Just say NO to the combover

At what point does a man commit to the combover? 

Do the math…if hair, on average, grows 1/2 inch a month, a six-inch combover would take a year’s worth of effort.

How would a man wear his hair during the in-between phase?

Let’s say you have a nice three-inch combover going for you, but it only stretches across half the scalp.  Do you comb it over the scalp with a three-inch gap before it reaches the other side?

I don’t think you could actually comb it back on its growing side if it’s longer than the healthy hair.

That would just look odd.

And once the desired six-inches is reached, drag that part and get that long hair up over there. 

And pray the wind doesn’t blow.

Dude.  Give it up.

Let me make a suggestion:  Just say NO to the combover.  Embrace the blankness of hair.  Cut it all short.  Or off.

Do it for us.  Do it for yourself. 

Do it for humanity.

  1. This is LOL funny. I hate sitting behind a brother in church with a comb over. I always keep a pair of small scissors in my purse and I am always tempted to carefully and silently clip the few hairs that are there! Why oh why do they do it? My husband is going bald and I love it because it makes my hair look so good and I think it makes me look younger next to him.

  2. Oh dear, how I would love LOVE to see “linda” trim a few hairs off the guy in the next pew. Just do it.

    Comb overs. Puke. How did Donald Trump not make it to this post???

  3. Those guys are hot! I love me a good combover.

    OK! Not only is it a waste of time putting on make-up before reading your blog, it’s also a waste of time to shower first. This one soaked me with tears AND PEE! Have you ever seen the “People of Wal-Mart” blog? Just wondering…

  5. LINDA!! Yay – you’re back! And a great comment. I love the way you think. Let me know if you ever get brave enough to do a little church clipping.

    Anna – I don’t know why the Donald didn’t make it. I think he has horrible hair, but I’ve never thought of him as a comb over guy. Hmmm.

    Emily – you’re funny :)

    CM – So funny. Thanks for the compliment…I think . I haven’t seen the People of Wal-Mart site, but I’ve seen a lot of the pictures through viral emails. Absolutely shocking. I just can’t believe they’re real…are they really? Probably. So so sad.
