How it's used
Refers specifically to a completely hairless scalp, often implying a shaved look rather than natural hair loss. It carries a slightly playful or blunt tone compared to the more neutral term 光頭. It is frequently used when commenting on someone's sudden change in hairstyle or a clean-shaven look.

Common phrases
to shave one's head bald
Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe someone who is naturally balding or thinning, as it specifically implies a smooth, hairless surface. Calling someone a 撻頭 can sound rude or mocking if the person did not choose to shave their head.
