Comb-over
Pageboy
Perm
Beehive
Correct Answer: Comb-over
So why is this answer correct? : Like many inventions, the comb-over was born out of necessity. When Frank Smith and his son Donald were trying to find solutions for Frank’s baldness, they realized that if Frank grew his hair long on one side, he could push it over the top, giving the effect of fuller hair. The patent, complete with instructional diagrams, was filed soon after.
