She told the paper that despite her role, Trump wouldn’t let her “near” his infamous coif.

“I knew damn well- ask before I raised a finger to that hair.”

A Miss Universe employee who formerly worked with Trump, echoed that the politician is fiercely protective of his locks, saying: “He doesn’t like people touching his hair- he’s a germaphobe.”
Meanwhile, another insider said that Trump’s voluminous hair is the result of a hair transplant. Louis Licari, a hairdresser who coloured the hair of Trump’s first wife Ivana for more than two decades, said: “I think it’s all his hair- through transplants. I saw him several times in the office of Dr Norman Orentreich in the early ‘80s.” Dr Orentreich was the first person to complete a successful hair transplant.
Trump has always been unabashed by criticism of his hair and dismissed rumours that it may be fake. In April 2013, he tweeted: “As everybody knows, but the haters and the losers refuse to acknowledge, I do not wear a “wig”. My hair may not be perfect but it’s mine.”
The controversial politician is the frontrunner in the GOP race for the Presidential nomination, latest polls suggest.
