A sunburn on your bald head is so fkn uncomfortable. On a hot day with the sun on your dome you can sweat off sunscreen pretty quick if you're being active, too. Hat is a must in the summer.
Of course confidence is attractive, but know what's more attractive than a bald guy with confidence? A guy with hair with confidence.
I haven't done any of the mitigation pills/creams, but I do poke around SMP subreddits once in a while (about 20% of those jobs look good and the other 80% range from kinda okay to atrocious). If a transplant or some other cure was convenient and didn't require ongoing medication I'd jump on it (no judgement whatsoever on the guys who do that - Blankall's experience sounds totally cool).
I'd also be interested in having a few wigs, tbh. Not like full on hair systems with glue and crap that you have to swap out and wash every month or whatever it might be, but one I could just throw on if I felt like having hair for a day of shopping - in the same way people sometimes just feel like wearing a cap for the hell of it. I don't think that's really a practical thing, though. Obviously one off Amazon would be ridiculous, but the other ones seem to require glue and a hair stylist to blend it in and stuff. I don't feel like turning hiding a bald head into a GD lifestyle. Too big a hassle for something not that important to me.
I usually wear a beard for six months or so every couple of years. I like it, but it really pigeon holes you into "one look" (shaved-head-and-a-beard guy). Nothing wrong with that, but I like to shake it up once in a while. Currently beardless since May and don't feel the need to grow one for the time being.
On beards - if you've never had one I'll tell you one magical thing that can't be overstated: the feeling of walking out in the cold with a warm face is unreal. It's so amazing how that facial hair traps the heat...doesn't matter the temp, you will always have a comfortable face for an unlimited amount of time outside. It's so neat.
