bald-headed

Lacking scalp hair

Bald-headed describes someone whose head is hairless or nearly so: a bald-headed man in his sixties.

The term is slightly more emphatic than plain bald, often appearing in folksy or colorful speech: He went at it bald-headed, meaning without hesitation or protection.
