Comb over

No 1 for me, though I'm tempted by shaving :)

Maybe a comb-over is a fashion statement?
 
I vary from shaven through to no's 1, 2, or a 2 on top and shaven or 1 for the back and sides.
I think comb overs are the height of vanity or insecurity tbh, mind you, a few old punks have them just so they can 'spike' their hair up when outwith work.

I wet shave the bonce twice a week. (y) No bits down yer neck from the clippers, nor bits on the floor to sweep or vac. :cool:

I agree that comb overs are probably due to insecurity, same as those who can afford the `transplant`, like Rooney. (Shrek with a fixed, thread bare syrup :D )
 
I bet quite a few of you have them and when your home alone you strut about preening and primping them!... :eek:

Sometimes I worry about your fantasies :p
 
Thankfully I have a full head of hair which I crop myself every week. Comb overs are a joke and I don't think people with them realise how obvious and ridiculous they actually look.

Don't even get me started on my opinions on beards and moustaches. Messes!!!!:rolleyes:
 
Yes combovers are ridiculous but I feel a bit sorry for those who have them.

Given how obvious they look - no one is going to believe a combover is full head of hair, and that whenever they are mentioned they get riduculed, anyone having one must know how the rest of the world sees them. However, it seems their need not to be seen as thinning on top/bald is so great that they are willing to use a combover. It appears none realise its the combover that attracts the attention of others to the loss of hair.

There is a bloke at work, can only be in his 20's with a very odd comb over. I don't think he is even bald, but instead of combing his hair over from one side, it is combed over from the back, the parting is about half way down the back of his head, but he also has a centre parting at the front, looks very odd.
 
I remember seeing one chap who was in his 70s. He had a HUGE combover for that rockabilly effect. I thought it was a wig until I saw him nod his head and saw the front of his combover quiver.
 
I think hair in general is an odd thing among men, some like me are just not that fussed I have had mine shaved short for over 20 years now, at first a bit of gel on it maybe some fudge, but nothing for a good 10 years plus, just a number 3 about every 4 weeks also I am now 46 so there is not much left at the front.

One of the guys I know up in Erskine is 60 and on his 2nd hair transplant :)

I never knew men did that.

Warning... Too Much Information Follows.
Me and an ex of mine used to cover each other with chocolate but I never thought to spread fudge on my head.
 
Full head of hair,I have a haircut every three or four months wether I need it or not,I wish it would stop growing and save me some cash,can't be arsed to shave, I attack my facial hair with scissors every now and then.Far better things to do than worry about your barnet.
 
Shave my head to a number 1, once a week. I am loosing a bit at the back (monk style), so would look ridiculous to try and carry on with hair. It convinces no-one, and I think id actually be more self conscious about trying to 'fool' people than I do about loosing it anyway :)

Can't beat a bit of fudge on your head. But my head has always been bald, aren't they all?

Ah! Chocolate spread :) What fun!

I'm sure we can derail this thread easily enough...

:D
 
I wet shave my head 2 or 3 times a week, have been for years. Decided to try to grow it for a couple of weeks, so I could try a mohican , but there was a lot less there than there used to be, so rapidly gave up on that idea and went back to being a slaphead!
 
I'm 62 and my hair is cut fairly short, but not cropped. Just noticed the first signs of slight thinning on top, so I'll be moving to a crop one of these days. Comb overs are just so sad...
 
#1 when I can be arsed to get it done. Face gets the same.

A skinhead with a comb-over would be the ultimate rebel.

Skinheads have pride in our appearance, therefore and by definition, would never, ever have a comb over.
