Fernando José Torres Sanz, better known as Fernando Torres or simply by his nickname El Nino is a force to be reckoned with on the soccer pitch. 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. But did you know that he actually started his career as a goalkeeper himself? Or that he spent an infamous three and a half years at Chelsea? Or that he is a certified style icon given the many hairstyles he’s had? Here are 45 Fernando Torres haircut ideas.
1. The Brown Comb Over
As you are about to see in this article, this famous soccer player went through an entire plethora of hairstyles.

2. Pompadour and Spikes
Here’s a throwback pic of a Fernando Torres haircut. He was in his teens, but he had already been playing soccer for many years, having started at the tender age of five. He used to wear his hair blonde in a high pompadour with 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?

5. The Boyish Fernando Torres Haircut
He also went for simpler haircuts during his career like this straightforward boyish haircut which makes him look like he was in high school. He also went for what we presume is his natural hair color, which is a dark brown.
6. The Buzz Cut
The buzz cut originated in the military, where soldiers used to wear it for convenience reasons. However, it soon made its way to popular culture and civilian life. Being a true soldier on the field, Fernando adopted it as well.
7. The Medium Blonde Fernando Torres
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 Haircut
El Nino had an infamous career at Chelsea Football Club. He spent three and a half years there, after 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.
10. The Short and Shaggy Mullet
This list of Fernando Torres haircut styles would not have been complete without talking about his mullet. Yes, that’s right. He actually sported a mullet for a while! If you want more ideas for haircuts that are all business in the front and party in the back, here’s a whole article on mullets.
11. The Fernando Torres Haircut with Bangs
He wasn’t shy of bangs either, donning this teenager haircut from the 2000s. It’s reminiscent of a bowl hairstyle with super long bangs that have to be neatly arranged in strands one by one on your forehead.
12. The Undercut
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 Haircut
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
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 Haircut
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 Haircut
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 Haircut
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.

22. Brunette Short Hairstyles
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 Haircut
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?

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
