Meet the frizz kid! Speed king Lewis reveals crowning glory

- By Dominique Hines

AFTER beating the record for Formula One wins with his 92nd victory, he’s entitled to let his hair down.

And racing champion Lewis Hamilton has done just that – showing us a rare glimpse of his frizzy crop of curls.

The 35-year-old, who normally sports cornrows, took to Instagram to show off his impressive honey-coloured bob.

He received thousands of encouragin­g comments and even supermodel Naomi Campbell gave praise, writing: ‘What a mane, lil bro!’

Last year, there was talk that he might have had hair transplant surgery after previously appearing to be balding.

However, he’s since insisted the thinning hair was simply a result of ‘bad hair products’.

He said last year: ‘I used to wash my hair with bath soap and genuinely anything I had at the time. Would wash it three times a day, morning, after training and at night.’

On Sunday, Hamilton tore up Michael Schumacher’s record of 91 Formula One victories with a 25-second win in the Portuguese Grand Prix.
