Donald Trump Previously Denied Wearing a Wig

Trump rarely changes up his hairdo, however, his mane was also questioned last month. During a speech at Red Rock Casino Resort and Spa in Las Vegas at the time, Trump's blonde hair looked brighter and thicker, which led viewers to think he was wearing a wig.

"For years I had to suffer with people saying, 'He wears a wig.' I don't wear a wig," he said.

The Celebrity Apprentice alum previously discussed his locks in 2018 during a CPAC conference in Maryland, admitting: “I try like h--- to hide the bald spot, folks. I work at it.”
During a 2015 rally in South Carolina, the businessman asked a woman to come up on stage to check if his hair was real or fake. “I believe it is [real],” she said at the time. “I don’t wear a toupee. It’s my hair, I swear,” he then claimed.
According to his biographer, Michael Wolff, Trump uses a "hair kit" to maintain his signature physical appearance. On a recent episode of the "Inside Trump's Head" podcast, the author alleged Trump travels with a portable pack that is used to fix color patches on his head when needed.
"He has somebody who's following, and there have been a couple of people over — certainly over the political years — who've carried the patch kit," Wolff said. "They are next to the people who carry the nuclear codes. The maintenance of this hair is a major enterprise and has been for many years."
