Get used to seeing Marouane Fellaini's luxurious, curly locks for the foreseeable future.

The Belgium midfielder made an instant impact after coming off the bench against Algeria in the second half of the Red Devils' Group H opener, scoring the equalizer with a perfectly placed header.

In an interview with Sporza, a Belgian media outlet, Fellaini vows he will get rid of his signature hairstyle should Belgium win the World Cup in Brazil. 

"If we win the World Cup, I cut my hair off. Whether I am sure, Yes, absolutely. We have a deal," Fellaini said.

He made a similar claim regarding Manchester United and the Champions League. His afro was never threatened. 

"I've never won the cup, my hair remains so."

Though Belgium is one of the more promising young teams in the competition, this probably won't be their year. Fans of the best hair in the game can breathe easy.
