Who knew that the comb-over has actually been patented? Indeed, way back in 1975 Frank & Donald Smith of Orlando FL filed a patent for, quote: ‘a method for styling hair to cover bald areas using only the individual’s own hair, comprising separating the hair on the head into several substantially equal sections, taking the hair on one section and placing it over the bald area, then taking the hair on another section and placing it over the first section, and finally taking the hair on the remaining sections and placing it over the other sections whereby the bald area will be completely covered’. (Apparently there’s a lot of guys having a bad-hair life who owe money to the Smiths.)
