Speaking to Yahoo! Style, he explained: 'About a year ago, my wife said, "Maybe we should cut Harper's hair." 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.'

David, whose mother Sandra was a hairdresser, also revealed that he sometimes tests his own skills by giving his three sons home buzz cuts, but he wouldn't dare go near the scissors.

Let your munchkins glisten in gold Chloe flats

It only makes sense Harper Beckham follows her fashionista mommy's footsteps, even if she is daddy's little girl.

She may only be four-years-old but she's already rocked more designer labels then most people do in their lifetime.

The pretty little lady stepped out with papa Beckham wearing an adorable ensemble consisting of a white sweater, a gray print skater skirt, pale pink tights and some fashionable gold flats.

Harper's flats aren't just any flat, they're by top designer Chloe and cost a hefty $275. The good news is you can get Harper's flats by clicking over to Saks Fifth Avenue, the bad news is you'll have $275 less in your wallet because you spent it on toddlers shoes. #lol
