baldness
Chrome dome condition
Baldness is the condition of having little or no hair on the head.
It usually refers to permanent hair loss rather than a shaved head.
Male pattern baldness—receding hairline and thinning crown—affects most men to some degree as they age.
The word extends to worn patches on fabric or bare spots in landscapes: the baldness of the winter hills.
