Haircut "British" - this is the version of a man's hairstyle, which if it goes out of fashion, then not for long. She has already become a classic, and the famous haircut has been loved by different generations of men: from little boys to people of venerable age. The second name of the "British" is "undercut", another variation is "quiff". This haircut has a lot in common with the "Canadian", but there are still significant differences.

A bit of history

Pompadour, mohawk and flattop are all direct relatives of the "British". The main feature of the famous hairstyle lies in the straight hair protrusion that hangs in the front. The bangs are laid on one side or combed back.

This trendy haircut appeared during the period of the representatives of the Teddy Boys movement, in the post-war period.

The war is over, the years go by, but there are no significant changes in society and no recognition of fearless values, true freedom and the desire to say goodbye to sorrow and fears. Cheerful and daring rock'n'roll emerges from the spirit of resistance.

James Dean, Elvis Presley, Cliff Richard - all these are living symbols of the era, who best illustrated fashion rebellion.

The famous haircut became part of the look of the dudes - a man who wore defiantly tight trousers, a long jacket and invariably colorful shirts. And then the world was seized by "Beatlemania" and men began to grow their hair. However, when the 80s came, a new round of popularity of the "British" gave rise to another understanding of the old haircut.

And now, in the ten years of the XXI century, the "British" is back in fashion, only now men are increasingly combining her with a beard. And even the most conservative guys run the risk of trying a slightly defiant hairstyle, because it demonstrates that the male sex also strives for attractiveness and is ready to impress, sparing no time for styling.

Peculiarities

If you have a square or round type of face, this haircut will definitely benefit from the features of your appearance. But the faces of a more regular (oval) shape are also great for a British woman. If the oval of the face is elongated, the pros will advise the option with bangs - to balance the facial features. The haircut will also transform the appearance of guys with a low forehead, as it masks visible imperfections due to the voluminous top.

The side parting, which is the constant accent of the haircut, will make the image of a man stylish and elegant.

But at the same time, a British haircut is not the case when, after going to the hairdresser, a man does not have to pay attention to his hair. Against, hairstyle requires styling, styled and well-groomed bouffant, even parting... This style and carelessness of styling do not go together in any way.
