I mean really, you can say brunettes, blondes, reds, browns, balds?
Probably reds and browns is wrong too....

You can't, really, it's an adjective, not a noun.
Your examples are also wrong - it should be blondes, brunettes (which, technically, includes people with black hair), redheads, etc.
You could use the noun form "baldie" or "baldy", and pluralize it to "baldies." It's slang and not proper English, but it would make more sense. It's more accurate and proper to say "bald men."

Bald.
There is no plural. Think about it. It's an adjective. Even using one of your choices, how would it go in a sentence? Try and create a sentence with those choices. If unsure, substitute "bald" with another adjective. Like "ugly". How do you make ugly plural? I'm not the greatest in grammar so I just make up examples and see if it will work or not.

There is no plural for bald. It's an adjective and English doesn't pluralize adjectives.

If you try to use as a noun its like saying a deer in the headlights. To make that plural you would still say deer as, there where a dozen deer in the headlights. You don't say deers, its just deer. But I don't think you can even do that. It would be, there are 4 bald men. Not, there are 4 balds.

bald is an adjective. you don't pluralize adjectives (you dont say: thins, fats, pretties, uglies, neats, stupids, etc)
you pluralize the noun that the adjective is describing...those guys are bald...those dogs are fat...that picture is neat...etc.
it can be a verb - balding
to the answer below: i still dont think balds is correct...how would you use it in a sentence? that guy balds? he is balds? he used to balds? that doesnt make sense. that guy is balding, that makes sense. i dont know...i just dont think you can pluralize it....keep working on that mba buddy.

i think it's more of an adjective than a noun. ex. "there are bald men" ; or "there's a bald man", but i don't think that it has a plural

Bald is an adjective. Adjectives aren't inflected for number or gender like in other langauges.

red headed women, brunettes, blondes, bald headed men
Or you could always use what Mr. Sonny suggested earlier: baldies.
