What was the deal with that monk haircut? In this episode of Vox Almanac, Phil Edwards explores the history and controversy behind the style.
Known as "tonsure," the typical monk hairstyle has many variations throughout religions. The particular hairstyle worn by Christian monks has its own variations and controversies as well. Three different types of tonsure were popular: a coronal tonsure, a Pauline tonsure, and a third Celtic tonsure that came to represent the differences between the Roman Catholic and Celtic Catholic church.
The winding path of this tonsure is a new way to look at the division within the religion and the unpredictable ways something like hair can represent faith.

@Jeremy Lueth when I worked at Target there was this very tall guy that I saw every couple of weeks, always wore black, studded leather, sometimes a trench coat. He had a shaved head but there was also a very large, distinguishable scar across the entire top of his head. I never ended up talking to him. Not really that relevant to your question, but they're probably still around in some parts.

FOR THOSE WHO ACTUALLY WANTED THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION “WHY DO MONKS HAVE THAT HAIRCUT?”: (This is a very quick answer to sum up a lot of historical discussion) - Hair = riches, power, vanity and sexuality etc. In cutting off their hair, monks were showing their willingness to forgo worldly concerns, principally wealth and sexual relationships - for the same reason, Christian nuns cover their hair. - alongside this, short hair mimicked those who had become slaves, showing them to be servants to christ - it is thought that the original disciples of jesus similarly cut their hair - there was also a strong element of group identity; those of a religious order were instantly recognisable - it showed discipline; keeping hair in this style required maintenance and not doing so was often seen as abandoning the religious way of life PS most believe, I think, that the Celtic tonsure was shaved in front of a line running from ear to ear. The Roman = crown of thorns, The Celtic = indicative of slavery

They said it very fast and briefly in the beginning of the video. A shaved head normally means englightment and Buddhist munks often shave their heads for that purpose. The tonture loosely resembles Jesus's crown of thorns around this head. Which is why it looks like that.

I always understood that the monastic tonsure wasn’t just a symbol of separation from the world but a means to avoid vanity. It resembles a man losing his hair, something that all men, even back then, would worry about.

No mention of having the cut show signs of maturity. The crown is a usual sign for the light hair folk. The grey horse hair wigs in the day is another example.

There's no way that you can convince me that this wasn't started by some guys who were embarrassed about their bald spots, and decided to make the bald spot a fashion trend that everyone else had to follow. It's "I'm part of a cool trend, I'm not going bald!" and it ended up lasting for centuries because other balding men like the idea too.

Like a receptor or a antenna hair holds and conducts energy. The crown chakra in this instance of a friar cut realized intuitively. It is also called the Sahasrara or thousand peddled Lotus located beneath the fontanelle of the skull. This is why youth is usually more intuitive because the fontanelle is still open with the soft spot and it’s eventual closure.

During Spanish colonization in the Philippines, friars have a coronal tonsure in different missions such as Agustinians, Franciscans and Dominicans and one of the famous friars used in the tonsure was Padre Damaso in a novel “Noli Me Tangere”
