Summary
Karoline Leavitt said the fuller, brighter look of Donald Trump’s hair at Wednesday’s Red Rock Casino event in Las Vegas came from especially flattering LED lighting, after online speculation surged.
White House aides told The Wall Street Journal the casino setup made his hair appear more voluminous, and recent health memos have not disclosed any prescription hair treatment.
Finasteride still shadows the discussion because Trump’s longtime doctor said in 2017 that he took the hair-loss drug, and then-White House physician Ronny Jackson said in 2018 he was still using it.
Trump has long treated his hair as a public fixation—calling it a “work of art,” complaining last year that a Time cover “disappeared” it, and previously attacking low-flow shower rules as bad for washing it.
With recent medical records omitting hair-loss medication, is the official lighting explanation masking a brand-new approach to a famous grooming routine?
Could a simple LED lighting setup really create the illusion of a completely different hairstyle for a high-profile public figure?
What do styling experts say about the viral casino photos, and could camera angles truly explain the sudden change in hair volume?
