'It's better to do things with hair!' - Cristiano Ronaldo opens up on confidence-boosting treatment as he bids to avoid going bald

Ronaldo has once again offered a glimpse into his off-field life, opening up about his views on appearance, self-confidence, and hair care. The Al-Nassr forward, who remains one of football’s most marketable icons, spoke candidly about how his hairstyle has long been part of his personal identity. According to Ronaldo, his hair is more than just a fashion statement — it’s a symbol of the confidence that has defined his career at the highest level.

In an interview with Loud FM, the Portugal captain humorously confessed that his appearance wouldn’t be the same without his hair. He said: “It’s better to do things with hair. I think so. Do you not agree with me? I prefer it. If you see me, for example, without the hair, I will not be the same Cristiano.” He added, “So many people don’t care if they have hair or not. I believe with hair, you’re looking better. So this is just my opinion.”

Ronaldo’s comments reflected the lighthearted but genuine importance he places on self-image and personal grooming. For someone whose career has long thrived on confidence, charisma, and stage presence, maintaining a consistent look is part of the overall package.

Over the years, Ronaldo has constantly reinvented his look, from his early spiky cuts at Manchester United to more refined styles at Real Madrid and Juventus. His attention to detail has always extended beyond football, influencing trends and inspiring millions of fans worldwide. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner believes that this image-conscious approach has helped him maintain his self-belief and public presence throughout his two-decade-long career.

Ronaldo’s stance on hair care is a natural extension of his broader ventures in fashion, fitness, and wellness. Through his company Inspire — part of the Insparya Group, which he co-founded — he aims to promote self-esteem through advanced hair restoration treatments. The clinics specialize in innovative transplant technology and have positioned Ronaldo at the forefront of the global hair aesthetics industry.

Ronaldo’s focus on self-image mirrors his approach on the pitch, where discipline and confidence have powered one of football’s most decorated careers. The Portuguese forward has lifted five Ballon d’Or awards, five UEFA Champions League titles, and multiple league crowns across England, Spain, and Italy. He also guided Portugal to their first major international triumphs — the 2016 UEFA European Championship and the 2019 and 2025 Nations League.

His consistency and longevity at the top level are unparalleled, with Ronaldo holding records as the all-time leading scorer in both men’s international football and the Champions League. Across spells with Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and now Al-Nassr, he has scored 976 career goals, showcasing an elite mindset built on preparation, confidence, and relentless ambition. For Ronaldo, maintaining his trademark image — from his hair to his fitness — is not vanity but part of the professionalism that sustains his elite performance.

At 40, Ronaldo shows no signs of slowing down — on or off the field. While continuing to lead Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, he is increasingly focused on expanding his business empire in health, beauty, and lifestyle sectors. His goal is to ensure his legacy endures beyond football, empowering others to feel confident and inspired in their own skin.

As Inspire continues to grow in the Middle East, Ronaldo is expected to play a more active role in promoting the message of self-care and personal confidence. His massive social media following — now exceeding 665 million on Instagram — gives him unparalleled influence in shaping global beauty and wellness conversations.
