Jason Alexander aka George Costanza is a good image of a regular American bald guy. He embodies that 1970s and 1980s bald hairstyle look where you let the sides creep out to medium length.

Nowadays you see most dome bald men shave it clean (most popular with men of African descent and bikers), trim it close (looks good with graying hair) and sometimes even a ponytail with the side and back strands. Not so Jason, he likes to keep it in the middle range. I don’t know that I would recommend that route but it at least goes to show that there is a middle ground in bald hairstyles and a little variety too. Maybe it is not so much of a style as a lack of style or lack of action, just a let it be, proud of who we are mentality. For Jason this was a great look for his Seinfeld character. And I think the case could be made for this style with a beard especially we might call it the Roman or Greek bald style.

That must be an easy job for the barber when he goes to get a haircut, there is only about 30% of the head of hair and you just measure a few inches out and snip snip your done. Of course shaving with the clippers would only take 15 seconds flat. I wonder if he still gets charged the same. Its not that fair.

As George Costanza, Jason also helped bring the topic of baldness to public consciousness in a few of the Seinfeld episodes. I think he has done very well for the “regular bald guy” role.
