Une base in Paris, where he has lived for more than twenty years, another in New York, where he opened a third salon, the famous Australian hairdresser David Mallett is undoubtedly the best placed to analyze the hair style of the 47e President of the United States and his evolution over time. Rather than the artificial blond displayed during his first term, it seems that Donald Trump is now opting for a more golden color… Which nevertheless still does not escape the caricature, even more so if it is associated with an orange tan and whitened teeth excessively. A certain vision of America, as David Mallett explains to us.
The Point: As a hairdresser, what is your opinion on Donald Trump's hair choices?
David Mallett : They are clearly not accidental, random or linked to any financial problem! It's totally intentional and thoughtful, probably with the idea of giving himself an air of freshness with a blonde that he must consider spring-like, like a false hope. His hair contributes to his overall appearance with his tan, the whiteness of his teeth, his choice of costumes. This corresponds to a certain vision of the American dream without taking into account this taste for the artificial. But the United States is a very fragmented country, its appearance clearly does not appeal to everyone.
How has his style evolved over time?
With age, Donald Trump tends more and more towards a golden blonde, probably to cover his white hair, and he must surely use a lot of fixing products so that his cut does not move. I don't know who is behind his image, but I must admit that it has terrible taste! I don't know any politician who has such a caricatured appearance. In France, where artificiality remains little appreciated, the sobriety of the hair choices of a Nicolas Sarkozy or an Emmanuel Macron seems to me more worthy of the presidential office.

Answer
Last January, the Page Six section of New York Post wrote that Donald Trump's color differences were the result of his impatience since he cannot sit for more than thirty minutes at a hairdresser. Does this seem realistic to you?
This would surprise me because, in our salons, we receive certain clients with very tight schedules who continue to work during the application of their coloring, which may only last around ten minutes. On the other hand, to cover his roots, Donald Trump probably has to go to the hairdresser every two or three weeks. To this current golden blonde, very intense and artificial, I prefer the eras when it had a light brown, more ashy shade. If I were his hairdresser, I would go back to a more natural, more sober color, and a less fixed hairstyle by avoiding this long lock.
