A comb-over is a hairstyle where a person combs their hair to the other side of their head. Often, the style is employed by a balding man attempting to hide his receding hairline.
There are different types of comb-overs, including short and long comb-overs, comb-over taper fade, and comb-over fade. However, the most prominent comb-over is not meant to be stylish but to conceal baldness.
This "classic" comb-over was popular in the 1970s and 80s and is still used by some men today. However, many men have chosen to embrace their baldness and shave their entire heads.
