David Beckham hairstyles get their
name from former English soccer team captain, David Beckham; who in his
heyday, came to be as much loved for his sense of style (dress-wise and
accessory-wise) as for his football prowess, which was also remarkable.
For
the most part, Beckham hairstyles are characterized by long hair, which
has for long been David Beckham's trademark - often making him really
stand out in a field of twenty-two players. Besides being long, the hair
that makes up these David Beckham hairstyles has to be worked into some
sexy style, to 'complete the look.'
While
few men would have dared to don them when they first came up, perhaps
for fear of having their sexual orientation being doubted, we have in
recent years seen more and more men adopting the Beckham hairstyles.
This is attributable to a number of factors. One is the increased
'self-confidence' levels in general population: where people are
nowadays much less concerned about what others think about them. If a
man knows donning a David Beckham look will make him feel good, he just
goes ahead to get it - with a 'so-what' attitude, regarding those who
raise eyebrows about the style. It is his hair, after all. Then there is
the rise of the metro-sexual man, a man who, while strongly masculine
and 'straight' is also very much in touch with his 'feminine side' - as
another factor behind the rise of Beckham hairstyles, which are what
would be traditionally considered 'feminine looking.' As mentioned, the
metro-sexual man is in touch with his 'feminine side' and just as women
have in recent years been adopting masculine things that make them feel
good, the metro-sexual man is also ready to adopt some feminine things
that make him feel good; with no apologies whatsoever for that.
Besides
these factors, however, there are a number of 'stand-alone' reasons
which make David Beckham hairstyles worth considering for a man.
First
is the unapologetic sexy look they confer to their wearer, as mentioned
earlier. If you want to come across as a sexy man (who has no apologies
to make for being that sexy), then the thing to do would be to acquire a
David Beckham look- and you pass the message along clearly, especially
to the ladies who find a man who has the courage to wear such a
'distinctive' hairstyle quite irresistible.
Second
is the fact that in spite of their great looks, Beckham hairstyles are
really not too expensive or labor-intensive in their maintenance. The
distinctive look they come with is acquired through clever use of
styling techniques (and quite easy ones at that), rather than expensive
accessorizing, as in other hairstyles of their stature.
Third
is the fact that in spite of being hairstyles made from long hair,
Beckham hairstyles are quite elegant: so that worn with a suit and a
tie, they would make a reasonably elegant presentation in a formal
professional or business setting. In other words, we find in David
Beckham hairstyles a way of styling hair that is both sexy and that
passes the elegance test as well.
