President Donald Trump showcased a darker hairstyle as he stepped off Air Force One ahead of spending Labor Day weekend at one of his golf courses.
The commander-in-chief’s iconic golden comb-over took on a duskier hue as he touched down in Morristown, New Jersey, on Friday before continuing on to Bedminster.
The new look comes weeks after Trump, 80, sent social media into a frenzy with his voluminous, blonde locks while speaking at Red Rock Casino in Las Vegas.
On Friday, he appeared to have switched things up again and his hair appeared almost brown.
His biographer Michael Wolff has since revealed that the president has a trick up his sleeve to ensure his hair is always perfectly coiffed.
Wolff claimed on the Inside Trump’s Head podcast that the president never travels without his trusty hair kit, which is stocked with different shades of hair patches.
‘He has somebody who’s following, and there have been a couple of people over, certainly over the political years, who’ve carried the patch kit,’ Wolff said.
The biographer added that the president handles much of the styling himself, a topic Trump has previously addressed.

The president sported a dusky, almost brown hairstyle instead of his usual blonder locks prompting a lot of reaction online
In 2018, at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland, he said: ‘I try like hell to hide my bald spot, folks. I work hard at it.’
That same year, Trump’s physician revealed he takes medication to combat male-pattern baldness, USA Today reported.
According to Wolff, the portable hair kit dates back at least to Trump’s first term, when his eldest daughter, Ivanka, served as a close aide.
The biographer described how Ivanka once discussed the amount of time spent on her father’s hair, he said: ‘In my first book, Fire and Fury, I describe Ivanka, who had a kind of amused perspective on her father.’
‘She described the way that his hair came together, having to tease it in certain ways, pull it in certain ways and fluff it in certain ways. And so you kind of created this confection on top.’
The president’s current hairstyle drew a lot of commentary on X.
One user wrote: ‘Looks like he borrowed it from a ’70s game show host.’
Another added: ‘There probably wasn’t enough time to dye and style his mop. This has to be the new rug.’
Trump appeared at the Red Rock Casino on August 5 to boast his administration’s accomplishments, but his speech was overshadowed by comments on his much thicker-looking hair
Trump previously joked that he takes care to cover his bald spots
Trump’s physician also previously revealed he takes a drug to tackle male-pattern baldness
A third said of a service member standing near the president: ‘I really gotta admire that young man in uniform keeping a straight face after seeing that hair!’
Trump is expected to spend the weekend at his golf course in Bedminster, returning to Washington DC on Monday.
It comes after the president sparked rumors about a hair piece or even a wig following his appearance in Las Vegas earlier this month.
Trump delivered a speech about his administration’s achievements which was quickly overshadowed by comments on his lustrous looking hair.
The Daily Mail has contacted the White House for comment.
