I wrote this a few months ago - from the perspective of being a bald woman - most of these are already mentioned, but I'll give it as I wrote it:

The Top 10 Benefits of Alopecia Universalis

10.The smoothest, silkiest legs ever, with no shaving, razor burns, or stubble.

9.Totally hair-free underarms, and no post-shaving pain when you apply deodorant.

8.Never any embarrassment when you “forgot to shave” your legs or armpits. And, no “short and curlies” peaking out of your swimsuit!

7.Instant relief from overheating (particularly in the event of a hot flash) – by simply taking off whatever is covering your scalp.

6.Salesclerks, public employees, and just about everyone you meet is really nice to you when you’re a bald woman.

5.There’s no need to take a shower before you go out just so your hair will look good.

4.You never have to pluck your eyebrows (or your chin, if you’re middle-aged).

3.No more bleaching or waxing that pesky upper lip hair.

2.If you’ve had permanent eyebrows and liner applied, you never have to spend time (or money) on eye makeup.

1.You never have to worry about “a bat in the cave” – no hair in the nostrils means no boogers can get caught there

No prickly, hairy legs to worry about

Actually, I think I still have goosebumps....but, there's just no hair standing up in them. I've gotten some laughs out of friends by saying things such as: "that music is so beautiful - if I had hair, it would be standing on end!"

the countless free drinks my friends get me by betting random women at bars that my legs are smoother than theirs.
