comb-over

n. the covering of a balding area of the head with whatever hair is left, usually resulting in a highly unflattering hairdo and/or drawing direct attention to the balding spot itself. The suspect in question is usually a man of middling age who believes he is guarding a sacred secret.

Even Donald Trump sports the comb-over, the ugliest of hairdos, taking hair from any part of the head and using it to flap over the offending bald spot.

comb-over

1. combing your last locks of hair over your bald spot so that people can('t) tell that you are bald(ing)

2. a thorough looking-over (from the fine-tooth comb expression)

That guy should just shave his head bald and stop using that obvious comb-over.
Give it one last comb-over before you throw it out.

comb-over

Hairstyle sported by men who refuse to grow bald gracefully. Any remaining hair at the side of the head (sometimes also ear hair) is grown long and combed over the top of the head (see also egg in a nest).
Comb-overs are ill advised in strong winds and any situation in which you would like to be taken seriously.

Look at that slaphead with the comb-over!

comb-over

What middle-aged men that are going bald do to "camoflauge" their big gaping bald spot. Not very sucsessful

Why do people think comb-overs make them look less bald?

Comb-Over

An incredibly popular men's hairstyle that tells you everything you need to know about their personality, they're a douchebag

*Not to be confused with old-men-type comb-overs.*

Everyone seems to have comb-overs lately. Nazi Youth would be proud!
