Changing the “English” haircut into sunna hair

Question

Question: Is there anything objectionable in changing the “English” haircut into sunna hair?

Answer

It is better that the English haircut be shaved off and that the hair then be kept in accordance with the sunna, so that the change is complete; although it is also correct without shaving.
