uncrested

Lacking a comb

Uncrested means lacking a crest—the tuft, ridge, or ornamental feature that typically crowns something.

Most often describes birds without the raised feathers some species display on their heads: The uncrested females were harder to spot among the branches.

Also applies to helmets, coats of arms, or waves that haven't peaked.
