Hunting a hair model. The sort that gets rudely refered to as "bald biker". Bald on top and long around the edges. I'm pretty sure that a couple of suc probably exist, but nothing is coming to mind.
Fortunately the illo is a low light situation where I can cobble something, so it can be for any model back to M3 if necessary. Or one of the old modular sets of various random hair sections might do as well.
I've probably already got something buried in my library that would work. But since the store search is useless, I'm asking actual human people instead.
ETA: I did find MAB's modular hair, but would apreciate any other suggestios anyone might have.

My first thought was Odin hair (which I didn't know was made by SamSil), but that may not be bald enough for you.
There's this one... https://www.daz3d.com/silver-fox-hair-for-genesis-9-and-genesis-81-male
If it was for a static render I'd probably kitbash https://www.daz3d.com/old-george-hair-for-genesis-9 and https://www.daz3d.com/hs-dforce-mischief-maker-hair-for-genesis-9 - they'll both take omni shader.
I'm pretty sure this is exactly what you're looking for -

Definitely a static render. And most of those would do for the base. I'll have tto try and see if adding the modular hair to it will give me what I want. The Odin and Silver fox are not bald enough and a bit too long. But the M3D hairs look promising.
Thank you all!
Maybe this one https://www.daz3d.com/mr-banks-hair-layers-for-genesis-8-male

I have some freebies too, but I would have to hunt around for the links, assuming they are still available.
Note that despite the lack of hair folicles, bald hair models often have really high poly counts.
I have all of those and they're great hairs... however, the original poster was specifically looking for something that was long hair on the bottom and bald on top. That was a look that was pretty common back way back in the day when men clung desperately to the last scraps of their hair, but it's pretty much vanished since simply shaving the entire head became the new mark of extreme "macho". There was an actor who specialized in playing weasely villain-types back in the 70s and 80s named William O'Connell , who played one of the Black Widow Biker Gang in the Clint Eastwood comedies Every Which Way But Loose and Any WHich Way You can, who the description immediately broght to mind... but I couldn't find a decent shot of him not wearing a hat in those films, so here he is in High Plains Drifter.
Otherwise, at more extreme end, maybe something like this?
