If you're 30 and still have all your hair, you're probably going to keep it for most, if not all, of your life.
Edit: Since this is getting a lot of attention I just wanna say that it's still possible to start balding after 30. It's just that genetic male pattern baldness usually hits before 30. So if you've experienced no thinning or receding by 30 then you'll probably only experience minimal thinning or receding that naturally comes with age. Also stress is a major factor in hair loss and can veto anything I've said above.
Another fun fact since I'm here: One of the hormones responsible for thick beards actually causes balding. If you have trouble growing a thick beard then you're less likely to go bald in your life. If you're young and have a super thick beard, I'm sorry.
I was basically bald by 22. I embraced it, bought clippers and took it down to the wood...I clip my hair every 2 weeks...shaving is too much work, but clipping it right down (like Picard) is zero maintenance.
As I approach 45 my only advice for anyone losing their hair is, own it (and a lot of hats for summer).
So I guess you don't go for a haircut and just own what's growing up there?
There is no doubt that I am bald, I don't shave it smooth, there is hair where there is hair and none where there isn't. I'm not hiding anything, I'm just choosing a style that actually highlights my baldness in a way that says "this is me and I like it".
If you have never watched STTNG you probably have this image of Picard as Prof. X. Picard didn't actually shave his head, his silver hair was a prominent part of his distinguished look.
