I'm thinking the other way: if it ever happens to me, I'll just embrace the baldness. But I imagine it's a lot easier to say that now than it would be at the time.

Biggest hangup I think for men is "what if I have a weird shaped head" or something that looks strange to them. If I knew how I looked bald before I shaved it all, I would have done it sooner.

As someone who did just that, it’s all about perspective: balding is a condition; bald is a choice.

This! I'd much prefer to have a full head of hair, but since that's not an option, I prefer to be bald rather than visibly balding 🤷

(And getting surgery for this would feel excessive. Not to mention the transplanted hair would just start balding too because of the same hormones that caused balding in the first place, so it's just putting off the inevitable.)

I've had long hair like a sindardin elf my entire life. This would be traumatic af to me. I'll just pay to win. Lol
