head shave

Complete hair removal

A head shave is the act of shaving one's head completely bald, or the resulting hairless state: She got a head shave for the charity fundraiser.

The term can describe either a self-administered shave or one performed by a barber.

Head shaves may be practical, stylistic, or symbolic—athletes, cancer patients, and those making statements all participate in the practice.
