Monks in some Eastern religions shave their head as a symbol of renunciation of earthly things.
Monks in many Western traditions have shaved their heads as a symbol of humility and submission to God.
Summarised, mostly of a way of showing god that they dont care about the material things in life, but only care of him.

it has something to do with your hair being a record of the past. chaving their hair keeps them pure and clean.
