Hillary Clinton's stylist sets the record straight about her hair


Considering the fact that presidential candidates are being asked if they would kill baby Hitler and keep changing their stories about stabbing people, it should come as no real surprise that Donald Trump is accusing someone else of having bad hair.
On Wednesday, Trump appeared on conservative radio host Mark Levin's show, and asked Levin if he had noticed Hillary Clinton's new hairstyle, The Hill reports. Levin responded that it was "called a wig." "Is that a wig?" Trump replied. "It really was shocking to see it. You're right, it must be. ... It was massive. Her hair became massive." The pair weren't the only ones jumping on the "it's a wig" train, with The Drudge Report's Matt Drudge tweeting out several close-up photos of Clinton with captions like "Human Or Synthetic?" and "The Whig Party..." The noted fedora wearer did not use any of his allotted 140 characters to explain why he thought the photos were evidence she was wearing a wig, or why it even matters.
If anyone knows the truth about Clinton's hair, it's her hairdresser, Santa Nikkels, owner of the magical-sounding Santa's Hair Salon in Chappaqua, New York. Nikkels told People directly that not only is Clinton's hair real, but it's "the most amazing hair in the world." She also shared a prediction about her famous client: "No matter what, she is going to be the president, that is what I am telling you."
