Phrase "A close, small head"

[Haihao]

Hi,

I have a question with the passage below:

[Alan]

Hi,

Not quite sure about 'close' in your text, Haihao. The first thought is it could mean 'compact' but that doesn't really make much sense. Probably your 'hair' idea is nearest and come to think of it, 'close cropped' is used for a very short haircut.
