Among the 475 Best of Denver blurbs published in the 2012 edition, Westword chose, as it does each year, the best hair on a TV personality for both female and male categories. This year, the women's top spot went to Nina Sparano of Fox 31 and KWGN, a technology reporter with "brunette locks that were downright luxurious." But judging the crowded field of other great 'dos on Denver TV screens is a difficult task.

Herewith, we present Sparano's beautiful hair and her nine runners-up. Ladies, tip your stylists (or name-drop them in the comments, they deserve it!)
