Donald Trump reveals comb-over secrets

Someone has finally plucked up the courage to ask Donald Trump about his gravity-defying coiffure - famously described by the New York Times as "an elaborate structure best left to an architecture critic". The brave man was journalist Nigel Farndale, who interviewed the 62-year-old US property tycoon for the Sunday Telegraph. To his question "For the love of God Man, why [the hair-do]?", Trump replied: "People always comment on it, but it's not that bad and it's mine. I mean, I get killed on it. I had an article somewhere saying it was a hairpiece, but you can see it isn't."

The Telegraph’s man then watched as Trump tugged on the thatch to disprove the wig accusations, before asking him to reveal the secrets of the comb-over look, which has also been described as looking like a "sunken apricot souffle". "I use spray actually," admitted Trump. "I'll comb it wet then spray it so it doesn't get blown away by the wind. I've taken a lot of heat on my hair, but, hey, it seems to work."
