The way a man combs his hair is said to reveal a lot about him. But that would make for an uneasy study on Donald Trump and the impersonal object that rests like a dead, hairy lobster on his scalp. For what that's worth, Trump appears to be mindful of the public's interest in his hair. The former president's mane has been a noted topic covered in Rolling Stone, New York Magazine, TIME, the New York Times, and other publications.

In 1976, Trump served as president of the Brooklyn-based Trump Organization, managing and owning 22,000 apartments, and was developing three creative real estate projects in Manhattan, as per the New York Times. At the time, Trump donned a very attractive, natural-looking hairdo, especially given the man's age.

To the degree that the intricate edifice that is Trump's hair can be claimed to have a “part,” the former president used to part his hair from left to right at the time. Trump rebranded the Hilton Hotel in Atlantic City, which was still under construction, to Trump Castle in 1985. It was run by his wife Ivana until 1988.

The billionaire seemed to have a head scar that ran deep, indicating that a "problem area" on the top and back of his scalp was being made up for. In 1988, Trump acquired the Trump Taj Mahal, a third venue in Atlantic City. Low-rated bonds totaling $675 million were used to finance its completion, which allowed it to open for $1.1 billion in April 1990.
