Addressing alopecia in a job interview

I have started the process of looking for work. I have not had to interview since I lost my hair. I'm completely bald and wear nothing on my head to cover it. I would like to get advice from all the great people on here as how I should deal with the elephant in the room during an interview. Any help or advice would be great.

P.S. Unless you can wear your skin with conviction, boldness and image carried off like a total fashion package this will also work.

I would focus on presenting a strong confident interview first. Then if it makes you feel more comfortable to address the alopecia do that towards the end. The way alopecia is becoming more common, there is a good chance the interviewer knows someone with this condition. If they not familiar with alopecia, then you can inform them that it is not cancer, not contagious, and will not affect your job duties. Good luck with the interviews!

Your skills should be the focus here, not your hair.
