Secrets of Donald Trump’s distinctive strawberry blonde mop hairstyle revealed… and it’s all because he can’t be bothered to hang about
THE secret behind Donald Trump’s distinctive hairdo has allegedly been revealed in a new book.
The US president’s barnet has been the subject of mystery and speculation for some time and various rumours have circulated over the years – particularly recently.
Some have claimed his lid is the result of a bad comb-over, while others have alleged his blonde locks are in fact a high-end hairpiece worth £45,000.
But Trump’s daughter has spilled the beans to friends about why her dad’s hair really looks the way it does, according to author Michael Wolff.
In fact, Ivanka Trump often makes fun of her dad’s mop when chatting to pals and delights in explaining how the crazy coiffure comes together, the journalist writes.
Speaking in his new book Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, Wolff claims it’s the result of scalp reduction surgery and careful styling held in place by strong hairspray.
The book reads: “She often described the mechanics behind it to friends: an absolutely clean pate — a contained island after scalp-reduction surgery — surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the centre and then swept back and secured by a stiffening spray.”
Scalp reduction — also known as alopecia reduction — is a procedure in which a surgeon removes a man’s bald spot, then sews the more hirsute skin back together.
The book also claims Trump’s distinctive blonde hair colour was the result of his own “impatience” as he attempts to get rid of grey hairs using cheap dye.
Wolf continues: “The colour, she would point out to comical effect, was from a product called Just for Men.
“The longer it was left on, the darker it got. Impatience resulted in Trump’s orange-blond hair colour.”

The book, out on January 9, is based on more than 200 interviews over 18 months with the author claiming to have had unprecedented access to the White House.
Wolff also makes a string of other claims about the US president, including that he goes to bed at 6.30pm – where he eats cheeseburgers and watches three TV sets at once while ranting about the media.
He also alleges that Trump never actually intended to win the election, and his wife Melania cried when the results were announced.
