Crossword 226: Replacement Parts

Alfred Elmore, The Origin of the Combing Machine
Alfred Elmore, The Origin of the Combing Machine

What did the aging man use to hide his bald spot?  A replacement part!  Get it?  With the clue “comb-over consequence?” I’m going to put that phrase in a funny hairstyles-themed crossword,  as soon as I think up three more funny-hairstyle puns of symmetrical length.  Meanwhile the phrase will do, in the plural, as a title for today’s puzzle.
