Shaved Head
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Head shaving.
In popular culture
A goatee, usually of the Van Dyke variety, is often worn to complement the look or add sophistication; this look was popularized in the 1990s by professional wrestler "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. For most of the crime drama series Breaking Bad, Walter White (played by Bryan Cranston) wore a Van Dyke with a shaved head. In futuristic settings, shaved heads are often associated with bland uniformity, especially in sterile settings such asV for Vendetta and THX 1138. In the 1927 sci-fi film Metropolis, hundreds of extras had their heads shaved to represent the oppressed masses of a future dystopia. It is less common for female characters to have shaved heads, though some actresses have shaved their heads or used bald caps for roles.
