Melania Trump: hair evolution of a first lady addicted to volume
Since Donald Trump came to power, many things have changed in the White House, but Melania's hair is not one of them, partly because she does not live there and partly because she never gets tousled.
Melanija Knavs. I mean, Melania Knauss. Sorry, Melania Trump and her hair with a ‘perennial’ hollowed out curtain fringe, a gray-free honey color and a haircut that has never experienced a split end. We could include her hair in our ‘pelazo’ classification. But it has not always been this way and we are not referring to the fact that it was less abundant before, but rather to its change in length, color and conditioning. The first lady of the United States of America is now a hair conservative, but a few years ago she was liberal, at least when it came to the layers of her hair. If Melania Trump can boast of anything, it is that she has abundant hair free of gray and full of shine despite being 49 years old. Blond has never been her color; However, while at the beginning of her career her hair was an intense chocolate brown, with the passing of the years and the rise of her husband in the political ladder, the highlights have become her secret ally in the fight against gray hair. and soften his increasingly pronounced features.
When Melania was a mannequin in her native Slovenia, her hair adapted to the demands of the time: it had volume, it was tousled and her color was darker. Not to forget her rebellious teenage level hairstyles of hers. With her jumping out of the puddle and landing her on the red carpets of the then single billionaire Donald Trump, her hair was filled with light, something she has not lost in recent years.
More volume
However, Melania's hair was full of movement, in part because of her long hair full of layers, which generated a greater sense of volume, naturally, without the help of her current ally, hairspray. And it is precisely the search for volume that seems to have been a maxim in her life.
After trying to catch up with him in her youth with lighthearted updos that played with the loosening technique and after layered haircuts, she also gave curls a chance. Yes, her now polished hair was one day riddled with curls, curls of tweezers with a slight comb that brought her closer to Dolly Parton ... Naturalness has never been one of her maxims.
The midi hair also went through the catalog of her haircuts and, although she favored and rejuvenated her image, she did not end up convincing the future first lady. Perhaps that is why she let her hair grow again like never before, until she finally found her ideal length, her hair at chest level, with long layers to generate volume and paraded towards the face area, where the most Parisian fringe is the winning horse of the look.
Trump's bangs, an almost electoral measure
In addition to matching tan, the Trump couple share another unquestionable aesthetic detail, the bangs. Long and combed to the millimeter with a great command of the hairdryer and the round brush, with the mastery that only a hairdresser hardened by years of career could do. However, Melania Trump's bangs have little to do with that of her husband. While Donald Trump uses his as a deterrent to her scarcity of hair, combing it self-absorbed to one side and suffering the blows of the wind, Melania wears it with the part in the middle.
His is the so-called 'curtain fringe' or what is the same, curtain bangs. Its length exceeds the eyes and cheeks, but in order not to obstruct vision, it is combed to the sides. The quintessential French fringe is packed with benefits. Its seventies air hides one of the main ones: it adds volume. When you have straight hair like Melania's, layers and short locks are the solution to build volume. Another plus point is that it is ideal for covering broad foreheads since the central locks always remain on the face and generate greater harmony.
But not everything could be benefits. The great handicap of Melania Trump's curtain fringe is that it takes some time to keep it in perfect condition. In addition to the very regular visits to the salon to get it trimmed, it also needs to be styled on a daily basis. If Melania will have a less refined look, it would not be necessary, but to achieve the 70s volume of her bangs, the daily hairdryer and the touch of lacquer are essential. Precisely the abuse of hairspray so that no gust of wind can ruffle her hair is the trigger for her artificial look and little given to her innovations, beyond a gathering with a low bun and bangs on one side.
From brunette to blonde
We will never see a gray hair in Melania's pristine hair and the key is her golden highlights. Like celebrities like Sofia Vergara, over the years Melania Trump has lightened her hair through the progressive introduction of blonde highlights until she reaches the hazelnut-honey color that she wears today.
During her years as a model, Melania wore her hair visibly darker. She went from chocolate brown to ice tea and suddenly surprised with jet black hair for a short time. With her dark hair, Melania enhanced one of her most attractive features, her huge blue eyes -before bigger than now, which always seem narrowed-. However, now her interest is to soften her face and harmonize it with her hair, hence, little by little she has played with blonde highlights until she ends up with a flattering balayage perfect to hide gray hair since these blend with the lighter highlights.
We could say that Melania Trump's hair evolution is similar to that of any woman her age. During her youth she was encouraged to try new things, but now that she has found her star look, she doesn't change it for anything.
