balded

Became hair-free

Balded is the past tense of the verb bald, meaning to become bald or lose one's hair.

While uncommon compared to phrases like went bald or grew bald, it appears in contexts describing gradual hair loss: He balded early, like his father.

The form also works as a past participle: Having balded considerably over the years, he finally shaved his head completely.
