This is just so wrong on so many levels... I fully respect people's decisions but the comb-over looks tacky. If I had hair loss, I would just shave it off and be bald. People out here are generally more concerned with who you are and what you do rather than what you look like. Posted by DaveH at November 5, 2005 9:18 PM
