helmetlike

Resembling cranial armor

Resembling a helmet in shape or function—rounded, protective, enclosing the head.

The term describes anything with that characteristic dome-and-rim silhouette: a helmetlike cap of hair, the helmetlike hood of a cobra, helmetlike flowers on the monkshood plant.
