Why do people wear combs in their hair in public?
I was just outside and saw some guy walking around with comb stuck in his hair. Why? Why wear your hair accessories down the middle of a busy street? I don't walk around with a bottle of gel stuck in my hair. Why? Because that looks stupid. And the comb doesn't look especially cool, either. :shrug: Why?

Just a comb (as in not a girl comb that we use to pull hair back), in his hair? :wtf: 0.o

It was huge about 25-30 years ago also. Even Flavor Flav is doing it. :D

18. Everything comes back.
Fashion-wise, there is nothing new under the sun.

9. I used to think it was cool as shit back in the 70's....
....seeing people with big afros and have the hair pick/comb with the fist stuck in them. I still like big afros and if I could grow one it would be as big as the one that Jan Brady had.

16. Perhaps you could call the 60s and the 80s...
and have them take their skinny pants back.

20. It's time for a revolution then
Where it revolves and comes back around again. I never gave a shit anyways what was in style or not. If I like it, I do it ;) Look at all the guys who've shaved their heads and grown goatees that you see these days. Pretty original huh?

12. Sikhs always wear a comb in their hair
but you cannot see it because it is underneath the turban. I don't know if Sikh ladies are supposed to wear a comb too under their headscarf. It is one of five symbols that initiated Sikh males wear/carry: (1) Turban (2) Comb (3) Sword (4) Metal bangle (5) Underwear Yes, it's true - Sikh males wear special Sikh underpants. :)

19. They still do that? I remember the balck folks with combs in their 'fros
in the 60s and 70s. Not to mention cigs and joints. Redstone

22. Like I said, that was in the 60s and 70s.
It was different. Like you've seen me answer posts with the phrase "not me, cool?" That's from back then when I used to hang around with lots of black folks. At that time, black guys called each other "cool" or "blood" instead of "nigger." I think it was a better time. Redstone

You know you're rockin' the bottle of gel in your hair. Maybe even a brush and the hair dryer, too. :rofl:

32. Combs stay put in hair a lot better than bricks, toasters or cord wood.
