The six dots on his forehead are scars from moxibustion burns, similar to the pattern that appear on the forehead of a Shaolin monk. After settling down with his new family, his hair grows out, although his original smooth crowned look is the most familiar to fans. He also mentions that he waxes his head to keep himself bald. During his training with Goku under Master Roshi, Krillin comments that 'All who aspire to master the martial arts shave their heads in order to unfetter their ki' and seemed surprised to find out Master Roshi was naturally bald.

Due to his original monastic training, he merely shaves his head. However, later on, his eyes are more open, and the color of them seem to have disappeared completely, making the inside of his eyes the same color as his skin. In the Dragon Ball: Adventure Special magazine, when asked why Krillin does not have a nose, Akira Toriyama responded 'Krillin has a physical idiosyncrasy that allows him to breathe through his skin.' Earlier on in the series, and throughout the entire manga, Krillin had white eyes that were often squinty looking, giving off a bored expression. Krillin does not have a visible nose, however, he seems to be able to smell until someone mentions it (like Goku during the 21st World Martial Arts Tournament): he smells the diamond Bulma took from the Pirate Cave, and he smells the enticing trap meal in the Mirror spaceship.
