As one of the most famous soccer players and fashion icons in the world, it’s no wonder you’re interested in trying David Beckham’s hairstyles. Whether it’s the classic Beckham haircut or his latest new hairstyle, the superstar has rocked many different styles and looks!
As an English soccer pro who’s had women swooning over his rugged good looks and stylish hairstyles for years, you really can’t go wrong with any of Beckham’s short and long hairstyles. Besides his net worth of millions and his obvious skills on the soccer field, Beckham has made himself known as a style icon who is never afraid to try something new. And whatever hairstyle he decides on, I think we can all agree that he pretty much always pulls it off.
Best David Beckham Hairstyles
Here, we examine every one of David Beckham’s haircuts and hairstyles, from the buzz cut to the man bun to the pompadour and everything in between.
Beckham’s Long Hair – The 90s
First, we take a trip down memory lane to remember Beckham’s haircut when he was just a rising soccer star in the 90’s. In line with the trends of the time, Beckham’s hair was shorter around the sides with floppy, long locks and a middle part on top.
Beckham and Bangs
Afterwards, Beckham dabbled in risky territory when he experimented with bangs. For many of us, bangs gone wrong could be a terrible style decision. But for Beckham, some choppy hair on his forehead didn’t seem to change much about his looks, at least not to devoted fans.
Beckham’s Short Hair – The Buzz Cut
Fans let out a collective sigh of relief when Beckham went with a traditional buzz cut next. It’s sleek, simple, sexy, and framed the chiseled features on his face perfectly; after all, the buzz cut is a great hairstyle for the square face shape. But clearly the buzz cut was too plain for Beckham’s taste, because he then went all out with a mohawk.
Beckham and The Mohawk
David Beckham’s mohawk was certainly different than the quintessential mohawk. The soccer star shaved both sides of his head completely to accentuate the short, thin strip of spiked hair left in the center.
Highlights
Speaking of experimenting with new hairstyles, Beckham seemingly discovered hair dye in and decided to go for a platinum blonde look with some shaggy, spiky hair and a slight goatee.
Long Hair with Headband
The shaggy, boy-band hair was apparently still not long enough for Beckham’s style because a year later he went with ear-length locks. Though he seemed to let the platinum blonde fade out naturally, there were still some golden strands intermixed in his otherwise light brown color. He also sported a tight headband to keep his tresses pushed back on the field.
Beckham and Cornrows?
One of his most famous, cringe-worthy styles to date was Beckham’s braided cornrows. Beckham only had them for a short period of time, thankfully, and later admitted he may have been slightly tipsy when he decided on the outrageous look.
David Beckham’s Man Bun
Next was the famous man bun. Beckham rocked the man bun hairstyle before hipsters and trendy millennials made the style more mainstream these last few years. Due to the flexibility of his long hair, Beckham would sometimes sport a traditional top knot hairstyle, which differs from today’s top knot trend that features a high fade.
The Shaggy Hairstyle
After this, Beckham went with a shorter haircut and shaggy hairstyle. However, the shaggy, unshaped hair on top must not have been easy or low-maintenance enough.
Buzz Cut and Full Beard
Shortly thereafter, Beckham went very short with a sleek buzz cut and full beard. Seemingly going for the tough guy look, it seems the haircut suited him well as it was his second time around donning the buzzed look.
Unkempt, Long Hair
Towards the end of his career, even his hair started looking a little worn out: a mullet in the back, a bit of a quiff in the front, and disheveled, messy hair in the middle.
Short Sides with Long Top
Finally, with the end of Beckham’s soccer career also came the end of his crazy hairstyles. In 2013, he opted for a tidy, retro-style short haircut with an edgy side part and a refined quiff in the front.
