OK To Grow Beard With Bald Head as SA?

Am balding, have ~4-5 months or whatever till SA starts, so theoretically have time for hair to grow back. Thinking of going bald, but obviously bald ppl look better with beards.
Part of me doesn’t GAF about the balding (own it, go all the way) but part of me also wants to try rogaine etc etc. and see if I can buzz or something. I think anything that looks ‘clean’ or ‘trim/cut’ is fine professionally, but just wondering if there are any no-no’s before I take the plunge that aren’t exactly obvious or just tips to make things look better. Appreciate you guys and your support... and yeah it’s gonna be a funny time getting roasted by the boys back home for sure “bro you’re 20 and balding!!?!??” - all good banter though, thanks.

 

shave it all during SA, for FT feel out the beard.

this is a very group dependent question.

 

Stubble to be honest. No is going to care if you are balding. You can personally keep your hair and if you want, you can shave it off. No one is going to ask you because it is disrespectful.
