The Process: Men who are in the process of balding keep their hair as long as they can. They grow their hair long at the sides, then comb the hair at the sides over the bald top so that the bald spot is partially hidden. Every hair must be in perfect position for this to be achieved. A self conscious man will go to great lengths to ensure that this perfect position is maintained. A comb is kept in the pocket throughout the day, and if a hair is out of placed, whether imagined or real, the comb will come out, and restore the hair to perfection.
The Problems: Who are these guys trying to fool anyways? Any idiot can tell that they're combing to cover up their bald spot. The only person they're fooling is themselves. To the rest of the world, they look silly at best, pathetic at worst. I once saw a guy with a combover that swirled around his head several times. Sort of like a shorter version of the seventies beehive cut. But this was a combover! It was one of the pathetic versions. Anyways. If you have a combover, you pretty much mark yourself as vain. It is one of the most transparent ways to try to appear young when you really are old. Again, come on! You ain't fooling nobody.
My Solution: Well, personally, I don't put that much stock into hair loss. My mother's father is bald, so I guess that means I soon will be too, is that right? Plus, my name, Calvin, originates from the Latin word for bald apparently. So it appears that I'm destined to be bald sooner rather than later. Whatever. If it's really such a big deal, you should keep your hair short enough that it's not really too noticable when you start to bald. Otherwise, just revel in the baldness. Who cares about hair?
