Lionel Andres Messi has already managed to become a legendary football player, although he is only 28 years old. He became known as the striker of the Spanish “Barcelona”, but since 2011 the player is the captain of the Argentine national team. Messi has won four Champions League, seven titles, three national cups of Spain and many other awards. In 2005 and 2007-2013 he was recognized as the best player of the year, and in 2014 he broke the record for the number of goals scored for the national team, which justifies his title as the most expensive football player in the world. But the main subject of discussion last year was Messi's hairstyle, and not his athletic achievements.
early years
Leo Messi's football career began when he was just 13 years old. At this time, one of the shareholders of Barcelona found out about him. In 2000, Leo became part of the team. He was so impressed with Reshak that he persuaded the club’s board of directors to pay not only for the young talent in Spain, but also for his entire family. In addition, Barcelona paid for the expensive hormonal treatment of a new football player, which is about 90 thousand euros every year. In the first game, Messi scored 5 goals, and for the whole season - about 37. Gradually, from a promising “golden boy” he turned into the most successful player.
Messi's first hairstyle
Leo may not be as fashionable as Cristiano Ronaldo, but he experimented quite a lot with his hair. Messi's very first hairstyle looked a bit hipster. He had long hair, at games he sometimes used a bandage to remove it from his face. It was precisely this Messi hairstyle that was remembered by those who saw his hat-trick in the game with Real Madrid.
Image change
A few years after his debut, Messi cut his hair, leaving his hair of medium length. Journalists wrote that he looks more like a double agent than a football player. Lionel Messi's next hairstyle included bangs and even shorter hair. Gradually, he became what we know him now. Over time, Messi's hairstyle became even shorter. At the same time, he shocked the audience several times with Iroquois or styling in the style of Ronaldo.
New image
Last year, Messi appeared in training with a new haircut. His head was shaved on the sides and back. Ahead, he combed his hair up, as was fashionable in the 60s of the last century. Messi's new hairstyle sparked lively discussions with his teammates. And the fans compared her with the haircut of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and began to lay out collages from photographs of the dictator and the football player. Perhaps it was the politician’s governance style that inspired the athlete’s stylist for such a change of image. And this is not the first scandal over a hairstyle in Messi's career. Even Pele noted that although the captain of the Argentine national team is a fantastic player, he doesn’t have a haircut. Messi has enough problems without this: he was recently accused of tax evasion.
How to make such a haircut?
If Messi is your favorite football player, then most likely you had the idea of ​​becoming like him. The easiest way is to bring a photo of the athlete's haircut to the hairdresser. But you can do it yourself. To do this, you first need to shave the hair on the temples and the back of the head with the help of a machine. The remaining elongated strands are easy to lay up, creating something like a mohawk. It turns out a kind of half-box, such a haircut is used by many athletes. When laying for special occasions, it is important to use strong fixatives or wax. But it is important not to overdo it with these funds, otherwise the effect will be oily and unwashed hair. In any case, simplicity in execution and styling makes it one of the most desirable for athletes and just busy men.
