Boomer Research Institute – Combovers Reduce Appearance of Balding by 90%

Boca Raton, FL – An exhaustive 30 year long study by the Boomer Research Institute has concluded that combovers reduce the appearance of balding by 96%. Moreover, with proper amounts of gel or saliva applied, most “young folks” fail to notice balding at all.  “Combovers”, the often misunderstood practice of combing the rich forest of side hair over the scalp to conceal male pattern baldness, have long been used to fool unsuspecting youngsters as to a man’s age. This study is the first to conclusively prove that combovers are an effective tool to fool cashiers and wait staff as to one’s actual age. 
The 30 year, self-reporting study had participants ask a diverse set of hotel clerks, restaurant servers, cashiers, and nurses as to their age. If there was any hesitation to answer on the part of the wait staff, the participants aged 60-76, were encouraged to tell a joke or flirt to ensure the subject knew that they ‘still got it’.  This study dovetails a similar find released by the Boomer Research Institute entitled ‘Toupees Are 100% Effective In Fooling Onlookers’.
