bald head

Smooth bare cranium

A bald head is a head with little or no hair, whether from natural hair loss, age, or deliberate shaving.

The phrase is slightly redundant—bald alone usually implies the head—but appears in descriptions and compounds: His bald head gleamed under the lights.

Bald head also names various birds and fish with pale or bare patches on their heads.
