The 24th Annual Crown Awards
Super-Hair's biggest event of the year admittedly had some stumbles in 2023-24 - with one woman removed as not qualified for her category, one category receiving extended voting due to a wrong photo AND a disqualification on announcement day!
But overall voting was up about 50% from the year before, and we honored your choices as the best hairstyles of the year 14 March on Google Meet. Congratulations to all our Crown winners!
BEST SHORT HAIR: ALEXIS SAFOYAN.
A Hair Fan apparently found this actress in a FreshPet commercial. She wound up being the top cat over a golf reporter.
Safoyan 36 percent, Eilidh Barbour 29%, Nathalie Emmanuel 16%, Jamie Yuccas 13%, Jill Bauer 7%.
BEST LONG HAIR: PAMELLA AZEREDO.
An Instagram star with a law degree wins this top category for the third time in five years, and makes it four in five years for Brazil.
Azeredo 45 percent, Disha Patani 23%, Anisa Sojka 18%, Allie LaForce 10%, Susan Li 5%.
BEST CURLS: BRIT WATKINS.
A New York model who says "God bless the tress" becomes the first Black woman to win the Curl Crown outright.
Watkins 36 percent, Rachael Price 27%, Johannah Grenaway 22%, Amelia Clarkson 10%, Khrystyne Haje 5%.
BEST BANGS: LaLISA MANOBAN AND JANE SEYMOUR (TIE).
The BlackPink singer wins for the second year in a row - but again she must share the Crown, this time with a 73-year-old Hair Fan's Hall of Fame member. One voter called this the "toughest competition" of all.
Manoban 39 percent, Seymour 29 percent, Grace Palmer 22%, Melissa Rauch 17%, Valeriia Piekhova 3%.
BEST HAIRSTYLE ON TELEVISION: SAM BOIK.
After some photo confusion on our part, the host of Mile High Living in Denver survived extended voting to become the first non-network winner of this award. She now has seven Crowns in five years.
Boik 33 percent, Brec Bassinger 30%, Kendy Kloepfer 21%, Ariana Guerra 9%, Jennifer Aniston 7%.
BEST HAIRSTYLE IN A MOVIE: SHAILENE WOODLEY.
She appeared in Robots, but her long hair was real and really impressed our voters. A problem with counting Week 1 votes turned out not to matter.
Woodley 41 percent, Teyonah Parris 19%, Nathalie Emmanuel 16%, Hayden Panettiere 16%, Isabel Cueva 9%.
BEST HAIRSTYLE IN MUSIC: RACHAEL PRICE.
The Lake Street Dive singer may have slipped in the Curl Clash, but not here. A repeat performance gives her three Music Crowns in six years.
Price 30 percent, Tait McRae 24%, Adele 22%, Lauren Daigle 17%, Rita Ora 7%.
BEST HAIRSTYLE IN ATHLETICS: JASMINE PEREZCHICA.
Arizona's senior softball star wins for the second year in a row, as a big final week pushed her past a pro wrestler.
Perezchica 39 percent, Marna Tucker 33%, Taylor Pleasants 17%, Sara Dabritz 6%, Sunisa Lee 6%.
NEWCOMER OF THE YEAR: RILEY GAINES BARKER.
A sports "traditionalist" from Kentucky finished second in the voting. But she wins the Crown because the front-runner turned out to be an artificial intelligence creation and was disqualified only hours before the ceremony.
Riley Gaines Barker 29 percent, Bela Bajaria 22%, Ashton Leigh 12%, Ice Spice 6%; "Tessa Rapunzel" 31% (AI/DQ).
BEST BLONDE (TIE): ALLIE LaFORCE AND STEPHANIE MEAD.
Sports and weather meet together, with a Turner basketball reporter finishing even with a Detroit TV meteorologist.
LaForce 27 percent, Mead 27 percent, Brec Bassinger 21%, Rita Ora 16%, Kersten Lindquist 10%.
BEST BRUNETTE: JOYCE GIRAUD.
From what we can tell, this HSN hair care regular is the first-ever Crown winner from Puerto Rico, gaining praise for "some of the lovesliest hair in the world.". A woman from Gambia was a close second.
Giraud 34 percent, Anisa Sojka 29%, Disha Patani 21%, Jackie Redmond 9%, Susan Graver 7%.
BEST REDHEAD (TIE): KAREN GILLAN AND BEKKA PREWITT.
A record third tie occurs in one of the best Crown rivalries. The Scottish actress is now a five-time "Redhead Rumble" winner, while the U.S. actress has two wins.
Gillan 27 percent, Prewitt 27 percent, Jennifer Todryk 19%, Lauren Lewis 18%, Liz Claman 8%.
BEST SILVER HAIR: "ALEX A".
A "gray hair model" from London came from behind to win, as the Week 1 leader's supporters apparently didn't stick around.
Alex A 35 percent, Annika Von Holdt 25%, Samantha Pollack 22%, Revalina Tokromo 18%.
BEST HAIRSTYLE IN JOURNALISM: MONIKA PLAHA.
For the first time, this much-discussed Crown leaves the U.S. A BBC News anchor and documentary producer was close last year, but overwhelmed the field this time.
Plaha 42 percent, Niku Kazori 28%, Fernanda Hernandez 20%, Sandra Smith 6%, Alex Witt 5%.
MAKEOVER OF THE YEAR: ISABELA MERCED.
Added bangs made a big difference for this one-time Nickelodeon star. A supermodel of the 1980s wound up disappointing.
Merced 42 percent, Michelle Wolfe 24%, Annika Noelle 18%, Katelyn MacMullen 10%, Kim Alexis 6%.
BEST HAIRSTYLE IN WEATHER/SCIENCE: STEPHANIE MEAD.
The meteorologist who moved to WJBK in Detroit is the only double Crown winner of this year. And she does it with the highest percentage of any winner - higher than last year!
Mead 52 percent, Autumn Robertson 30%, Molly McCollum 11%, Jen Carfagno 6%, Ashlee Baracy 2%.
BEST HAIRSTYLE IN GOVERNMENT/POLITICS: KRISTI NOEM.
She faces a lawsuit over her dental work, but the South Dakota Governor's hair fairly won her first Crown since 2010.
Noem 31 percent, Regina Romero 24%, Mattie Daughtry 20%, Amanda Ballard 18%, Maia Sandu 7%.
BEST HAIRSTYLE IN SPORTS REPORTING: MALIKA ANDREWS.
A tight three-way race goes to the NBA Today host at the wire, for her second Crown in three years.
Andrews 28 percent, Cynthia Frelund 26%, Michelle Margaux 23%, Alexis Nunes 18%, Krystle Rich-Bell 5%.
BEST PONYTAIL: CASEY KRUEGER.
She moved during the vote from soccer's Chicago Red Stars to the Washington Spirit. A spurt of votes in the final week brought her victory.
Krueger 31 percent, Lakshmi Ambati 25%, Anisa Sojka 25%, Avery Pohl 11%, Brooke Henderson 8%.
BEST HAIR IN FINANCIAL REPORTING: SARA EISEN.
She calls "foreign exchange" her first love. Voters loved her blonde cut enough to return this Crown to CNBC.
Eisen 40 percent, Becky Quick 29%, Julia Boorstin 17%, Susan Li 10%, Haidi Stroud-Watts 4%.
BEST HAIR IN A SOAP OPERA/TELENOVELA: AVERY POHL.
The actress with the most controversial photo outshone the other stars, anyway. General Hospital now has four "Soap Crowns" in five years.
Pohl 31 percent, Zuleyka Silver 27%, Brook Kerr 19%, Laura Wright 16%, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood 6%.
SUPER-HAIR WARS CHAMPION HAIRSTYLE OF THE YEAR: ALLI BAXTER.
A TV journalist in Traverse City, Michigan grew a following to win six matches in a row, including a stunning playoff victory over Stephanie Mead.
