And then there were TWO.

We started with 64 entries in the American Salon elimination photo contest, BEAUTY BADNESS 2024: The Fiercest Hair on Instagram.

After six rounds of voting (including tough competition in the Final Four), here are the looks that advanced to the championship.

Winning the left side of the bracket is Goldwell National Artist Ethan King of Austin, TX, who created the look as part of his "Evolving Texture" collection with Zachary Jarid.

Winning the right side is a collab from Sara Bierman and Jessi Koehler of Appleton, WI — a fierce look that's actually the "after" shot of an amazing transformation. (Check out the before on their original Instagam post!)

Vote for the winning look below. Tap the artist's @handle to see their entry on Instagram.

Voting is open through midnight ET on Tuesday, April 9 with the winner announced here on Wednesday, April 10.

One last time: Have fun, good luck, and may the baddest hair slay!
