Over the years, much has been speculated about President Donald Trump's hair, but he's never admitted to having a reason for choosing his particular hairstyle other than the fact that it's the way he "likes it." However, on Friday, that all changed when he finally admitted to having a bald spot — and trying to hide it.

“Oh, I try like hell to hide the bald spot, folks. I work at it,” he told the crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Oxon Hill, Maryland. “It doesn’t look bad. Hey, we are hanging in, we are hanging in, we are hanging in there. Right? Together, we are hanging in.”

Trump's honest take on his hair came after a video of him boarding Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base on Feb. 2 revealed a bald spot on the back of his head when his signature mane was whipped by the gusty wind.

Trump's hair has been a topic of conversation for years, and he has often talked about it himself. In a much-maligned interview on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon," the late-night host was allowed to mess up then-candidate Trump's hair to prove that it was real.

Trump has also made it clear multiple times that he doesn't wear a wig or a "rug" as he's called it. "As everybody knows, but the haters and losers refuse to acknowledge, I do not wear a 'wig.' My hair may not be perfect, but it's mine," he once wrote on Twitter.

"I do not wear a rug. My hair is 100 percent mine. No animals have been harmed in the creation of my hairstyle," the former businessman quipped in his book, "Trump: How to Get Rich."
