Thanks. Did he do it in a encycle or something? New Advent says that it just passed out of practice with tacit consent.
It was outlined in Pope Paul VI's Apostolic Letter Ministeria Quaedam ("On first tonsure, minor orders, and the subdiaconate"), issued 15 August 1972.

I was wondering. Are there any monks that shave their head anymore? I came across Acts 18:18 and thought of this.

Buddhist monks shave their heads:
