baldheaded

Lacking any hair

Baldheaded describes someone whose head is bald—having little or no hair on the scalp.

The term applies both literally a baldheaded man and as casual description or mild insult.

To go at something baldheaded means to rush in without caution or preparation, suggesting the exposed vulnerability of an uncovered head.
