I'll admit it. I care a lot about my hair. When I am getting ready to go, the one part of me that must leave my home perfect is my hair. Some see this as odd, others low-key wish they could have hair like me.
What inspired me to try so hard with my hair were the amazing hairstyles I constantly saw when watching European and international soccer games. In many sports, athletes do not put too much effort into the way they look on the field. However, this is completely different with soccer, as men try to look their best when they head out on the pitch. The men in these games are without a doubt the greatest hair trendsetters in the world. And so, without further ado, here are the top 10 best soccer player haircuts.

Alderweireld has become one of the most promising center backs in the English Premier League. And a great defender must present himself with a great hairstyle.
9. Andrea Pirlo: Long Wavy Hair 2005-Present
"The Architect" has rocked this flow for as long as we can all remember. Yet, he still makes it look awesome.
8. Mario Balotelli: Crazy Liverpool FC Head Design 2014
This must have taken a long time.7. Neymar Jr.: World Cup Frosted Tips 2014
While the Brazilian star constantly changes his hairstyle, this is probably his best one.
6. Paul Pogba: Frosted Mohawk with Frosted Racing Stripes 2014

A promising young American soccer star must find a way to get European club scouts to notice him. Yedlin did it with his extremely fast pace and his extremely meticulous hairstyle.
4. Cristiano Ronaldo: Zig-Zag World Cup Haircut 2014
This hairstyle became a huge trend amongst early and late teens for a few months after Cristiano boasted this at the World Cup. What makes this hairstyle even better is that Ronaldo sported the cut in honor of a young fan who had a scar on the side of his head from surgery to remove a brain tumor.
3. David Beckham: Slicked-Back Hair 2012-2013
David Beckham has had many great hairstyles throughout his career, but this hairstyle he sported in 2012-2013 has got to be his best.
2. Marco Reus: Dirty-Blonde Comb-Over 2013-Present
No one can rock a dirty-blonde comb-over better than the German wizard, Marco Reus. With the amount of goals he sets up, it is only fitting that he can set trends like this.
1. Gareth Bale: Comb-Over Hairstyle Real Madrid CF and Tottenham Hotspur FC 2013
Without a doubt, Gareth Bale tops this list with this disconnected comb-over hairstyle that still remains a trend today.
Overall, all of these footballers probably spend more time on their hair than even I do. But, as you can see, their meticulousness has clearly paid off.
