* Inverted with the Seanchean in ''[[The Wheel of Time]]'', for whom baldness is a social indicator. Members of the nobility partially shave their heads, the high nobility mostly shave their heads, and the royal family is entirely bald.
* Kin Arad, the heroine of Terry Pratchett's ''[[Strata]]'', and, by extension, all female long-lifers, since "hair didn't last past the first century or so". She wears a wig, though.
* At least one of the hominid species living on the [[Ring WorldRingworld]], the City Builders, have hairless crania on both genders. It's not a fashion thing, just speciation, although what conditions led to a species with more or less our ecological niche losing their head hair isn't explained.
* Valerie Russell in ''Valiant: A Modern Tale of Faerie'' by Holly Black.
* Santuna in the [[Cordwainer Smith]] short story "Under Old Earth". In her case, it may be a reference to the grooming practices of ancient Egyptian nobility, since the man she's in love with is compared to the pharaoh Akhenaten at one point in the text.
