The Evolution of Oprah Winfrey

Will we see a bald Oprah Winfrey?

Demi Moore all clean and shiny in her 1980s turkey, GI Jane.

Way back in 1978, the late Indian actress Persis Khambatta did a star-turn as the sexed-up alien Lt. Alia in the first Star Trek movie, Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

The Chinese actress Bai Ling played it exotic, as a Thai slave in Anna & The King.

The quirky singer turned nun Sinead O’Connor and her head-turning baldpate?

The evolution of Winfrey is amazing and would serve notice to women that they had to keep up with time to stay relevant in the world of good looks and body-beautiful. But it may be costly to maintain them. Men may have to play the part of sponsors to keep their wife conditioned and presentable. It isn't the look that justify beauty, but it is the impression that sometimes count. It is a price of self-esteem and actualization.



Would bald-head becomes the future fashion of beauties? Man had begun that fashion a decade ago. When would be see Bald women?

Bald women is usually considered odd, out of this world, and – at best – plain un-feminine.

Our culture has conditioned us with the thinking that long hairs is part of human attraction, particularly, females. Billions are spent, and hairdressers conjure up all sorts of tricks, so that we can turn heads our way. Stars and celebrities sign six-figure endorsement contracts for hair brands to entice consumers.

But what if the unthinkable happens? What if the trend one day – gasp! – was for women to have baldheads?

The latest in the long line of star baldies is actress Natalie Portman – for a role in the movie V for Vendetta.
