Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 2250/1844=B/1429)

According to the Hanafi Fiqh, it is better to shave the entire head, it is enough if it is one fourth of head but it is makrooh tahrimi.  Yes, if it is less than one fourth then he will not be out of his ehram and he will be considered in the same state and will have to pay fine if commits any thing against ehram.

و في بدائع الصنائع: فالأفضل حلق جمیع الرأس لقولہ عزوجل محلقین رؤوسکم، والرأس إسم للجمیع۔ وکذا روي أن النبي صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم حلق جمیع رأسہ ? ولو حلق بعض الرأس فإن حلق أقل من الربع لم یجزہ وإن حلق ربع الرأس أجزأہ و یکرہ (بدائع الصنائع 2:330، کتاب الحج)
