I didn't even recognize him on Dancing with the Stars! Anyone know? Is it just a style change or is there a deeper reaso

There
is
one type of baldness inherited from the mother's X-chromosome.
One other notion occurs to me: That great mane of hair is so closely associated with the "Joey" character he played on
Blossom
that he's conciously trying to distance himself from that character in order to get offers to play other roles.
Reason: TV casting directors are so VERY timid about casting a performer as different
types
of roles that actors like Mr Lawrence, who are capable of more than one character, have to get from one successful show to another by way of films requiring a drastic change of appearance. (Film casting not being
quite
so married to the notion
"he played this type so that's all we're going cast him as."

I know how the guy feels, but this website should explain EXACTLY why he shaves his head.

The only risk is a bad doctor. Judging by some of the faces you see in Hollywood, there is a lot of incompetence. I don't think Joey Lawrence is going bald and do believe it was for a role. He looks like Mr. Clean.

Hair system ala Bert Reynolds or William Shatner.
I always thought that "system" was called a toupee, a hairpiece, a wig, a rug, etc and some of Shatner's looked
really
bad.
As to Mr Lawrence's baldness, he may have shaved his head just because he wanted to or for a part in a movie and decided to keep it or, as I said earlier, to distance himself from the
"Blossom"
show and the "Joey Russo" character with his magnificent mane.
I think he's trying to grow up as well as trying to grow as an actor. It's the casting people (and a few "fans") who wouldn't let him; they were still trying to cast him as the "teen heart-throb" character until he cut his hair.
