Super-Hair World Cup VII

!PELO PRIMERO! MEXICO MANES ON TOP!

We marked the 25th year of annual international tournaments on this site with a rematch of the very first one. Canada and Mexico clashed in the finals of Super-Hair World Cup I in 2002. And in 2026, they met again for the title in Super-Hair World Cup VII - but this time, the result was reversed. Mexico, represented by Fernanda Hernandez Martin, takes the world hair championship!

Hernandez Martin was born in Querétaro, but for years has been at home anchoring TV newscasts in Shreveport, Louisiana. She won a hard-fought Championship Final over Canadian actress Brooke D'Orsay, winning 60% of the votes over a Hair Fan's Hall of Fame member.

Mexico's crowning was delayed by about 18 hours, because the Consolation Final for third place was tied. After extra time, that contest finally went to Lithuanian model Irmina Preisegalaviciute - receiving 56% of the votes over German journalist Marwa Eldessouky.

The 16 nations in Super-Hair World Cup VII determined through tournaments going back several years. After a month of open nominations, a live draw for groups on Google Meet, a National Qualifying Week and six weeks of round-robin Group Play, four group winners advanced to the knockout round...

GREEN GROUP

MEXICO: FERNANDA HERNANDEZ MARTIN. A Crown Award-winning TV news anchor in Shreveport, Louisiana swept her group with little opposition.

Mexico 13 points, Egypt (Jamila Awad) 7, Iceland (Tanja Astorsdottir) 3, Switzerland (Livia Peng) 0.

RED GROUP
