comb-overs
Baldness denial attempts
A comb-over is a hairstyle that attempts to conceal baldness by growing hair long on one side and combing it across the bare scalp.
The term is usually mildly derisive, suggesting the disguise fools no one: His comb-over wasn't hiding anything.
The style has become symbolic of futile vanity or denial about aging.
