Comb above or combover is a hairstyle worn by bald or bald men whose hair grows long and combed over a bald area to minimize the appearance of baldness. Sometimes the part is lowered so more hair can be used to cover the bald area.
In Japan, men with comb overs are called "bar code men" (??????), referring to the similarities between the striations caused by comb and UPC on the product. The "barcode style" is called "b? K? Do na kigigata" (????????).
