Basic Trope: A character (especially a child) is only drawn with a few strands of hair, making them appear bald.

  • Straight: Bob appears bald, but has some strands of hair.
  • Exaggerated: Bob is mentioned to have very long hair, but doesn't seem to have any hair at all.
  • Downplayed: Bob simply has very short hair.
  • Justified:
    • Bob's hair is a very light blond.
    • Bob is a baby/very young child - babies don't usually have much hair.
  • Inverted: Anime Hair
  • Subverted: ???
  • Double Subverted: ???
  • Parodied: ???
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted: Bob has regular hair.
  • Enforced:
    • Bob is meant to be based on characters like Charlie Brown.
    • A simple way to show that Bob is a baby.
    • Bob was originally drawn as a baby/very young child, so drawing him with hair when he's older makes him nearly unrecognizable.
  • Lampshaded: "I'm getting my hair cut soon-" (looks in a mirror) "Oh, wait!"
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: Bob decides he will grow his hair out.
  • Discussed: "Do you like my hair?" "I don't know, you don't seem to have a whole lot."
  • Conversed: "I wonder why characters are often drawn with a few strands of hair."
