Rod Stewart's famous blonde barnet named as 'best celebrity mullet of all time'

Sir Rod Stewart is well known for his love of Celtic, leopard print and his iconic hair do, and now his famous blonde barnet has been given recognition of its own as 'best celebrity mullet of all time'.

The 78-year-old rocker is said to have quite the haircare routine according to his tour manager Elliot Saltzman, who confessed that the Maggie May singer would use mayonnaise on his locks. It's also reported that Sir Rod splashes out £6,000 a year on his “brilliant” hair.

Just last week, Rod showed his fans his hair regime as he shared a picture to his 1.2 million Instagram followers of him chilling at the hairdressers with leopard print foils in his locks.

And now Rod's barnet has come out on top in new research carried out by FoxyBingo, narrowly beating David Bowie's red shock of locks as Ziggy Stardust. Bowie was hair-tied in second place with 80s icon Pat Sharpe, with Roadhouse star Patrick Swayze next in line, followed by footballer Chris Waddle.

Other beloved celebrity mullets included Michael Bolton, Hulk Hogan and country singer Billy Ray Cyrus - father of pop titan Miley, who has also sported a similar look.

According to research, people with mullets apparently have more fun than those who don't - enjoying more nights out, spicier food and a better wardrobe.

Being a free spirit, somewhat mischievous and 'doing the unexpected', topped a list of attributes those with the 80s inspired look believe they have.

While those with more conventional cuts were less likely to think of themselves as a fashion-follower, and only seven per cent like to 'make an impression' when they're out.
