Comb Over


 
The comb over was patented in 1977.A comb over is a hairstyle worn by bald or balding men in which the hair on one side of the head is grown long and then combed over the bald area.  A hair loss remedy or hair loss treatment in a sense.

A variation of the combover (whereby baldness is concealed by long hairs combed in three separate directions) has a U.S. Patent 4,022,227  by Donald J. Smith and his father, Frank J. Smith, of Orlando, Florida, who were awarded an Ig Nobel Prize in Engineering for their effort.

Such is the interest in this hairstyle that a one-hour documentary  "Comb Over - the Movie"  has been made about it.

A variation of the comb over is the "walnut whip," named after the chocolate product of the same name. The comb over strands are let grow to an even greater length and then curled round and piled up on top of the head.

Another common form of the comb over is the 'Gel-over.' It is like a normal comb-over with the hair over the bald spot-gelled so that it sticks about a centimeter over the scalp.

A common defence of those sporting the comb over is that they always combed their hair that way even before they began to go bald. In effect, a comb-over = side-parting + baldness. Others counter this by pointing out that no one with a normal side parting would have it so low down on the head.

 

Famous Comb Overs


In the UK, three people known for their combovers are former chairman of Call My Bluff, Robert Robinson (known as the "king of the comb over"), World Cup winner Bobby Charlton, and former leader of the National Union of Mineworkers, Arthur Scargill. References to them seldom neglect to mention their comb overs.

In Melbourne, Australia the Carlton Football Club's champion Australian rules football player Bruce Doull was nicknamed the "Flying Doormat" due to the matted appearance of the constant disarrangement (during match play) of the long portions of his extreme comb over hairstyle.[citation needed]

In the US, much has been debated on how Donald Trump has done his comb over.
