A step-by-step guide to the gravity-defying Donald Trump combover

The Donald: What's the difference between an astronaut and Donald Trump's hairdo? One defies the law of gravity, the other's a spaceman

Over the years we've had our share of great British combovers - Arthur Scargill and Bobby Charlton to name but two.

But both men would have to doff their cap to the astonishing coiffure of American billionaire Donald Trump.

Rather than invest any of his considerable fortune in a transplant or wig, the 61-year-old property magnate insists on using a series of elaborate measures to plaster strands of hair across his balding pate.

Occasionally, however, it comes unstuck - notably this week when faced with the insistent breeze on the Isle of Lewis, where he was visiting his mother's former home.

Here, the Daily Mail shows how to achieve the Trump look ... in the unlikely event that anyone would want to emulate it.



As for the man himself, he was at a public inquiry in Aberdeen yesterday to be questioned yesterday by environmental campaigners and local councillors over his plans to build 'the world's greatest golf course'.

After spending more than three hours giving evidence he said: 'I am shocked to be here. I thought I would be building the course by now.'

The flamboyant tycoon wants to create two golf courses, a clubhouse, a massive hotel, a conference centre, a golf academy and 950 holiday homes on the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire, which is currently used for shooting.

Warning that turning down his plans 'would be a terrible, terrible loss to Scotland' he said the proposed site was currently littered with the carcases of animals.



He said: 'It's a total mess. When you walk on the site right now it's sort of disgusting. There are bird carcasses lying all over the site.

'There are dead animals all over the site that have been shot. There may be some people that are into that. I am not.

'When I build the course we won't be killing birds. We will be trying for birdies and eagles, but we won't be killing them.'

The billionaire tycoon sported a somewhat flyaway version of the combover after he landed in Stornoway on his private Boeing 727, which is emblazoned with TRUMP in large gold letters on the side.

Accompanied by his older sister Maryanne, it is the first time he has been on the island since his mother took him there as a child.

And he admitted that he would probably have walked away from his plans to build a £1billion golf resort if his mother had not been from Scotland.

When asked if he would have given up on his plans for the Aberdeenshire resort after they were initially rejected by the council had his mother not been from Scotland.

He said: 'I think probably I would have, yes.

'It is really easy to find a nice piece of land to do something nice on. But Scotland is special and I wanted to do something special for my mother.'
