Over the years we've had our share of great British combovers - Arthur Scargill and Bobby Charlton to name but two.
But both men would have to doff their cap to the astonishing coiffure of American billionaire Donald Trump.
Rather than invest any of his considerable fortune in a transplant or wig, the 61-year-old property magnate insists on using a series of elaborate measures to plaster strands of hair across his balding pate.
Occasionally, however, it comes unstuck - notably this week when faced with the insistent breeze on the Isle of Lewis, where he was visiting his mother's former home.
Here, the Daily Mail shows how to achieve the Trump look ... in the unlikely event that anyone would want to emulate it.

Only his hairdresser (and Benny Hinn) know for sure.
The Donald:
What's the difference between an astronaut and Donald Trump's hairdo?
One defies the law of gravity, the other's a spaceman.
He probably paid an engineer to come up with that configuration.
You notice that no celebrity hairstylist ever brags about doing his hair. LOL!
Thank you! Thank you! (I’ll be appearing here all week.)
The dude at the local diner looking like that evokes sympathy, but the Don is unphased - power and money have that insulating effect. Good for him, no class envy here.
tnx,
now that is one brilliant feat of engineering.
wonder how many it takes to accomplish the construction and how long a job it is?
whatever takes your mind off radical islam conquering your nation, i guess
of course it doesn’t cloud my perception - he’s a dick, but then again, he doesn’t care that I think he’s a dick.
Don’t forget to implore us to tip our waitress and try the veal. However, waitresses may take offense at being tipped...
That`s why they wear towels on their heads,nothing can stop our ingenuity to solve problems right down to the hair on our head.
How can somebody so rich look so awful? Only The Donald knows for sure.
I believe it’s part of the image he’s trying to project — crude and vulgar.
humor pong
The combover is not to hide just a normal receeding hairline. Word was a while back, as his hairline was starting to receed, Donald underwent some hairline reconstruction surgery that didn’t go well and he was left with bad scars across his head. The ridiculous combover is to hide the visable scars all over his upper forehead.
“...Word was a while back, as his hairline was starting to receed, Donald underwent some hairline reconstruction surgery that didn’t go well and he was left with bad scars across his head...”
That has the makings for a great villian in the next Spiderman movie.
In that case - mission accomplished!
“The ridiculous combover is to hide the visable scars all over his upper forehead.”
Well, he could just go the bald route and get some tats to cover the scars.
