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."
