David Beckham frequently changed his hairstyle over the years in order to appeal to more people and gain more fame and popularity in the media. Some of his hairstyles included long hair slicked back, blond hair, a mini-mohawk, and cornrows. While many thought he did this to look good and be seen as attractive, Beckham stated he simply wore his hair how he wanted without thinking about how others would perceive it. His changing looks helped lead to greater celebrity and opportunities to do advertisements as a model.
