My Dad always grew his front hair longer--and then he combed it back. Always has combed it back.
Now that he has a bald spot, the hair covers it pretty well, but you can still see it's there.
Me and my brother though, have a huge receding hairline and had no way of combing anything back. I was thrilled when I was young and had no bangs anymore.
Now, I think, "Stupid kid"
