We may finally know where Donald Trump's hair comes from
Contrary to what he repeats, Trump's hair is probably fake.
This is one of the great mysteries of the American presidential campaign. Where does Donald Trump's hair come from? Why are they arranged on his skull in such a strange way? Many Americans are puzzled.

"It's the part of Trump's hair that baffles me the most."
The Republican candidate has had his hair pulled several times in public to prove that he does not have a wig. But the bizarre shape of her hair remains unexplained, including the way her hair moves evenly in the wind.
Several crazy interpretations have been circulating. Did Trump's hair come from the coastal meadows of northern Norway, as this image suggests?

New York-based site Gawker took the matter seriously and, following a reader's tip, journalist Ashley Feinberg investigated the Ivari International hair clinic, which closed in the US in 2010 and is being sued in court by several former clients.
Extensions
This clinic has developed a very expensive technique – $60,000 for an initial treatment and with costly and regular maintenance – which uses “micro-cylinders” to attach hair extensions to the skull. The photos found by Gawker on the Ivari site show that the results are quite close to the Trump style.
Although neither Trump nor Edward Ivari (also known as Mohammed Ali Ivari) have confirmed the connection, one detail tends to confirm it. Until 2005, the Ivari Clinic in New York was on the 25th floor of Trump Tower, a private floor set aside for Donald Trump's office and other personal spaces for his loved ones.
Trump's campaign team did not respond to Gawker's requests for comment, but at a political rally in California the day after the article was published, the candidate broached the subject: "It's my hair , whether you like them or not. It's my hair." And the crowd screamed and cheered.
