The hair of the new president of the United States has a hypnotic effect. Amy Lasch, head of hairdressing for Trump's television reality show, has explained the tycoon's beauty secrets.
It is almost inevitable to fix your gaze on his head. About his hairstyle, to be more exact. The filigree that Donal Trumo (60) wears on his head is something that seems inexplicable. How does the new president of the United States comb his hair? It's a wig?
We are not the first to ask ourselves the same questions and there are media outlets that have even dedicated journalistic investigations to the matter. The answers, however, are usually not correct. Those who know him closely, those who have had his head less than a meter away, are the ones who clear up doubts. They and Trump himself, of course, who has had to answer more than once about the bizarre crooked man who looks at the top.
The hairdresser Amy Lasch (52) has been one of the few to be able to solve the mystery. She was the hairdresser responsible for the first installments of The Apprentice, the television reality show in which the new president chose entrepreneurs. "A calamity." This is how Lasch defines the hairstyle of the businessman turned politician.
"He has very long hair and combs it from front to back," she says, "he does it himself. And it's real, it's his hair, he doesn't have implants or a wig." The stylist herself says that she was always mesmerized by the work that the businessman wears in her head and that it is very easy to conclude that she has not set foot in a hair salon in years. "When I looked at the back of his head I could tell he didn't get a haircut. It was scary. It's cut in a straight line. And the color is inconsistent, it's not done right. They've colored the ends but they haven't He's done the color right underneath. It's someone in his inner circle who cuts and colors his hair. His wife or maybe his daughter."
To maintain those roller-coaster shapes, the president-elect uses "tons of hairspray." It is obvious. "He carries a spray with him and uses it often. It helps him keep his hair in place. And I couldn't change a strand. I used to take out my comb and show him where to set it, and he'd comb it."
"Okay, what I do is wash my hair with H&S and I never dry it. I let it dry on its own, which takes an hour or so. In the meantime I read newspapers and things," Donald Trump said in an interview in 2011. by Rolling Stone. "Then I comb it. Yeah, I use a comb…What if I comb it back? No, I don't. I actually have a nice part and that, when you think about it, is fine. I mean, I don't I comb it forward [the trick a lot of people use to cover up an incipient cleavage: they leave their hair long on one side and put it over the bald spot to hide.] What I do is kind of a back-and-forth hairstyle. And I've been doing it for years. Same thing, every time."
Since 1980, Trump has sported the same hairstyle, although the color has varied from brown to gray to white to chick yellow. Everyone has noticed his hairstyle, which has been a source of ridicule in his country. During the electoral campaign, he let himself be loved, and even let his hair be disheveled. The great presence that Trump had on television during the campaign has been the subject of many articles: he was funny and increased the audience. No one thought that this would help him win an election. Not even Jimmy Fallon, audience leader in the late night slot, thought that disheveling Trump's hair would cause him to fall more likeable.
That hair labyrinth has been the subject of debate in the United States, where the digital magazine Gawker published that the businessman wore a wig and implants. They even named the company that had allegedly fixed his head: Ivari International, whose offices are in Trump Tower. Once the article was published on the internet, Ivari's lawyer denied the news and assured that Trump has never been his client. "Ivari has never treated his hair in any way, at any time."
Although Gawker was not convinced and they maintain that Trump wears a wig and implants, the testimony of hairdresser Amy Lasch completely refutes the theory. The president's fine, fragile, almost baby-like hair, snaking, is a hallmark of the character, as is his bright orange skin (except for his white circles under his eyes).
A makeup artist, Jason Kelly, who was in charge of caring for the image of several Republican politicians during the election campaign, including Trump, has spoken about his face. A UVA bed, a skin tanning spray… "I can even see the hyperpigmentation around his eyes," Kelly said.
Neither the hairdresser nor the makeup artist (both supported Hillary Clinton in the last elections) agree with the look of Donald Trump. Moreover, they have openly criticized him in the media. Something that does not seem to affect the internet and its freaks.
There are dozens of tutorials on YouTube to achieve the same effect on Trump's face, all sarcastic. And there are also several websites (don't miss www.trumpshair.com) where one can enter a photo of him and try out how the hairstyle of the new president of the United States would look.
It seems that the tycoon will not only be talked about by his political excesses. The image of him is something that one fixates on, inevitably, and that can hypnotize him. Watch out!
