At one point during the height of his career, he was considered to be the most complete center forward striker in all of Europe, capable of instilling fear in every opponent goalkeeper out there.

Or that he is a certified style icon given the large variety of Fernando Torres haircuts and hairstyles available?

2. Pompadour and Spikes

3. The Blonde Comb Over
As noted above, Fernando Torres has been a blonde most of his life. Here he is with a shade of bottle blonde which he wears proudly in combination with a sleek black suit and deep blue tie. He does cut a dashing figure off the pitch, doesn’t he?

Here is Fernando embracing his daughter on the pitch after the 2012 UEFA Championship. At that time, he was sporting a medium haircut with blonde highlights. We’re sorry, but we’re definitely giving the ‘cutie of the year award to his little girl on this one!
8. The Long Fernando Torres Haircuts
El Nino had an infamous career at Chelsea Football Club. He spent three and a half years there. Afterward, the club spent a whopping $50 million to buy him. However, he never seemed to give Stamford Bridge their money’s worth, not being able to do his job properly and scoring goals.
9. Highlights and Spikes
He surely put his blonde locks to good use. Here’s a simple haircut from the 2000s that we all remember wearing at some point. We used to comb our hair to one side and then use some hair gel to create messy spikes.

11. The Fernando Torres Haircuts with Bangs

His love for hairstyling hasn’t left him even in more modern times. Even if he has now ditched the bleached hair that made him so famous in his younger years, he still loves a good primping. Here he is with a slick back and an undercut.
13. Little Fernando Torres Haircuts
We can’t actually decide what’s cuter in this picture – his haircut or his freckles. The haircut is a typical one for a boy his age at that time. Medium-long with a parting down the middle and long bangs swept to either side of the face.
14. The Fauxhawk
When you’re this much into hairstyling, you have to get a fauxhawk. It seems like every soccer player who aspired to be someone got a hawk so why not El Nino? He went for a wet look by using lots and lots of hair gel.
15. The Pompadour Fernando Torres Hairstyles
Have you ever wondered what the pompadour would look like as a Fernando Torres haircut? Wonder no more. We dare to say it may not be his best choice as he already has a very long and angular face and all this haircut does is pull at it even more.
16. The Layered Fernando Torres Haircuts
We love it when he wears his natural color or one that resembles it closely. This is a mahogany brown with a layered side and a shaved one. The darker color makes him look a bit more mature, even though his nickname is still El Nino.
17. The Medium Bronde Fernando Torres Haircuts
He also sported colors that are in between his favorite two, such as this bronde. Just as the name suggests, the bronde trend is a combination between brown and blonde which can have more blonde or brown, depending on your preferences.

19. The Medium Parted Fernando Torres Hairstyles
We are in love with this one. The haircut is simple enough, being a shaggy medium with a side part. But the color is fantastic. It has a whole plethora of highlights and lowlights and everywhere you look it seems like you’ll discover more of them.

Older means wiser, right? You can clearly see that El Nino has left his spectacular youth behind now and has become the virtuous father of three of his dreams. He has also returned to play for his boyhood football club, Atletico Madrid.
23. The Dark Honey Fernando Torres Haircuts
It seems as though this stellar soccer player, as precise as he was on the pitch, he never seemed to be able to make up his mind between brown and blonde. Therefore, he sometimes hesitated with intermediary colors, such as this dark honey shade.
24. The Gelled Slick
The internet gave a collective sigh when Zayn Malik’s strand of hair incident happened with many girls saying they loved that single strand of hair more than they loved the singer himself. But before that, there was Fernando Torres and his torrid, gelled strands. Ladies?
25. The Gentleman Fernando Torres Haircut
If James Bond were a soccer player and he was playing undercover for one of the most famous teams in the world, this is what he would look like. Who even has hair that perfect when in full action, running down a pitch trying to balance a ball with his feet? Who?

28. Better Mohawks
As time went by and he got better and better on the pitch, so did his mohawks. He started out slowly with timid approaches to gelled fauxhawks until he landed this beautiful version of the punk hairstyle staple.
29. The Hard Part
A hard part is similar in shape to a natural parting of your hairline. The difference is that it has to be a little more accentuated than a traditional one. Therefore, a stylist or a barber has to give it to you with a razor.
30. The Platinum Fernando Torres Haircut
El Nino even took his love for blonde hair a step further when he bleached it platinum. He looked great, being really tanned and already sporting a ton of tattoos. We adored the hipster vibes we got off the soccer pitch whenever he was around.
31. The Medium Bangs
He also had a somewhat brief love affair with bangs. This is the soccer player with medium bangs which, alongside his shaggy haircut and mass of freckles make him look like a real teenager. Although, as you can see from the two tattoos he has on his arms, he already had two of his children. The tattoos bear their names.
32. Layers of Blonde

El Nino also had a phase where he dressed and styled himself as the eighth member of NSync. Why the eight? You know, after the backup and the backup’s backup and the guy who brings the coffees, then there’s him. Just kidding. He looks flawless, as usual.
37. The Supermodel Fernando Torres Haircut
Of course, he also played supermodel from time to time simply because he can. When you look that good why wouldn’t you agree to model for different publications or brands? You’re a top of the league athlete who looks like a blonde Greek god. You go, Fernando!
38. The Classic Fernando Torres Haircut

43. The Brunette Fernando Torres Haircut
At the end of 2017, Fernando went back to Chelsea and Stamford Bridge for the first time in seven years after he had left the club.

44. Long, Blonde Side Bangs
Fernando’s love affair with 2000s hairstyles continued. This is a blonde boy-band type of haircut with a glossy finish and long side bangs. It resembles the emo swoop but has less goth to it.
45. Blonde Ombre
He even dabbed a bit in the ombre trend. Evidently, he wasn’t able to switch from blonde to brown hair in one, clean motion. He needed to transition. And we completely understand. This is a man who dyed his hair blonde for most of his adult life. Therefore, when he finally said goodbye to blonde he did it in stages with these little blonde ombre bangs.
