Boris Johnson has apologised for his unruly hair saying that he tries to do his best with it and keep it tidy.
Responding to a reporter who asked Johnson on behalf of his mother why he never appeared to brush his hair, the PM said: “I do! It’s something to do with my hair but I can tell you I do brush it – I have a brush in my office.
“Your hair is always all over the place and she wants to know why,” the journalist had remarked.
Johnson continued to apologise for his hair, saying: “Anyway, will you give your mother my very best for a very happy Christmas. And my apologies for my hair but I do my best with it.”

The British prime minister’s hair has been the subject of many conversations and memes with historian Greg Jenner saying that Johnson had “weaponised his hair as iconic branding”.
“I’ve seen him deliberately mess it up before giving a speech,” he had said.
In a report dated July 2019, AFP had written that “to his [Johnson’s] backers, the haircut mirrors his unconventional thinking and personality, which they see as an antidote to a monolithic political order that they blame for economic catastrophe and an erosion of national sovereignty.”
“To his opponents, it demonstrates a buffoonish temperament that is unsuited to public office, and which makes Britain a laughing stock on the international stage,” they added.
