The best comb over.

Shudder to think of the mid-head oxbow lake that's concealing.

That is as mesmerising as it is shameless. Close the thread, we have a winner.

It's fascinating to me bcs the Burge clearly had a sense of style: the green corduroy jacket with the red tie, the casually posed cigar...he must've considered the performance on his head as being at one with that whole look. Maybe in 30 yrs' time people will look back at pics of the balding men from the 2000s with the completely shaved heads and think "Mate".

Haha!

I do admire the amount of prep work and inner strength that must be involved to construct an intricate combover. To stare into your own eyes in the mirror as you meticulously paste that final strand of hair across your forehead whilst your conscience says "fucks sake mate" takes a real man.

Povidone

Just had the clippers out and buzzed my head today, being doing it regularly since it became clear that I was afflicted with my dad's male pattern baldness. Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror thinking 'just be a fucking man and comb it over, get the gel out you lazy scrote' I could probably get away with it as well as I have quite thick curly hair but alas, I am too much of a coward.

Elderly Sumo Prophecy

A curly combover could be a thing of great beauty, if done with enough passion. You'd have to grow sections of it extra long though, to account for the loss of length due to the curling effect.

Povidone

Worth some experimentation, though I worry that I need to further thin on top for it to work.

My folks are always saying they hate it when I shave my head, look like a thug apparently. Might turn up at the next family gathering with an absolutely ludicrous combover.

"IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT FATHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! MUTHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

There was a lady that used to do cakes for the community centre and her combover was magnificent, each hair inexplicable levitating a few mm's above her scalp, harsh, Church Hall flourescent light not only amplified the angel hair thin thatch, but it gave her an unearthly glow, like some form of cake making form of extraterrestrial life that subsisted on royal icing and hairspray.

Thread needs some LGB representation; here's Quentin Crisp displaying a very rare homover


If I ever go bald, nobody will ever know, because I learned "How 2" seamlessly disguise it.

That's a smashing purple rinse you've got there, Enid. Was it that new place on the high street?

A true work of art.

Can't stop watching this. Trying to figure out the uncanny geometry. It's like he's got a translucent globe on his head.

Gotta be Edinburgh University-era Gordon Brown.

Fred "Two Ns" Dinenage was close friends with Ron and Reg Kray. There are some dark secrets behind those glasses. He knows where the bodies are buried. And HOW they were buried, obv.

Mad Freddy Dinenage wouldn't be a bad gangland name actually. I want Guy Ritchie on it now.

The drawing on the wall tops them all though. Thought it was Anders Brevik for a second

Of Jon Hamm I suspect a partial transplant at the hairline, with tricks and teases to conceal the scalp. Mad Men had a big hair fibre budget.

I saw this picture before watching Baby Driver, and I presumed the character was supposed to be visibly balding:



But those tricks and teases and camera angles conceal his scalp for the duration of the film. A triumph.

Blue Jam

I have come to realise that most questions asked on this forum can be answered with "Jon Hamm".

You know how if all species on Earth bar the nematodes suddenly disappeared we'd supposedly see little heaps of nematodes everywhere? What would happen if the world's supply of Propecia suddenly vanished? Would we suddenly see a carpet of loose human hairs all over every film set, theatre stage and cricket pitch?

Blue Jam

Also isn't that shake'n'bake hair fibre used by drag kings to create fake beards? On that subject...

This doesn't really count as a female example, does it?



Female Lalo Salamanca tho, it's a strong look.
