Need Opinions ?

Need opinions..
The unfortunate and sad truth is that the hair on top of my head is slowly but surely going away. I don’t have cash for replacement surgery and quite frankly, the thought of it scares me as I don’t want a dead possum sewed to my scalp.
So...
Option one- continue to keep it short and let nature continue its miserable course.
Option two- dive head first into baldness and shave it all off...
Thoughts?!?!
