comb-over
Scalp-concealing hair arrangement
A comb-over is a hairstyle that attempts to conceal baldness by growing hair long on one side of the head and combing it across the bare scalp.
The term carries a faintly mocking tone, since the technique rarely fools anyone: He's not hiding anything with that comb-over.
Also spelled combover.
