Comb it over or cut it off?

   While fishing in the sea of my FB friends for questions to address on the blog, I came across an interesting though delicate subject for discussion. An old schoolmate of mine proposed the question " What should I do to make my combover look better?"

   The answer is obvious to those of us that have been blessed with a full head of hair but for the folically challenged the question takes on a whole and new dimension. Remember that God made a few perfect heads and then put hair on the rest of them to cover up their imperfections.

   My advice to those with sparsely populated scalps has always been to cut it as short as your comfort levels allow. Trying to disguise the fact that you are loosing your hair by covering up the afflicted areas of your noggin only serves to call attention to the situation. I know it sounds crazy that by sacrificing the locks that you have left you will appear less bald but gentlemen, it is true. Besides, your scalp doesn't pay attention to the fact that your hair is thinning out and continues to secrete oil from the sebaceous glands as if you were still blessed with a full head of your crowning glory. That is why thinning hair often looks greasy, dirty and unkempt.

   So guys, take that giant leap of faith and have your locks shorn short. Be happy with what you have been given and rejoice in the glory of your hairless fate. You won't regret it!
