My rooster is making all my hens bald because he holds on the their feathers on their heads while he is mating and by the time he is done, there is a big chunk of feathers missing. I have heard of the need for saddles, but I need helmets.

Anything I can do, or is this normal?

Helmets...that's funny. Is he a young rooster? If he is , he may get more gentle as he matures. Otherwise I would try to find a rooster who is more of a gentleman. Just my 2 cents.
