The Comb-over


So in conversation the other day, a comb over came into topic, and it was about a very bad comb over. We are talking obvious, so much more than Donald Trump obvious, we are talking old school comb over.

Come on fellas, it is the 21st century, most people today just give up and shave as the bald look is accepted. But this guy was a doctor, so looks and presentation are part of his public life. He was sporting a few strands stretched across the crown with plenty of open space between. He is in the medical industry, he has to have connections for a transplant or  hair plugs. Or accept the fact that some people go bald, it is genetics.

Now I don't have this issue, I have a full head of hair, there is not even gray showing, let alone any male pattern baldness. They tell me you get your hair DNA from your mother's father, well my grandfather on my mother's side passed at the age of 89 with a full head of hair, and did not start to gray until his mid 70s.

I have never liked getting my haircut, even as a kid, I hated it. I have had my hair in different styles and lengths, short, shaved for the military, long <past my shoulders>, a mullet- it was the sign of the times, permed- don't judge it was an 80s trend, and everything in between. I personally wish I would go bald, the cost savings on shampoo (and now product) and haircuts would be appreciated. Although I am not one that wears sun screen, but I am a fan of hats, so I am covered. 

But a comb-over?
