    This from David and Victoria Beckham, the couple with the most impressive back catalogue of hair styles...

    David and Victoria Beckham must have trialled every hairstyle imaginable between them - remember his Alice band and cornrows, or her famous Pob? But, David’s revealed, the couple have never yet cut four year-old Harper’s hair.

    ‘About a year ago, my wife said, ‘Maybe we should cut Harper’s hair,’’ he told Yahoo! when asked whether he ever styles his daughter’s hair in the morning. ‘And I was like, ‘No! We need to grow it. Do. Not. Touch.’’

    ‘Since she was born, we haven’t cut it. That’s why it’s pretty much down to her knees. I had to [save her hair]. It’s just so good, isn’t it?’

    So fans hoping that little Harper is a beauty trendsetter in the making may have to wait a few more years before she starts chopping and changing her look, but, in the mean time, Miss Beckham’s still giving us plenty of adorable up-dos (we love the mini-huns) to coo over.

    David also revealed in the interview that he has given sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz a buzz cut or two over the years, after his mum, who was once a hairdresser, taught him how to use the clippers.

    ‘I do cut my sons’ hair from time-to-time. When they have a buzz cut, I do it. If I have to use scissors, the boys know not to ask—she never taught me how to do that.’

    So now we know. If you want hair style advice, speak to Mr Beckham. But for the actual chop, beware. He's really just like anyone else's dad wielding shears...
