Short spikes in 2008:
Virat has been following the trend right from his first appearance when the world witnessed Kohli's magic as a 19 year-old-teenager.
At that he used to keep short spikes with equal hair length on the sides, keeping them uncombed. The spikes were in fashion since the beginning of 2000's.
Kohli now entered the international scene and represented India in the limited overs format where he soon made his mark scoring vital runs for the team.
For a more clean and matured look,he carried the short spikes with flattened and combed sides.

Mohawk in 2011:
After sporting the spike look for a long time, Kohli finally gave a shot at experimenting with his hair. The change came in the form of the mohawk which gave him a fresh look and quite suited his face.
Natural texture with a stubble in 2012:
2012 brought Kohli into limelight as he made wonders with the bat. First scoring his maiden Test ton against the Aussies, then a magnificent Asia Cup where he struck his career best ODI score of 183 against Pakistan.
He once again changed his style appeal with turning to his normal textured hair having a trimmed beard.

This style became quite popular amongst the youngsters with people trying to match King Kohli's hairdo.
High fade style with trimmed boxed beard in 2014:

2016 was the year of Kohli with a record breaking 4 centuries in an IPL season finishing the tournament with 973 runs. He even scored a lot of runs in the international matches with a Test average of close to 76 that year.
This was the year where he brought the full thick beard into trend which became a sensation amongst all age groups of men. He carried a well shaped beard chiseled at the jaw which gave him a great jawline.
