The Caesar haircut is a men’s haircut featuring a horizontally-cut short fringe styled forward. Named after the renowned Roman Emperor Julius Caesar, it is occasionally known as a French crop.

Men who faced early-onset baldness or hair thinning wore the classic Caesar cut. However, in today’s world, this cut can be observed blended with various styles, shapes, and textures. It’s still suggested for gentlemen who have thin hair, particularly now that modern variations of this cut are designed to be more textured and faded.

This emperor French crop cut requires minimal touch-ups and only a bit of maintenance and styling. It’s no surprise that prominent Hollywood actors Zac Efron, George Clooney, and Russell Crowe have been seen wearing this timeless hairstyle on and off the set!
