Who Does David Beckham's Hair? Is It By Committee?

Behind every PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive is a solid hairstylist! Or in some cases, make that hairstylists. Who is PEOPLE Sexiest Man Alive David Beckham's hairstylist? Well, the answer is not so obvious. It seems the footballer doesn't have a single or consistent stylist and that he has employed multiple people to maintain his coif over time.

Becks' famously fabulous hair appears to be done by committee and he likes swapping stylists.

Or maybe he isn't into sharing the details about his secret weapon aka the stylist who designs his strands. What we do know, definitively, is that David Beckham's hair evolution is something else and inspires tons of follicle envy.

His 2002 mini mohawk is one of Beckham's most famous 'dos and that coif is credited to hairstylist Adee Phalen. Phalen, who is heavily tattooed, just like his most famous former client, admitted that the soccer player's wife Victoria Beckham asked him to come aboard as Becks' hairdresser in the early aughts. He eventually moved on.
