If you thought drugs where really bad, comb overs are even worse! You know once a had a gym teacher who only had hair above his ears, so he grew that hair so long that he could comb it over his head and spray it down… oh boy did he have everyone fooled… not!

Comb overs are obvious, its like telling the world, “Hey I”m bald! And I don”t want to accept it!” But the big mystery is, why the heck does millionaire Donald Trump keep his comb over, isn”t he more than able to afford a hair transplant or buy a really realistic wig or heck just get a good hair cut in a good salon?

Believe or not, the comb over is even patented! No joke, check out U.S. Patent 4,022,227, at www.uspto.gov, “Method of concealing partial baldness.”

Note the compassion in the patent statement: “Obviously a partially bald person without the financial means cannot afford the luxury of hair coverings.”

The methodology: The remaining hair should be about 3 to 4 inches long. The hair around the bald area is divided into equal portions … It is folded over the bald area, beginning with the hair from the back of the head, and then from one side and then the other. All three groupings are sprayed into place, and, just like that, you”re ready to face the world.

Bottom line, if you have a comb over, do yourself a favor and get rid of it, everyone already knows your bald so your really not hiding anything. Plus if you can pull of a nice Bas Rutten bald look, go for it! We got more information on that look on our main site, How to Shave Your Head Bald.
