The Caesar haircut is a men’s haircut with a horizontally-cut short fringe styled forward. Named after the historically famous Roman Emperor Julius Caesar, it is sometimes referred to as a French crop.

Men who experienced early-onset baldness or hair thinning wore the traditional Caesar cut. Although, in the modern world, this cut can be seen infused with various styles, shapes, and textures. It’s still recommended for guys who have thin hair, especially now that contemporary versions of this cut are styled to be more textured and faded.

This emperor French crop cut needs no touch-ups and only a little maintenance and styling. No wonder why leading Hollywood movie actors Zac Efron, George Clooney, and Russell Crowe have been sporting this classic hairstyle on and off the set!

#1: Thick and Fluffy Caesar Cut

The thick and fluffy Caesar cut is a modern twist on the classic hairstyle, adding more volume and texture to the look. Ideal for men with thicker hair, this haircut features a longer length on top and shorter sides, creating a stylish contrast. The cut suits various face shapes and hair types, enhancing natural waves and curls in thick hair. To maintain this hairstyle, get a haircut every 2-4 weeks to keep the hair neat on the sides and texture the top to prevent it from becoming too heavy.

#4: Caesar Cut with Sharp-Lined Fringe

The blunt crop, which has been called many names, is commonly known as a Caesar cut with a sharp-lined fringe. If you have a strong hairline, this style will work for you, and you will have no problems styling it. Ask your barber for product advice. I highly recommend sea salt spray. It gives a strong hold and also leaves you with a natural finish.

Edgar haircuts, which are named after a celebrity, have recently gained popularity. Barbers can benefit by staying in tune with these trends. An Edgar haircut with a fade holds a shape similar to a blunt crop. Edgar haircuts are especially complementary to darker hair because they allow for a seamless transition from a good fade into the top.

A Caesar cut fade is an excellent choice for any guy with an active lifestyle. Ideal for young adults, Cesar cut fades give you a mid-to-high bald fade on the sides and a heavily textured top. Heavily texturizing the top gives you the ability to have that edgy look when styling your top hair.

#15: Sharp Caesar with Blunt Fringe

The Caesar with blunt fringe is your typical Caesar with a slight difference. A clean skin fade completes the side and, on top, a nicely textured style. What separates this Caeser cut is the fringe area that is sharply done straight across the forehead giving a clean, sharp hairline.

#16: French Cropped Style

A French cropped style is a great short haircut. It features a sharp fade on the sides, transitioning smoothly to a texturized top. Overly texturizing can leave gaps in your hair and completely ruin your haircut, so find a barber familiar with this type of cut.

#17: Clean Caesar with Low Fade

A Caesar haircut with a low fade is arguably the cleanest haircut you can get. It features an all-even length on top and along the partial ridge and a skin-tight low fade placed right under the temple area, fading evenly around the head.

#18: Simple Buzz Cut and Caesar Cut

A buzz cut and Caesar are best when complemented with a sharp line. Typically an even-length haircut will do wonders. You can always taper the side to transform this simple style into an eye-catching look.

#19: Straight Fringe on Caesar with Modern Fade

Straight-cut bangs on a Caesar cut are ideal for giving a longer face shape the illusion of a shorter forehead. The fringe may be too much for you, but the mid fade on the sides will even it all out, resulting in a clean cut.

#27: Awesome Long Textured Caesar

To have this long Caesar hairstyle means you like looking shaggy and clean at the same time. What’s great about it will have to be that it’s nearly effortless in styling, depending on the kind of texture your hair has.

#28: Messy Caesar for Medium to Long-Length Hair

This messy Caesar haircut creates the best result on medium to long hair length. The coolest part about this haircut is how easy it is to do at home. It looks visually amazing with a nice clean skin fade shape through the sides, left nice and heavy through the recession line so that those curls just sit down into the skin fade nice and effortlessly. The reason why the fringe is left nice and long is to complement the face shape. It would have made the face look long if I had cut it short.

#29: Men’s Ivy League Caesar

This haircut and Ivy League cut combo is common. A lot of guys these days love the skin fades.  Use a hairdryer to push your hair over to the side. Using a comb to separate the part and the top of your hair also helps and keeps this haircut looking somewhat fresh.
