Balding is an entirely healthy and natural human process. Those two sentences seem fine with one another, until you think about what "natural human process" means. It's aging. It's getting old. It's getting out of reproductive phase. It's completely normal to be devastated for males (and especially females) when they start losing hair. It has been linked with numerous health problems (so it's just not for vanity reasons). It's very rare the case where bald looks better than full head of hair. Almost never, I would say. Full head of hair = indicates youth and good health.
