Mussed but Verified: Donald Trump Lets Jimmy Fallon Mess Up His Hair

Andrew Lipovsky/NBC(NEW YORK) — Donald Trump has a thing about his hair. The Republican presidential nominee once discussed the intricate process he uses to style it with Playboy magazine, including allowing it to air-dry for an hour before he styles and sprays it. His famous coif has been the butt of endless jokes and he even let a friendly supporter in South Carolina touch it back in August 2015.

“I don’t wear a toupee. It’s my hair. I swear!” he said that day.

But on Thursday, he did the unthinkable and let someone mess up that hair he calls “beautiful.” During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Fallon asked if they could do something un-presidential.

“I’m not liking the sound of this,” Trump starts. “Can I mess up your hair?” Fallon asks. He receives, in response, a grimace. But Trump was game. “The answer is yes,” he says.

“But the people in New Hampshire where I’m going to be in about an hour from now, I hope they’re going to understand,” he says.

And so Fallon does, to cheers, leaving Trump’s hair a staticy mess.
