Homer Simpson's two hair strands: combover or not?

Semi-permanent means you can remove 50% of it at any given time if you want to. Just to give a metaphorical hat tip back to the bald community from which you have sprung.

I think the man bun that Thom Yorke's been sporting over the past five or so years could be an inventive take on the classic combover.

Bald spot appearing at the back? Simply scrunch up all the other hair from your head and knot it into a fat "bun" shape, to conceal the sunroof.



Heheheheh sneaky fucker. He really should just get the clippers out and embrace the "Hair Peninsula" a la Mark Williams and Jude Law.

Another inventive take from the world of snooker: the John Higgins "comb-together":



Also favoured by Prince William for the five minute period where he still had enough hair for it:

Doesn't 'semi-permanent' just mean a syrup that's sewn-in?

That's what I thought, yes. Bit like a weave for women, I'm not sure how those work but I understand they're quite high maintenance. Having 60% of one's entire hair being a weave must be a complete chore.

He looks like he's been told to stand in the corner for being a naughty boy.

Ah, is that why the hair bun is located over his crown? Makes sense now. Gareth Bald.

Thom Yorke has been trying the same ponytail routine for years with limited success. Think he's given up now.

I especially like how he is inadvertently parading it for the viewer.

Just remembered the best bit of combover acting ever:



Getting a bit HAAAAIIIIR IIIIISSSLAAAND in BCS now but there is still some way to go. With only eight more episodes left the decline is going to be fast and it's going to be brutal.

From his BBC Breakfast TV days, that photo. When he privately said to new co-presenter Fern Britton, 24 years younger than him, "Well, young lady, I wonder how long it will be before I'm having an affair with you?" He said similar things to Selina Scott and a co-presenter on LBC, Shyama Perera: "He made a point of telling me he always showered before heading to the studio for 5am 'so my penis is clean'." Insane insensitivity, self-delusion and vanity. I wonder if he ever asked them if they liked his hair?

Footballer Brandon Barker had a pleasingly old fashioned combover attempt for a while. It might pass when you stay still but the whole facade falls apart as soon as you start, y'know, running around and stuff.

Kubrick missed a trick with Clockwork Orange. Imagine a gang of droogs waving that in your face before they rob, rape, and murder you. Irredeemable.

I think this dude also beats John Sergeant and Jo Brand for the ultimate 'fry-up face'.

Can look really good on the right person.
