This reply might not make it to you before your interview but I wanted give some advice anyway. I actually have never done an interview bald but I met a woman who has been openly bald her whole life and was hired multiple times over the years after successful interviews. She said that beforehand--like when arranging the time for the interview--she would say something like "I wanted to let you know that I am bald due to a condition called Alopecia. Some people confuse my lack of hair as a sign of a chemotherapy patient but I am completely healthy". If you cannot talk to them beforehand I would try to bring it up it in person as directly and as soon as possible. That way everyone (you included) can focus on your qualifications rather than on your head.
I love your attitude and I hope things go well for you!

Anyways, I'd like to advise you being always cheerful and comfortable about your look - that's you and if you feel great, then everyone should admire you.
