Cristiano Ronaldo faces no competition in winning 'Salon d'Or' award for best hair in football

Portugal football team captain Cristiano Ronaldo might have some competition in the run for the Ballon d'Or award this year but the forward has no competition when it comes to having the best hair in the game as he won the Salon d'Or for the best hair in the game.

Ronaldo was voted the winner of the Salon d'Or award by Goal magazine after they got readers to decide whose mane they liked the best. Ronaldo claimed an overwhelming victory with 32 percent of the vote.

Right behind Ronaldo at the second spot was Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo, whose retro long hair and beard was a popular look, with 9.4 percent of the vote, News.com.au reported.

Brazil's Neymar came third with 7.9 percent of the vote for his spiky mop.

The 20-player shortlist was drawn up by international hair stylist Daniel Johnson, which included Liverpool's Mario Balotelli and Real Madrid's Gareth Bale.

Johnson revealed that Ronaldo deserves this victory, adding that the Real Madrid star wears his hair like the badge on his shirt, with serious pride.
