Ranchi: A salon that Indian cricket captain
Mahendra Singh Dhoni used to visit in the past here, announced
free haircut after the national team's historic World Cup
victory after 28 years.
And although no one shave off hair to emulate Dhoni's
new look, but 10 persons availed the free haircut offered by
parlour on Sunday.
"We announced a free haircut on Sunday after India's win
on Saturday. Ten persons had their haircut yesterday," a
spokesperson of the beauty parlour said.
The salon shot into fame four years ago when Dhoni, who
had long locks then, used to visit the parlour at Lalpur area
here.
Dhoni, who later trimmed his hair, now has shaved it off
after India's World Cup victory.
"No, not yet," the spokesperson said when asked whether
any of the Dhoni fans had turned up to emulate the World Cup
winning captain's new style.
Long hair, made popular by Dhoni once, is still a fashion
statement amongst youngsters, including India's ODI batsman
Saurav Tiwari.
