David Beckham: Buzz Cut
He’s the man who has spawned a gazillion hair trends – but David Beckham’s buzz cut is his most pared-back look yet.
MFH says
David Beckham’s buzz cut might not be one of MFH’s fave looks on him but it’s a great way to get your barnet back to square one.
This enables your hair to grow back more healthily – especially if you’re as fond of experimenting with colour, products and styling as DB is.
Becks has had a buzz cut in the past, of course, but it was generally when he was playing football, so it had a practical purpose.
And it has been a little bit longer the previous times he’s done it.
Originally he shared this new look on social media via a selfie, saying “Nothing much changes, got bored of my hair chop it off” [sic]
And his son Romeo used his Dad’s buzz as inspo, as he got his cut the same way around the same time.
Well, as they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery etc etc…
