The Comb Over

    We've all seen them, the last few strands of hair vainly attempting to cover a glistening scalp. Some come from the side, arc over the top and straggle down to meet their cousins somewhere near the back of the ear. Other varieties start at the back and swirl forward to the forehead take a detour down the other side before heading back to the the nape of the neck. There are I'm sure other styles that defy my powers of description. The one common factor is liberal amounts of some sort of hair oil fighting a losing battle against the wind to keep hair plastered to the scalp.
    Vanity is a terrible thing. Stupidity is worse. :D

    its hard not to spend the entire tutorial laughing tbh :)

    Mach 3 is your only man.

    It is MUCH easier to shave your head that any other part of you body.
    Once you get good at it you don't need a mirror, which means you can do it in the shower along with your face (tip : soften up your beard in the shower before you shave and not only is it much easier with less (none) irritation but the razor lasts 3 times longer too.)

    The thing with swoops (I think) is the fact that these horrendous slivers of hair wedge seem to appear slowly over time. Therefore people create this comb over slowly as they get more bald. I just don't think that these people wake up one day and say:

    "Hey, I think I'll comb my hair THIS way and see if it makes me look hairy again!"

    And probably no one points out to them that they look... really silly.

    The dog clearly has some new growth going on underneath the Bobby Charlton.

    A lecturer I used to have had this really badly fitting hair piece - it was terrible! I used to just sit there in class waiting for it to fall off! We had another lecturer once who came in and poured liquid nitrogen all over the floor, but thats a different story :D
