Short Front and Sides

I love this fun style on David Beckham --it's edgy and aggressive and looks a bit like he may have done it himself. The hair is cut short on the sides but left a little longer in back. On top, the front hairline is tapered short and a bit more length is left at the crown of the head.

Short Back and Sides

This is my favorite of David Beckham's looks. The hair is cut with a number two blade high up the sides and back of the head. The back is left in a natural taper, while the top is cut to add texture and create a slightly square shape.

While I'm not a big fan of the mullet, I do like this fun style on David Beckham. For this style, David's hair is cut in long layers all over the head, with the sides taken just a bit shorter. Styling paste adds low-shine texture and separation.

This style from David Beckham is razor cut in long layers to give the ends a deconstructed look. The hair is bleached and grown out a bit, revealing dark roots.
