People who are bald tend to stay bald unless an outside force promotes hair growth. This is why people who merely shave their heads are not bald.

How about if you die in a horrible scalp-shaving accident?

Then you get nominated for a Darwin Award, but you are still not bald. Those who were not bald when alive are not eligible to become bald posthumously.

Plus doesn't hair and fingernail growth continue for a little while after you die? So even if you did die while or immediately subsequent to shaving, you would not be permanently hairless.
