No shaved head but I am bald and have more of a problem with sweat in the eyes in the summer and must wear head band to hold back the flow.

I wear caps all the time, some thicker than others, depending how hot it is. When it's cold I'll wear the thicker ones until it's -8, then its the fleece lined one. BOOM.

I live in South Florida and don't seem to have a problem with the sweat rolling down in the eyes, it could be the helmet I've been using the last year+, Specialized Echelon, all of them have a nice "grill" like vent on the front, great airflow on the forehead. Check them out.

In warm to hot weather (55 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit), I go with a Pearl Izumi lightweight, wicking cycling cap. Colder than that, I usually go with a Gator neoprene cap that lacks a brim and looks like a medieval serf's skull cap. I've ridden with the Gator cap in temperatures down in the upper teens and it has done the job nicely.
