, he decided to embrace his baldness and have fun with it. Levine hired Kat Sinclair, a professional body artist, to paint different colorful designs or scenes on his scalp weekly. Phil Levine's artistic creativity goes beyond using paint to decorate his head; he has adorned his head with tacks, 1000 Swarovski crystals, and even inserted acupuncture needles into his scalp in the shape of a butterfly.

Phil Levine's head-turned-art-canvas is turning heads wherever he goes. As an unexpected, but welcomed reaction, Phil is inspiring people suffering from alopecia and cancer, who are going bald as a result of their illness, to paint their own heads, which he says makes them feel empowered and special.

Now that's what I call using your noggin!
Trend Themes
1. Head Art - The trend of creating art on bald heads, using them as canvases for body art, has the potential to disrupt the beauty and creative industries of hair, makeup, and tattoo art.
2. Empowerment Through Baldness - This trend of embracing and celebrating baldness, and using it as a form of artistic expression, can have a disruptive impact on the health and wellness industry by promoting self-confidence and empowerment.
3. Personalized Hair Loss Solutions - As more people embrace baldness as a form of individual expression and are inspired to paint their own heads, there may be opportunities for businesses in the dermatology and beauty industries to create personalized hair loss solutions beyond wigs and hair transplants.
Industry Implications
1. Beauty Industry - The beauty industry can be disrupted by incorporating baldness and head art into their products and services.
2. Tattoo Industry - The tattoo art industry can learn from and incorporate the creativity and techniques of head art into their own designs and works.
3. Health and Wellness Industry - The health and wellness industry can adapt to this trend by incorporating educational resources that encourage self-love and empowerment, especially for those suffering from alopecia and cancer.
