Heinous Hair Fails

The Comb-Over Gets Its Own Site

It is an inevitable fact of life for some men that if Mother Nature was not kind to their fathers' wispy manes, then it is somewhat of a guarantee that a receding hairline is in their very near future.

Unfortunately, some men are just too vain and unable to face the fact that they are balding and here is where the dreaded, and often mocked, comb-over comes into play.

The comb-over is one of the highest items on the hair catastrophe chart, losing out to the top spot only by the rat-tailed strands of a mullet.

Comb-overs are not the way to go, guys. If you begin to bald, just go with it.
