I don't really see it as ruining looks, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Besides, I'm sure Austin is confident enough in himself to know he's a good looking guy, he's a married man and has probably heard he's good looking, I don't think his husband or a lot of people are gonna suddenly think "oh he's ugly because he's not got his hair'. Granted a few will, but as said, beauty in in the eye of the beholder.

What I got from it is that Austin wanted to do it to prove how much he respects Gail and her strength and it visibly made Gail happy. Did she have to do it? No, but you could say that about anything. The bottom line is it made Gail happy and Austin wanted to do it to show his respect (we could argue all night he did it to get people on his side, but let's agree to disagree because we don't know how he felt or his intentions)
