Not fake news:
Donald Trump’s Wax Figure Hair Is Actually Made Out of Yak and Squirrel"
Madame Tussauds in London unveiled President-elect Donald Trump’s wax figure Wednesday, the culmination of five months of work, CNN reports. The museum made four replicas of the figure: the original will remain in London while the rest were shipped to New York, Orlando, and Washington, D.C., and will arrive in time for Trump’s inauguration Friday.
According to Mashable, it took 20 artists and about $185,000 to get the figure done. Chief sculptor David Gardner told CNN he was “lucky enough to get some measurements from a sitting we had in 1997 at the Trump towers,” so building his body out wasn’t an issue. In fact, nailing the essence of Trump for his waxwork was easy “because of his character. It was almost as far as doing a caricature and bringing it back.”
It was Trump’s hair that was more problematic for stylists. For those who don’t know, Donald Trump’s hair has been a lacquered yellow-orange helmet molded to his head for as long as he’s been a public figure. Madame Tussauds was forced to call outside consultants (including a stylist from The Apprentice) to help recreate it.
Oh, and: "His hair is a mixture of human hair and yak hair. We use yak hair with people with white hair because human hair is not readily available," hairstylist Kelly Cox said. Also, his eyebrows are made of squirrel hair.

Main surprise to me was that it wasn't moose and squirrel.
