Radamel Falcao Asks Hairdresser to Make 400-Mile Round Trip for Blow Dry

Footballers are well known for taking a lot of care with their personal grooming, but Radamel Falcao might just have taken it to the next level.

During his time at Manchester United last season, the Colombian striker took a particular liking to the work of a Salford hairdresser by the name of Ed Mascarenhas.

He was such a big fan, in fact, that he requested for the stylist to make the 400-mile round trip from Manchester to London so he could receive the hairdresser's famed Brazilian blow-dry treatment. 

"Falcao loves a Brazilian blow dry," Mascarenhas told the Manchester Evening News (via the Mirror). "The treatment is revolutionary. It smooths and sleeks the hair giving the client manageable hair that takes very little styling."

The treatment takes two hours and involves plying the hair with keratin, which repairs damage and protects it from further harm.

If only Falcao's legs were so easy to maintain, he might have made more than the one start for Chelsea in the Premier League this season.
