According to Karen Andrea, women are not the only ones saying goodbye to longer locks this summer. "The Brit Crop Top" is one of the hottest looks for her male clients at Di Rosa Haircare, Long Island, NY, where she works as a stylist.  

Andrea says that this cut is perfect for men with thick hair, but is ideal for men with thinner hair as it makes the hair look fuller.

“The spiky front is what sets this style apart," she says. "Dry hair first with a vent brush or fingers for a more controlled finish and then use a dime size of product while roughing the hair up towards the front hairline."

Here she shares the HOW TO:

Step 1: Section hair in a horseshoe section keeping it away from the rest of the hair using the BabylissPro Volare Ferrari hair clipper. 

Step 2: Using a #5 guard, buzz in vertical strokes making sure not to pass the horse shoe section and always work against the grain to achieve an even cut.

Step 3: Switching to a #3 guard, start your initial guideline from the nape to the temple and then blend and go back to erase any uneven lines with a #4 guard. 

Step 4: Working in the horseshoe section, trim hair with scissors using a scissor over comb method to blend top section.

Step 5: Shape and clean up side burns and neckline.

Step 6: Style with KMS California HAIR PLAY Messing Creme.
