Why you should be bald

[ThePariot]

I really like how this guy wasn't just a joke character and they let him have his cool moment.

I love how being bald is basically the airbender equivalent of seismic sense.

[BibtheChib]

Clean shaved my head bald two months ago and I have to say that even without airbending I could feel like every tiny pulse of air from anywhere. Shit was like spidey sense.

[Zenith]

This is actually a cool thing they did

Aang always knew and felt something what was coming at him even when he’s not looking.
It explains why They go bald, not just because they’re a representation of Monks.

Edit:
Oh... 10k Likes... Funny i only found this out because of a war going under the comments XD

[trainknut]

Now we know why Aang always seemed to have superhuman reflexes.

You left out my favorite part where he says, "it's totally optional", and the look on the guy's face.

I love how in the exact last frame you see Bumi, maybe the hairest guy in the show, casually walking in

[JDzork]

I love how they never explained why air nomads are bald in TLAB, explained it here, then gave a side character a cool moment for no reason. Such a great show. No one has been able to convince me that TLOK is bad TO THIS DAY!

[GetsugaTensho]

Honestly as impressive as his reaction was, it is the speed with which he moved with that is far more impressive.
This terrifying individual moved so fast that he made that flying net look stationary.

[trendybistro]

The step up in animation from ATLA to TLOK never ceases to amaze me.

When I'm 70 and all my hair is gone, I hope I can at least dodge traps

[Abelhawk]

I love when Tenzin says “Shaving is optional” after he already shaved the guy. 😀

[RetroTaylor]

So far, being bald hasn't helped me escape from a man with a net. Someday...

"It is both humbling and freeing!"

I feel like Michael Dante DiMartino wrote that line himself 😂

[RyneMcKinney]

Daw made the best mistake of his life. He's also the first airbender outside of Aang's lineage to actually experience combat as a bald monk from before the hundred year war

[Reituco]

As a bald dude I can totally agree: not only is it more freeing but it also saves you more time on the shower

[HansaGBB]

After being bald for 4 years, I can approve that. You will also be the first one who feel the rain.

"You dont seem to understand....earth....is not yours to bend."

[sirGuy]

This actually makes sense, considering air is the parallel to earth, and earthbenders are barefoot for similar reasons.
