They generally don't. There are some Hasidic women who do, but the vast majority of Orthodox Jewish women do not.

The great majority of Orthodox Jewish women do not shave their heads. They wear their hair short with a wig or kerchief over it. This is a form of modesty. They do not want men other than their husbands to see their beauty, which includes their hair (Talmud, Berakhot 24a). It is a somewhat different solution than the one used by Muslim women who conceal their hair by means of scarves or burkahs, but the idea is similar.

In the cases where Orthodox women do shave their heads, they do this to make donning and removing the wig easier. However, as noted above, it is rare for an Orthodox woman to shave her head.

So they can be beautiful in a wig but not their real hair? Women have suffered greatly in the name of religion and the misogyny of men!

The majority of Chasidic women don't shave their heads, it's a small fringe group that have this practice. It's an extreme interpretation of the Torah's comments on the beauty of a woman's hair being kept hidden.

The great majority of religious Jewish women do not. Covering the hair is sufficient. The few who do shave their heads, do so in order to preclude any hair being exposed (which would be immodest).

Only some Chasidic girls do that - usually, they cut their hair after marrying to avoid sexual attractions from men who are not their husbands.

Do all Ultra-Orthodox Jewish women shave their heads completely bald?

No. Not all orthodox Jewish women shave their heads bald. However some Jewish women do keep a shaved head. They usually wear a wig or headscarf in public after they shave their head bald. Of course some secular Jewish women, as well as other women, shave their heads not for religious or spiritual reasons but for fashion reasons, as some women actresses, fashion models, singers, etc. are doing these days. It is a chic sleek fashionable style. A woman needs to be beautiful and feminine, wear makeup and earrings and dress feminine, etc., for it to look good on her.

Monks and nuns shave their heads to remind themselves that the bodies they inhabit in this life are uninportant. It is also a way to make all monks and all nuns look alike so they won't be distracted by vanity.
