Tonsure Hairstyle
They should add a Tonsure Hairstyle so my Monk can have the EPIC bald on top and hair all the way around. Elder Scrolls 3 and 4 both included these hairstyles and I believe it would be cool to have in BG3

Not fantasy enough: half the male population of the real world ends up getting it naturally.

By the way, did you notice that Buddhist monks shave all while samurais often had the tonsure ?
Ideally, fantasy hairdos should be tied to class, race and culture. Like, no long hair in the Spartan-type army, no alchemists with beards, mandatory wigs for Baldurian bards, that sort of things...
There are a lot of other types of monks it isn't strictly a Buddhist practice. There are Catholic Monks, Orthodox Monks, Hindu Monks, Jainism Monks, and Sikhism all have Monastic Monks.

Also Tonsures are totally fantasy, that hairstyle has been in style since the Dark Ages to Late Medieval to Today. Other Fantasy titles like Elder Scrolls, Game of Thrones, and Dark and Darker, Chivalry, and Total War make use of Tonsures.

The Tonsure could fit a variety of classes, like Monks, Paladins, and Clerics. Races that use them could be Humans, Half-elves, Elves.

The Class Background would also make room for a Tonsure with the Outlander, Acolyte, or Urchin Backgrounds.
