Varieties of British male haircuts
Depending on the character of a man and his lifestyle, it is possible to choose a hairstyle that will meet all his needs and will not require special efforts.

The long part of the haircut is about 50 mm, usually styled on the side. The lines are straight, equal horizontally, the hair strands are not texturized.

Military
Such a haircut is characterized by a graduated straightness of straight lines without texturizing. This style of the haircut only suitable for owners of straight hair.

This kind of the haircut is ideal for creative people who will be able to fantasize and express their personality through an unusual style.
Which type of face does the British haircut suit?
Such a haircut can be safely called universal. It is not only suitable for different types of face, but will also emphasize your individuality. For a heart-shaped, oval or triangular shape of the face the haircut will look absolutely different, probably this is the secret of its popularity.
Hair types
Ideal for the "British" are thick hair. Guys with thin hair can also do this haircut, but you need to remember that you will have to style it with a hair dryer and styler every day.
For curly hair this hairstyle is also suitable, in addition, it will create an image of nonchalance and romanticism.
Hair cutting technique
You will need:
Water sprayer
Scissors
Comb
Hair clips
Electric hair clipper with 60 and 30 mm attachments
Texturizing scissors
Razor
Separate the parietal part of hair, which should remain long, and fix it with a clip on the top of the head.
Take a hair clipper with 60 mm attachment and start cutting.
Work the hair clipper smoothly from bottom to top without pulling it away or turning it.
If you make only straight movements, it will create an even cut. In this way remove the hair around the entire circumference, then you will get a ‘cap’ or transition part of the hair.
Now it is time to use 30 mm attachment, which will create a smooth transition to the ‘cap’, but you need to work a little differently. At the very beginning, press the machine against your head, and then abruptly pull the machine away at the distance you planned (it is usually around 2 fingers above your ears. Do not be tied to the distance of 2 fingers from the level of the ear, take it as a reference point, but choose a transition that will look the most organic, consider the shape of the head, then you will get a smoother transition, and you will avoid a sharp edge between levels.
It is also safer to press the ear down so that you don't accidentally nick it while cutting.
Tip:
If there is a dimple at the back of the head, you should lower your shoulders and tilt your head forward, then this area will be level, and you will be able to process it better.
After that, take a razor and remove the excess hairs along the contour of the hairstyle.
Gradient
Now you need to make a smooth transition to the hairline, which we called a ‘cap’.
Grab small strands with two fingers. The palm is in the position above the head, and the middle and index fingers look down, run your fingers to the ends of the strand and cut the uneven corners, so you will create a natural gradient.
Next, use a pair of texturizing scissors on the ends. For this, you will also need a comb. Work your way up from the bottom and texturize only the hair ends. Work carefully with the scissors, they can cut off quite a large piece of strand.
The long part of the hair
Remove the clip and lightly wet the fringe with water. In order to trim this part, comb it forward and divide it with parallel partings of about 2 cm, alternately lifting them up. You need to decide on the length and cut all strands, comparing them with the first one.
How to determine the length of the long part?
Try styling your long section back and side, then you will see what length works best for you.
Once you've achieved the perfect length, re-gather the long section with a clip and see if there are any short hairs left above your forehead.
If there are short hairs, separate them from the main part, usually about 1 cm. Then cut them off with a clipper to create an even cut.
Now let's go again to the long part, take texturizing scissors and process neatly the ends to make the hairstyle look more lively. Separate the strands and texturize the ends as you did with the transition piece.
