National Large Head Day is observed on August 3. It raises a glass to well-endowed foreheads, which have been stigmatised for far too long. The holiday attempts to reclaim the magnificently large, bold, and beautiful forehead and encourage individuals to appreciate what they have.
The background of National Big Forehead Day
In some cultures, a large forehead is viewed as an indication of intelligence and attractiveness, whereas in others it is viewed as utterly unattractive. Even though concepts of beauty may vary from nation to nation, one thing is certain: fashion police are abundant in every era. Consider the women of the Renaissance, for example. At the time, a prominent forehead was one of the most prominent aesthetic trends. Portraits of women from this era feature prominent foreheads that hint at their attractiveness. As with most fashion trends, the big forehead trend was both intriguing and agonising. It consisted of women removing their hairline to achieve a prominent forehead. Some women plucked not only their hairline but also all vestiges of their eyebrows, causing them to never grow back.
Similarly, a few centuries later, Queen Elizabeth I became infamous for her prominent cranium, which she flaunted to death. Since she was queen and dictated the fashions of the period, large foreheads became the “it” thing. Some women even went so far as to irreversibly shave their hairlines in imitation of her. However, this was not the only time large foreheads were fashionable. Hindus have believed for millennia that a large cranium results in greater success.
In conclusion, aesthetic standards fluctuate over time and across cultures. Large foreheads typically run in families, much like the colour of your eyes; they are an inherited trait. They are exclusive to you and your household. Therefore, cast aside your critics and appreciate your beautiful large forehead. Take a cue from the dazzling Rihanna or Tyra Banks and flaunt that prominent cranium!
