Is growing out your hair in the corporate world alpha?

I've noticed a lot of senior people are balding in the corporate world. If I don't shave my head and have lots of hair does it intimidate them when they remember they are bald?

I can see this being an advantage in meetings when the other party is bald and trying to intimidate me. I can mess with my hair and because they don't have any will they feel more inferior?

Thoughts?

My take...

I seriously doubt there are many "senior people" that make it to the level of being "senior people" that are that neurotic or anxious about something in their physical appearance that someone could actually throw them off their game based on someone else having more active hair follicles, better skin, narrower waistline, being taller, etc., than them.
