If he was referring to a man who shaved his head, his image before shaving might be more ordinary. For example, the customer in the hair-cutting video posted by Teacher Gan Xiaohua was burly and had no temperament before shaving his head. He was addicted to playing games and had no time to take care of his image. After shaving his head, with the help of a skilled hairdresser like Gan Xiaohua, he chose a hairstyle that suited him, giving his facial features a better three-dimensional feeling. His entire image was renewed, and he instantly became a "handsome guy." From a woman's point of view, for example, a woman with bad hair quality and hair sticking to the scalp might look dull and lifeless before shaving, but if her hair was cut short and permed into a big curl, it could reduce the sense of procrastination and become a young lady. There were also women with long straight hair. Before they shaved their heads, they had the same straight hair. They lacked creativity and were like obedient school girls. However, after cutting short hair at the neck and curling up the ends of the hair, they would look more stylish and exquisite. For example, Tang Yan's short hair style (whether it was a wig or real hair) when she was filming the new drama. Before she changed her hairstyle, she had long hair. After changing her hairstyle, her short hair and gray suit showed the professional temperament of a professional woman, but it also caused controversy over whether she was a wig or a professional. In general, the changes before and after shaving were not only reflected in the appearance, but sometimes it also led to discussions about other topics such as the professionalism of actors.
