I gave up long ago...used to wear my hair long to my shoulders but gave up when I saw that I was losing ground and just went over to cutting it short - no comb over. You've done the right thing and seem to be being rewarded. Good for you.

Well, actually I'm one of the "new crop of young guys losing their hair." I'm 26, and if I let it grow my hair is "patchy" at best. I started losing it pretty much as soon as I graduated HS and left for bootcamp. The "shaved head is the new combover" statement I just can't agree with. I shave my head once a week. As a matter of fact I have a freshly "bic'd" noggen as we speak.

A combover is a man's attempt of hiding the balding scalp and trying to fight an already lost battle. A shaved dome is a man's surrender to the battle he KNOW'S he's lost. Simple logic.

When I'm older and the top of my noggen goes COMPLETELY smooth on it's own, I will sport the "horseshoe" with pride The bic'd noggen is simply the only way to wear my hair (or lack their of) without looking completely ridiculous.
