Justin Trudeau's Toupee-Inspired 'Do Might Just Be Worse Than Trump's Combover

Justin Trudeau has experienced many tragedies, including stepping down from his role as Canada's prime minister after drama unfolded within his political party. But perhaps something even more upsetting than that is when Trudeau honestly thought no one would notice his weird hair. In a video posted to his Instagram in March 2025, the father of three addressed his nation one final time, encouraging everyone to continue being "boldly and unapologetically Canadian."

While his message was uplifting and patriotic, it took a backseat to his hair. It's either a toupee, or a wig, or even just a bad dye job. His hair definitely looks more reddish-brown in the video, instead of his usual dark brown locks. While that could be a result of the video's lighting, it seems more likely that it was either a hairpiece or dyed. His gray sideburns are clearly visible, and their shade definitely doesn't match the rest of his hair. The List reached out to Amber Reneé, a makeup artist and hair/wig stylist, and asked her thoughts on the former prime minister's 'do. She agreed that not everything was copacetic. "There's definitely an air of artificiality going on up there, and it gave more 'costume party' than 'Prime Ministerial poise.'" Sounds like something President Donald Trump can relate to.

While Trudeau and Trump may have their issues, they do share one thing in common: bad hair days.

So, what's really going on with Justin Trudeau's hair? Amber Reneé had some ideas. "The volume was suspiciously high, the color a little too uniform, and the texture just didn't vibe with natural lighting" she noted. Basically, nothing was working in Trudeau's favor here.

How would Reneé advise the former prime minister for his next video? For starters, she'd tell him to embrace his salt-and-pepper look. (Honestly, it works for so many celebrities, including George Clooney, Hugh Grant, and Steve Carell.) His gray sideburns are real, and there are ways to make them stand out in a good way. "A more natural, dimensional color, a modern cut with softer texture, and letting go of the need to preserve a youthful look would've made all the difference," Reneé added.

Are you listening, Justin? Hiding behind hair dye or a toupee is not the answer. Everyone ages, and such a statesman shouldn't be concerned about sporting his natural look.
