Thinning hair is fine and mocking someone for it is mean and unhelpful, and body positivity is being cool if someone decides to stick with it. However it's not contradictory to say "given your situation you would look better bald tho".

A white lie is good when it's about something one can't (easily) change or when criticism is uncalled for. This is the opposite situation where the criticism is called for and the straightforward advice to go for it is cheap&easy to implement.

In fact if someone is actively seeking advice, I would argue that unconditionally saying "you look great don't change anything" is a form of toxic positivity.
