The Caesar haircut is a men’s haircut that has a horizontally-cut short fringe styled forward. Named after the historically famous Roman Emperor Julius Caesar, its sometimes referred to as a French crop, too.
The traditional Caesar cut was worn by men who experienced early-onset baldness or hair thinning. 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.
No touch-ups and only a little maintenance and styling are needed for this emperor French crop. 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!

Mod Caesar Style
This Caesar haircut is a classic that’s always on the rise.

For men who have wavy or curly hair, this long Caesar haircut would be perfect because it’s very hard to style if you try to do something else. With the crop, you can just run over your hair with some paste or matte product to keep it down. If needed, you can leave a little more hair at the crown or down by the nape (occipital bone). The fade can be adjusted by your barber, too.
Messy Caesar Haircut 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. If I cut it really short, it would have made the face look really long.
Men’s Ivy League Caesar
This Caesar haircut and Ivy League cut combo is pretty common. A lot of guys these days love the skin fades. Â Use a hairdryer to push your hair over to the side. Using a comb to separate the part and the top of your hair really helps, too, and keeps it looking somewhat fresh.
