I also remember a TV interview where Donald and Melania confirmed that she did his hair.
Maybe someone else can find this.
📘 Also on Trump's hair, excerpt from Michael Cohen's "Disloyal, a Memoir." This occurred in June 2013.
Checking into the Vegas Trump Tower, I was summoned up to his suite to discuss the day's events.
📘 Cohen book (cont'd)
Trump was in his underwear, white Hanes briefs, and a white short-sleeve undershirt, watching cable news on television. He barely seemed to register that it was unusual for a grown man to be in a state of undress in front of an employee, but there it was.
📘 Cohen book (cont'd)
On this occasion, Trump was fresh from the shower and he hadn't done his hair yet, as it was still air-drying. When his hair wasn't done, his strands of dyed-golden hair reached below his shoulders along the right side of his head and on his back,...
📘 Cohen book (cont'd)
...like a balding Allman brother or strung out old '60s hippie.
I called his plane Hair Force One, for good reason. Trump doesn't have a simple combover, as it would appear.
📘 Cohen book (cont'd)
The operation was much more involved than a simple throw-over of what was left of his hair: the three-step procedure required a flop up of the hair from the back of his head, followed by the flip of the resulting overhang on his face back on his pate,...
📘 Cohen book (cont'd)
...and then the flap of his combover on the right side, providing three layers of thinly disguised balding-male insecurity. The concoction was held in place by a fog of TREsemme TRES Two, not a high-end salon product.
📘 Cohen book (cont'd)
Flip, flop, flap, and there was the most famous combover in the world.
📘 Cohen book (cont'd)
The real reason for the extravagant and obvious overcompensation for his baldness was vanity, and the desire to appear younger and more vigorous than he was.
📘 Cohen book (cont'd)
But there was another unknown reason: he was hiding unsightly scars on his scalp from a failed hair-implant operation in the 1980s.
📘 Cohen (cont'd)
That was the disfiguring operation that resulted in his furious "emotional rape" of his first wife Ivana, as she documented in a lawsuit in the early '90s; like Samson, Trump believed his virility & image were harmed if he was seen to be losing his hair,...
📘 Cohen book (cont'd)
...or, even worse, injuring himself in an attempt to disguise male-pattern balding.
📘 Cohen book (cont'd)
If Trump let strangers see the red sores on his scalp, he would appear to be vulnerable, even pitiable, not the unstoppable sex-god alpha-male billionaire he wanted to present to the world—and himself.
