According to a Belgian proverb, what is the comb that nature gives us when we are bald?

The comb is experience.

Experience

There is another website (in French alas) that attributes the "proverb" to the French actor Bernard Blier, who in spite of his baldness became a quite popular star in France. The French version of the "proverb" (it seems to be a quotation actually)is as follows:
"L'expérience est un peigne que vous donne la vie quand vous êtes devenu chauve."
