A Japanese inventor has created something for Donald Trump that can only be described as "yuge."

The so-called "guard wig" is a blond toupee that can be used to cover the head for warmth or as a weapon against assassins, attackers or political rivals.

That's because the wacky wig contains metal and a coiled strap inside. Hold one end of the strap and fling it at the object of your irritation, RocketNews24.com.

The "guard wig" is the brainchild of 87-year-old Yoshiro Nakamatsu. He claims he's invented the floppy disk -- a claim disputed by IBM -- as well as the CD, the DVD, the karaoke machine, a water-powered engine, the world’s tiniest air conditioner and a pillow that prevents drivers from nodding off behind the wheel, according to Smithsonian magazine.

Oh, and we can't forget the perpetual motion machine that runs on heat and cosmic energy.

But Nakamatsu is saving his greatest invention for the man who wants to make America great again: The Donald.

Nakamatsu unveiled the "guard wig" on Saturday at a press conference at the Foreign Correspondents' Club in Tokyo. 

During the conference, Nakamatsu showed two diagrams from his patent to show how the "guard wig" works.

The "guard wig" might seem practical for a man whose campaign slogan is more aptly described as "Make America hate again," but, chances are, Trump won't take advantage of this wonderful example of technology.

Trump insists his bizarre combover is his real hair -- not a wig -- and has even invited random citizens to tug on his hair to prove it's real, according to CNN.

Nakamatsu's complete press conference -- all 47 minutes of it -- can be seen below. It's in Japanese with English subtitles.

In completely unrelated news, Zac Efron has fled to a deserted island off the coast of Thailand never to be heard from again. 

For those who were betting on (wink) a fourth "High School Musical" movie now is your time to collect because on Tuesday, Disney Channel announced that the Wildcats will live again. Not in your nightmares, but on TV. 

"High School Musical is part of Disney Channel’s DNA. It embodies all that we stand for," Disney Channel president Gary Marsh said in a statement. "As a way of continuing to embrace that heritage, we're excited to announce 'the start of something new' -- as we launch a search for a new class of East High Wildcats to star in a fourth installment of the 'High School Musical' franchise."

By start of something new he means the (re)start of a series that should have never survived after its first installment, right? Just checking. 

According to the press release, the fourth movie will introduce a whole new set of singing, sports-playing East High Wildcats, as well as members of their rival school, the West High Knights.

We know, the dramatic tension is palpable. 

All of the "HSM" OGs are unlikely to return (see Efron and deserted island above), but who knows what Ashley Tisdale is up to these days. Casting will begin soon, but there is no definite premiere date. 

Yet ... dun, dun, dun

"Beauty Glossary" is a HuffPost series that breaks down beauty products, techniques, treatments and ingredients so you know exactly what you're putting onto and into your body. 

Watching our grandmothers, mothers, aunts and sisters apply cold cream to their faces is one of our most memorable childhood experiences. The simple act of scooping the cool-to-the-touch product out of a jar and smoothing it on was magical, especially when you consider how incredibly soft it made their skin.

Our fascination with cold cream is also because of its many unconventional uses. HuffPost readers have confessed to utilizing it as foundation primer, shaving cream, lip balm, body lotion and makeup remover. Yet, we weren't sure about the ingredients in cold cream and exactly how they work, so we turned to acclaimed dermatological surgeon Patricia Wexler for the answers.

Cold cream has been around for much longer than we assumed -- its invention is widely credited to second-century Greek physician and philosopher Galen. 

"Coldcream is an emulsion of water in oil, usually in beeswax and various fragrances," says Wexler. "This is unlike the typical 'oil in water,' which disappears when applied to the skin. The name comes from the cold feeling the cream leaves on the skin on application."

Wexler says that cold creams generally consist of four main ingredients: water, oil, emulsifier and a thickening agent. The amount of water and oil is approximately in equal proportions, allowing the cream to penetrate the outer layer of skin well.

Various fragrances such as almond, violet or rose are added to cold cream, depending on the application. Wexler notes that modern-day cold creams often replace beeswax and olive oil with mineral and jojoba oils. And they'll contain additional ingredients like borax (to whiten) and glycerin (to hydrate).

Wexler believes cold creams do help to moisturize dry, itchy skin. Think rough elbows, knees and sunburned or chapped lips. "The cool application is very helpful especially, when the dryness is very uncomfortable," she says.

However, the dermatologist admits that cold creams aren't "cosmetically elegant." She adds, "If you are not prone to acne and do not mind the 'greasy element,' the benefit of the very smooth, moist skin is worth it."

If you're looking for a great cold cream, Wexler's top two picks are: Weleda Cold Cream because it "let's skin breathe," thanks to the use of beeswax instead of mineral oil or petrolatum. Not to mention, it's formulated with sweet almond oil, which softens and soothes. And Avène ColdCream, for its "ultra-rich barrier repair" and thermal spring water that helps protect it from environment aggressors like the sun and wind.

Maternity fashion doesn't always elicit images of body-con dresses, denim cut-offs and chic off-the-shoulder tops, but there's reasons it shouldn't. Over the past few years, pregnancy clothes have gotten much more fashionable and more moms-to-be are having dressing their bumps. 

To get a little inspiration, we turned to some very stylish mamas (or soon-to-be-mamas) to find out how they are turning maternity style on its head. These ladies have some of the best outfits we've ever seen -- pregnant or not.

Sometimes, to be a woman over 50 is to feel invisible. It's walking into a bar or restaurant and no longer being on the receiving end of an admiring glance. It's feeling like people on the street are looking past you, as if you aren't even there. Ask a middle-aged woman, and she might say these slights have whittled away at her self-confidence, tricking her into believing the best years are behind her. 

We live in a culture that often equates beauty and energy with youth. But we'd like to turn that way of thinking on its head. We believe women can be smart and sassy, beautiful and confident -- and that they can continue to shake things up in the world around them -- whether they're 50 or 75 or 100. 

With that idea in mind, Huff/Post50 photographed 11 very sexy women between the ages of 48 and 67. A few are cancer survivors. A few are grandmothers. A few are single and a few are married. But what they all have in common is that not one is a shrinking violet. They feel better about themselves today than they ever have. We asked each woman to wear whatever makes them feel sexy, and to talk about what being sexy means to them now compared to when they were, say, 21. The resulting photos are stunning -- and entirely un-retouched.

In 1992, it seemed as if only one woman would ever be known as Buffy the vampire slayer: Kristy Swanson.

Swanson starred in the cult film five years before the spinoff TV series debuted with a different actress, Sarah Michelle Gellar. Back then, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" became a film favorite among audiences and to this day remains one of Swanson's most recognizable roles. But, as the 46-year-old tells "Oprah: Where Are They Now?", she's actually had quite a bit going on since those early days of her career.

Film Work

In her post-Buffy days, Swanson appeared in various films, including "The Chase," "Big Daddy" and "Dude, Where's My Car?" She's certainly played characters that audiences develop crushes on, and even her Ashton Kutcher costar was a bit star-struck when she played his love interest in "Dude…" 

"He was very smitten and very funny and very, kind of, geeking out a little bit," Swanson recalls. "He goes, 'You don't understand… You were, like, my high school crush, and now I'm kissing you and I can't believe it.' It was really, really, very sweet and adorable."

Swanson continues to act in both film and television, and says she has embraced her transition from young star into more mature roles.

"I love the fact that I can go from being a child actor and ... now I'm the one playing the mom in the movies," she says. "I get to work with kids, and I know what they're going through on the set every day. I can be there for them as a mentor and a friend and someone to help them, because I know how they feel."

A mother herself, Swanson enjoys offering guidance to child actors to help them grow.

"It's really, really fun to be able to do that role for myself, full circle," she says.

Getting into Golf Fashion

Today, Swanson focuses much of her time on a collection of ladies golf wear she launched in 2014 after one of her own unorthodox outfits on the green sparked a lot of intrigue.

"I was at the Bill Murray/Murray Bros. Caddyshack Tournament one year and I was struggling with what to wear. I grabbed this dress out of my closet and I thought, 'Oh, I'm going to wear this on the golf course," Swanson says. "Everybody went crazy for this dress that I was wearing -- men and women."

So, she approached the designer with the idea for a private label. aDRESSitGOLF was born.

"I'm not a fashion guru and I'm not one that sits there and sews clothing or anything," Swanson says with a laugh. "But I stumbled into this fashion line that I thought was a really great idea and something that was needed in the women's golf world."

Though she's no longer the 22-year-old she was when she played Buffy, Swanson says she's fundamentally no different than she was in those days.

"I'm kind of the same person I was back then, as far as my morals and my values and everything that I stand for," she says. "I've just gone through different life experiences."

"Oprah: Where Are They Now?" airs Saturdays at 10 p.m. ET on OWN.

Contrary to popular our belief, not everyoneloves to go shopping.

Luckily, those cushy store chairs and sofas provide a safe, comfortable place for shopping partners to relax and wallow in their boredom while their friends or loved ones peruse the racks.

It turns out they also provide ample photo opportunities to capture that boredom in all its glory, as popular Instagram account Miserable Men does oh-so-well. 

But that miserable "why me?" feeling is not limited to shopping trips. Here are just 11 other times (to name a few) that we were all these sad, patient men. 

1. When you're hungover at work:

 2. During that 8 a.m. World History lecture:

3. When your friends want to party after a big meal:

4. When Summer ends:

5. On Sunday nights:

6. When you run out of Nutella:

7. When you've listened to Adele's "25" for the 25th time:

8. When guac is extra:

9. When all those people got sick from eating at Chipotle and your lunch plans were ruined:

10. When no one refilled the office coffee pot:

11. When you saw the Super Tuesday results:

A beauty company's ad about aging refreshingly takes the focus off makeup and appearance and puts the spotlight on genuine wisdom from women.

For its #AgeWisely campaign promoting its "Timeless" collection of beauty products, Living Proof asked six middle-aged women about their pasts and gave them a chance to pass along life lessons they've learned over the years. The ad, which lines up with the company's dedication to "rethinking conventional wisdom," features advice regarding love, friendship and the important people in their lives.

One woman appreciated that her mother was "always pushing [her] to do more" growing up, while another said she valued her friendships, noting that "absolutely incredible opportunities have happened because of that."

Living Proof has also celebrated the women's stories with black-and-white photos on social media.

In an Instagram post from Feb. 29, a woman named Alexandra shared the risk she took after marrying someone without her family's support. Despite the obstacle, she had some valuable advice to offer. 

"I've been happily married for 27 years," the caption reads. "My best piece of advice? Follow your heart and you won't be let down."

Kendall Jenner truly is living the dream. 

Not only is she on top of the fashion world, she's also on a hit reality series and, well, extremely rich. In addition to all that, she has a loving sister (Kim Kardashian) who will bring her McDonald's on set while she's working the camera in a miniskirt, thigh-high boots and nothing else. 

How do we know all this? Well, thanks to Vogue's latest video, for which the magazine spent a day in the life of Jenner during New York Fashion Week, we get to see that exact scenario play out. 

In the two-and-a-half minute clip, the 20-year-old also indulges in a pancake breakfast in bed, puts on a private closet fashion show with BFF Gigi Hadid and shaves her legs in the back of a cab. All in a day's work. 

Watch the whole video above.

• Shorter production cycle: H&M needs two to three months from design to market; Lesara needs about 10 days until a new style is available for purchase online.



• Zara is a leader in the Fast Fashion industry, producing 11,000 new items each year. Lesara is two years old and produces 50,000 new items each year.



• Zara delivers new styles to its stores twice a week. Agile Retail companies launch new styles every single day.



• Agile Retail companies focus on the data. They know what consumers want and only


• produce what is going to fly off the shelves. This cuts down on losses from overproducing styles that flop.

• Your online shopping is more customized, because your preferences and profile are recognized. Customer engagement is far superior, as your browsing tendencies can be learned and re-targeted with advertisements and discounts.



• Operation costs are lower in terms of storage, logistics, rent, etc. Those savings are reflected in retail prices.



• Selection will always be wider, not restricted by what can be held at any particular store. Consumers are ordering directly from the warehouse, not buying a piece of clothing that has been tried on by a dozen other people. Shopping online is a better way to be inspired and educated about new trends.



• Consumers can be presented with information in numerous channels that assist them in making more informed selections.
