Quoting%20commentary for Bekhorot 7:2

הַקֵּרֵחַ, פָּסוּל. אֵיזֶהוּ קֵרֵחַ, כֹּל שֶׁאֵין לוֹ שִׁטָּה שֶׁל שֵׂעָר מַקֶּפֶת מֵאֹזֶן לְאֹזֶן. וְאִם יֵשׁ לוֹ, הֲרֵי זֶה כָּשֵׁר. אֵין לוֹ גְבִּינִים, אֵין לוֹ אֶלָּא גְבִין אֶחָד, הוּא גִבֵּן הָאָמוּר בַּתּוֹרָה. רַבִּי דוֹסָא אוֹמֵר, כֹּל שֶׁגְּבִּינָיו שׁוֹכְבִין. רַבִּי חֲנִינָא בֶן אַנְטִיגְנוֹס אוֹמֵר, כֹּל שֶׁיֵּשׁ לוֹ שְׁנֵי גַבִּים וּשְׁתֵּי שִׁדְרָאוֹת:

One who is bald is invalid? Who is considered bald? Anyone who does not have a line of hair that encompasses [his head] from ear to ear; but if he does have [such] hair, he is valid. If he does not have eyebrows, or if he only has one, this is the <i>giben</i> spoken of in the Torah. Rabbi Dosa says: anyone whose eyebrows droop. Rabbi Chanina Ben Antignos says: anyone with scoliosis [lit. "two backs and two spines"].
