President Donald Trump's wispy locks were once again whipped up by a breeze as he boarded Air Force One on Thursday.
The president was seen bounding up the carpeted steps to Air Force One at Joint Air Base Andrews before flying to West Virginia.
As he threw his hand in the air to wave, the wind caused his hair to flip over on the side of his head.

In February, the same thing happened to the president's hair as he boarded Air Force One before flying to Mar-a-Lago.
In January, first daughter and White House adviser Ivanka Trump spilled the beans to her friends on how her father's unusual hairstyle came to be, according to author Michael Wolff's book.
'She often described the mechanics behind it to friends: an absolutely clean pate – a contained island after scalp-reduction surgery – surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the center and then swept back and security by a stiffening spray,' Wolff wrote.

The book also claims that the president, at age 71, is no longer a natural blond.
'The color, she would point out in comical effect, was from a product called Just for Men – the longer it was left on, the darker it got,' Wolff said. Just for Men is usually used to hide gray hairs.
'Impatience resulted in Trump's orange-blond hair color,' the book, entitled 'Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,' claimed.
On Thursday, the president headed to West Virginia where he plans to see two GOP Senate candidates during his visit.
Trump who held a discussion on taxes in White Sulphur Springs Thursday afternoon was caught on camera tossing his 'boring' prepared remarks into the air.
But during the discussion Trump went off script and unleashed a fierce denunciation of the nation's immigration policies, calling for tougher border security while repeating his unsubstantiated claim that 'millions' of people voted illegally in California.
Trump was in West Virginia to showcase the benefits of Republican tax cuts, but he took a big and meandering detour to talk about his tough immigration and trade plans.
He linked immigration with the rise of violent gangs like MS-13 and suggested anew that there had been widespread fraud in the 2016 election that cost him the popular vote.
'In many places, like California, the same person votes many times. You probably heard about that,' Trump said.
'They always like to say, "Oh, that's a conspiracy theory." Not a conspiracy theory, folks. Millions and millions of people. And it's very hard because the state guards their records. They don't want us' to see them.
Among those expected to attend are a congressman, Evan Jenkins, and the state's attorney general, Patrick Morrisey.

They're among six Republicans competing in the May 8 for the party's Senate nomination. The incumbent is Democrat Joe Manchin, who is seeking another term in November.
Trump, who overwhelmingly won West Virginia in the 2016 president election, has stayed neutral in the Senate primary so far. He will also discuss his tax overhaul with business owners and families in West Virginia.
The White House says Trump will hear from West Virginia companies that provided benefits to workers due to the tax law, as well as from families and elected officials. The companies include two community banks and a truck dealership.
Republican officials expected to attend include the governor, Jim Justice, and Sen Shelley Moore Capito.Trump signed the $1.5trillion tax package into law in December. The Republican measure cut taxes on corporations and the wealthy, and gave more modest savings for many middle-class and lower-income Americans.
The trip marks Trump's fourth visit to the state as president.
Earlier on Thursday, Trump's administration said it hasn't determined how many troops it will seek to have deployed to the US-Mexico border.
That's according to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. She said: 'We're going to be sending as many troops as we need.'

Ultimately, it will be up to the four border-state governors to finalize the numbers and precise timing.
Nielsen said the administration wants the National Guard's help providing surveillance along the border and maintenance for border patrol vehicles and aircraft to free up law enforcement assets for securing the border.
She also said she'll be speaking again Thursday with California Gov Jerry Brown about earning his support for the deployment.
Trump had a busy Thursday morning that started out with his praise for Mexican government that broke up a 'caravan' of Central American migrants, avoiding what he called 'a giant scene' at the US border.
In a tweet, the president credited 'the strong immigration laws of Mexico and their willingness to use them'.
The tweet came hours after Trump signed a proclamation directing the deployment of National Guard troops to assist in securing the US-Mexico border.
Trump has seized on news reports that the migrant group was traveling toward the U.S. Organizers of the migrant group said they never intended to reach the US border.
He also said that 'border crossings are at a still UNACCEPTABLE 46 year low'.
