With regards to agent Elrond of the movie, you know.
Oh, poor Hugo Weaving! He's never going to live the unusual combination of roles down. When I think of him though, he's often done up in drag as he was in the Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

But on topic, I don't recall anything about balding elves anywhere. Many of them are described by their beautiful hair, so I can't see elves being bald at all. If they don't really show any other signs of aging (aside from the occasional beard) then it doesn't seem logical that they would start to lose their hair. I'm no expert, though, so maybe the answer is tucked away in a Letter or a volume of HoME which I haven't gotten to yet.
