The Hunt for Donald Trump’s Hairdresser, and How to Make ‘It’ Better
As Donald Trump courts controversy on the campaign trail, his hair remains mesmerizing, defying both taste and gravity. Who’s responsible, and what can be done?
The once marmalade-colored locks of his one-of-a-kind hairstyle had become a muddled mess of silver and faded blond.
The Trump hair really is something: it’s orange and matted-looking on the sides, and now white/silver, wispy, swept back, defying the laws of physics and practicality, on top.
“My agent got in touch with Trump’s office around 1997 to put me forward as someone who could cut or restyle his hair,” Losi, the celebrity men’s hairdresser for New York salon Martial Vivot, told The Daily Beast as she was en route to Toronto to style Jake Gyllenhaal’s locks for the premiere of his new movie, Southpaw.
Losi has also styled the likes of Hugh Jackman, Tom Hanks, Liam Neeson, Zachary Quinto, and Steve Buscemi.
“We were told, ‘His hair is the way it is,’” Losi said of the firm word from Trump’s office. “He gives strong direction about how it should be, and he’s not very interested in changing it. Apparently, he does his own. He starts from the back. He combs it forward, so it reaches down past his nose, and then he folds it back, and then he sprays it.”
Losi, on the other hand, would have tried “to brush some of it to the side,” she said. “You can’t cut it too short. He’s a big guy with a fat face. Cut it too short and he’d end up with jowls.”
As for the color, she doubts it’s natural.
“He is probably like one of my clients who dyes his hair once every four months, leaving it until the roots really start coming through,” she said. “You would also have to blow-dry that kind of hair: the nature of white hair is that it cannot be contained.”
On Friday, when he spoke to the Friends of Abe, the ginger flank of Trump hair was plastered firm down at the sides, and a side parting had emerged. The back was long, straggly, and running free.
Trump’s hairdo, or hairdon’t, has been a meme-worthy fixation of pop culture for years.
“People always comment on it,” Trump told Nigel Farndale of Britain’s Daily Telegraph. “But it’s not that bad, and it is mine—look,” Trump added, reportedly tugging at the front to show this was no wig or toupée.
“I mean, I get killed on it. I had an article where someone said it was a hairpiece, but you can see it isn’t.”
Farndale assents that this is true, then asked whether Trump used gel. “No, I use spray, actually. I’ll comb it wet, then spray it so it doesn’t get blown away by the wind.”
According to a 2011 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Trump confessed that his daily routine consists of one part Head and Shoulders and one part air dry (approximately 60 minutes).
“Yes I do use a comb,” he told Erik Hedegaard. “Do I comb it forward? No, I don’t comb it forward…I actually don’t have a bad hairline. When you think about it, it’s not bad. I mean, I get a lot of credit for comb-overs. But it’s not really a comb-over. It’s sort of a little bit forward and back. I’ve combed it the same way for years. Same thing, every time.”
