French Crop

Short • Low Maintenance

A French crop is a short men's haircut with the top brushed forward into a blunt fringe cut in one straight line, over faded sides. It is neater than a textured crop, whose fringe is choppy. It is also called a Caesar cut, and it takes under two minutes to style.

The French crop is defined by its fringe: the top is brushed forward and cut straight across in one clean line above the eyebrows. The sides are faded short, so the fringe is the only line on the head. The top stays short and fairly smooth, which makes it one of the quickest cuts to style. The fringe line softens after three to four weeks.

Who suits a French Crop?

  • Straight or slightly wavy hair, fine or thick
  • A receding hairline at the corners, which the fringe covers
  • Round faces. The short faded sides keep width off the cheeks, and the straight fringe line adds an angle to a soft outline.
  • Long faces. The fringe covers part of the forehead, so a long face looks shorter.
