An Indian vlogger from the state of Kerala has turned his bald head into a means of earning.
According to Indian media, 36-year-old Shafiq Hashim made headlines last month when he posted a video on social media, offering companies the opportunity to advertise on his bald head.
Now, Shafiq Hashim has secured his first advertisement, which, interestingly, is from a local hair transplant company.
The company’s advertisement has been temporarily tattooed on the vlogger’s head and will remain for three months. During this period, Shafiq will create at least three YouTube videos highlighting the advertisement on his head.
For keeping the ad on his head for three months, Shafiq will receive 50,000 Indian rupees. Later, the tattoo can be removed using special chemicals.
Shafiq hopes to receive even better offers in the future. He claims to be the first person in the world to use his head as a billboard.
According to Indian media, Shafiq decided to use his head as a billboard when he initially considered getting a hair transplant. He stated that baldness is a natural phenomenon and should be embraced.
