Why did the Japanese samurai shave the top part of the head?

Question:




Answer:


That shaved part is called "sakayaki"(月代)
They started it to avoid their heads being sweaty when they put on a helmet.
A man had to shave the front of the head when he became adult.

I'm not sure why they did it usually.
Someone believe they wanted to hide their baldness.
