Thanks To Ivanka We Finally Know the Secret to Donald Trumps Hair




To gaze upon Donald Trump’s hair is like trying to make sense of a particularly elaborate M.C. Escher drawing. Just when you think you’ve figured out how all of the straw-colored, gossamer strands fit together, he turns his head and you realize nothing is what it seems, reality is an illusion, and life is pointless. But now, we may finally know how Trump accomplishes this remarkable feat of engineering.

In an extract from his new book Fire and Fury: Inside Trump’s White House, published by New York Magazine on Wednesday, reporter Michael Wolff revealed that Trump’s styling secrets have been disclosed by none other than his most trusted confidante — his daughter Ivanka:

For Ivanka, it was all business — building the Trump brand, the presidential campaign, and now the White House. She treated her father with a degree of detachment, even irony, going so far as to make fun of his comb-over to others. 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 secured by a stiffening spray. The color, she would point out to comical effect, was from a product called Just for Men — the longer it was left on, the darker it got. Impatience resulted in Trump’s orange-blond hair color.

Scalp Reductions are an important adjunctive procedure when doing hair replacement surgery. With Scalp Reductions, surgeons surgically remove parts of the bald or thinning skin, and then stretch the surrounding thicker, hair-bearing scalp to close the defect in the area from which the bald skin was removed. With the Flap procedure, reductions are done between the Flaps and behind the second Flap, to maximize the coverage of the Flap procedure. The baldness is always removed between the two Flaps. Sometimes, with more extensive baldness, there is residual baldness within the vertex, or crown, behind the second Flap. Other Beverly Hills scalp reduction patients will choose to have Reductions behind the second Flap, and eliminate more or all of their baldness.

This surgery involves cutting away the bald parts of the scalp—as in, actually removing large chunks of skin on your head—and then stretching and sewing together the skin that's still producing hair. If it sounds Frankenstein Monster-esque, that’s because it is.

divorce records, he was so angry about the results of the surgery -- which was done by a plastic surgeon recommended by Ivana -- that he ripped handfuls of her hair out and then raped her:

with his soiled bed linens strewn all over the floor, in a KFC gravy stained bathrobe trying to "make himself up" for the day. I am sure he keeps the door locked because he would be mortified if anyone ever saw what he really looked like when he woke up in the morning.

I never saw that film but should watch it. I keep picturing him like some pathetic Norma Desmond character in Sunset Boulevard or Bette Davis's character in "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane". Just this ridiculous, clownish, vain person who has no idea how ridiculous he looks.
