    There are people that shave their head that can grow hair even in the 21st century. Picard looks better bald, I think it makes sense as a style choice, and in the 24th century there’d be less societal pressure or shaming in being bald if you choose to be. It’s already changing today.

      As a bald dude let me just say while I have never taken shit for it, and I am also lucky to have a good shaped skull for the wrecking ball aesthetic, if I had the spare cash I would get transplants in a heartbeat.

      It is simply a matter of choice, if you want to shave your head because you think it looks good it’s one thing. But if you have to shave your head because you don’t want to look like mid 40s in your 20s, that’s very different.

        I’m 36. Started going bald at 21.

        I’m so used to me with a shaved head now that the thought of having hair freaks me out. If someone invented a way to get rid of the remaining bits of hair I have and let me keep my beard I’d jump at it.

          Yeah a beard helps a lot with the looks, at least I have that going for me. But still, a nice head of hair would be a welcome change, if only so I don’t immediately sweat into my eyes and face when it’s warm outside. Makes working out very annoying without a sweatband
