David-Beckham Side Sweep

 Funkyhead

When you’ve modeled for the likes of Armani, Adidas, Belstaff, and H&M, pulling off risky hairstyles is probably not too hard. But more than a pretty face, David Beckham is a true style trendsetter who is always ahead of the curve. Over the years, Beckham  has popularized the buzz cut, shaggy hair with highlights, and mohawks, in addition to a plethora of other styles (remember those Alice bands?).

We especially dig his current look, which is a side part/quiff hybrid called a side sweep. The side sweep originated with American college boys in the 1950s, and has recently been revived by retro TV shows like Mad Men.

True to Beckham being, well, Beckham, he ups the ante on this timeless look with high-shine pomade or razored sides.

We’re loving his mature look – what do you think?

To Get David Beckham’s Side Sweep Haircut:

“The most important thing to remember is that this cut must be perfectly square through the sides, beautifully graduated and expertly combed.”
