 baldness
      n : the condition of having no hair on the top of the head [syn:
           phalacrosis]

From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 Baldness
    from natural causes was uncommon (2 Kings 2:23; Isa. 3:24). It
    was included apparently under "scab" and "scurf," which
    disqualified for the priesthood (Lev. 21:20). The Egyptians were
    rarely subject to it. This probably arose from their custom of
    constantly shaving the head, only allowing the hair to grow as a
    sign of mourning. With the Jews artificial baldness was a sign
    of mourning (Isa. 22:12; Jer. 7:29; 16:6); it also marked the
    conclusion of a Nazarite's vow (Acts 18:18; 21:24; Num. 6:9). It
    is often alluded to (Micah 1:16; Amos 8:10; Jer. 47:5). The Jews
    were forbidden to follow the customs of surrounding nations in
    making themselves bald (Deut. 14:1).
