Goin to the beaches for the summer soon and wanted to pop a little bit of style :P Its obviously long on top, is it cut half the size underneath or how is it done? Whats the name of this style? Thinkin of trying somethin similar to this and I feel I could pull it off, and I am heading in for a trim in the next couple days so I wanted some tips.
It just looks like a kinda double-half-tail. There's a tail high up, and another about halfway down the back. I'd be interested in seeing how this one looks on someone other than David Beckham, to see if it's viable.
Without seeing the back, I can't be sure, but my guess is that it is all not short. A high 1/3 up that you can see, a mid/low height 1/3 up across the back, with a 1/3 or so of underlayer left down.
And lots of product.
Actually trims aren't really necessary for this style, as it was a style devised for Becks during his awkward growing out phase. This style is essentially a "double half tail". Which the other two posters have already described.
For this style to work you need the top to be pretty long, your bangs should reach to your mouth and the rest of the length on top should be relative to that. The neckline should be T-shirt Collar Length or longer. The rest of the hair should be layered between these two guides.
You'll need a load of gel or wax to slick back the sides, unless you leave them the same length as the back, as they have to reach all the way around to the back of your head. If your hair isn't long enough to cut back to this length, then my advice would be not to get a trim at all and just just loads of gunk to achieve the style with the hair you have.

Hey, are those chains PLATINUM?!? I doubt that there's actually a name for that look, just, "The ponytail at the crown", I would reckon, a cool summery way to tie the hair up, one that I have done on many an occasion. Good luck w/ yr trim but DO keep it growin' afterwards.
Yrs for longhaired camaraderie,
