baldy

Hairless head nickname

Baldy is a mildly teasing or affectionate term for a bald person: Hey, baldy, nice shine.

It can also describe anything notably lacking hair or covering.

The word is informal and usually playful rather than cruel, though context determines whether it lands as friendly ribbing or insult.
