And it doesn't come cheap.

Richards, 34, admitted he gets a trim three times a week during the season when he regularly works as a pundit for the likes of Sky, BBC and CBS.

Appearing alongside each other on CBS on Tuesday, a shocked Henry exclaimed "What?" after learning how often Richards had his hair cut.

Presenter Kate Abdo revealed Richards even had flown his own barber out to the World Cup so he could have regular trims.

Richards then said "I've got to look fly" before being asked how much his trims cost him.

And he replied: "What does my barber cost? £200 a time yes.

"When I say the most, like I'll get a trim tomorrow for the Champions League and I'm working the weekend so I'll get a trim.

"I did it today. I've got to get a sharpen up tomorrow."

Arsenal legend Henry couldn't quite believe what he was hearing.

The 45-year-old looked in utter disbelief as Richards defended himself.

Fellow pundit Jamie Carragher was equally as shocked, as Henry asked: "Micah what's the purpose? Why?"

Henry then hilariously trolled the 13-cap England man by saying: "You said you need to look fly... not like one."

Richards insisted he doesn't get his haircut three times a week all year round, but when they worked out the numbers he said: "Let's do 40 [weeks]".

Three haircuts a week, at £200 each time, for 40 weeks, works out at a staggering £24,000-a-year.

But the former right-back does pay for the trims himself.

When asked by Carragher, Richards revealed the money comes out of his own pocket, although he joked: "I should be putting it through expenses shouldn't I?"

Even when presenter Abdo wrapped up the segment, Henry continued to look at Richards disbelievingly while saying: "Three times a week?"
