A "long hair comb over" describes a hairstyling technique where longer hair is combed forward and over to the opposite side of the head to conceal thinning or balding areas. An iconic example is former United States President Donald Trump.
This styling method has gained popularity for its ability to create the illusion of fuller hair. It is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing hair loss or those seeking to conceal visible scalp areas. Historically, the long hair comb over has roots in the late 19th century, when it was commonly used by actors and politicians to enhance their appearance.
