Should I do laser hair removal on my forehead to remove thick, long baby hairs? Will it look natural and flattering? (Photos)

My forehead hair never grows longer than this. Also it makes my hairline look really messy and it bothers me a lot. I don’t know if laser hair removal could help me achieve a more smooth finish but still look natural( I’m afraid it will look bald) . What should I do?
