What is the Edgar haircut? For those who often hang out in TikTok, explore Instagram Reels, or watch world-class fashion shows, maybe you’ve seen this crew cut. Yep, this Edgar haircut is trending, aka it’s everywhere.
However, what are the characteristics of this men’s short hairstyle? How is it similar to the French crop? Instead of being confused, keep reading this article!
What is the Edgar haircut?
Edgar haircut is a short men’s haircut which is a combination variation of the French crop and bowl cut. Edgar’s characteristic cut is a thin side part with the top hair cut short and neat.
The Edgar haircut is very popular among young Latin men, especially in Mexico. Because of this, Edgar’s hair is often called the takuache style. This hairstyle is taken from baseball player Edgar Martinez. Well, Edgar is so fanatical that some of his fans have made hairlines with his face. Apparently, many people are wrong about this fan’s hairstyle. So it be Edgar’s hairstyle term!
Confused about explaining to your favorite barber? Here, check out the characteristics or elements that must be present in an Edgar haircut!
- Thinning on the sides. This is what makes Edgar’s hairstyle look similar to a French crop, Caesar cut and undercut.
- Generally using high fade or even skin fade shaving techniques. Because of this, Edgar haircut has more extreme results!
- There are short bangs like a French crop.
Difference between Edgar Haircut, French Crop and Bowl Cut
We understand the confusion that may arise when discussing hair names, especially those with very similar cuts. No worries. Check the differences between each hair style below.
- French Crop: Remember Fadly Faisal? Well, that’s the characteristic of the French crop cut. Crew cut with super short bangs.
- Undercut: This is a technique of shaving thinly on the side of the hair. If the taper or fade has gradations with different thicknesses, then the thinning undercut has the same thickness.
- Bowl Cut: The result resembles bowl hair. The top hair doesn’t have to be cropped and short. There is a disconnected effect between the sides and the entire hair. Usually this cut does not have the gradient of a taper fade shave.
- Edgar Haircut: More extreme thinning, tends to use high fade or skin fade shaving techniques (which make the scalp look bald).
Well, you can see the difference, right?
Edgar Haircut Variations
Not just 1 style, Edgar haircut also has many variations. You can copy the idea here.
Edgar Cut Classic
The classic one is the edgiest! Take a look, okay? All these edgy elements are complete: there are front bangs that are up, the hair is thinned with a fairly high fade.
Messy Edgar Hairstyle
Because the top hair is usually cut with choppy cuts, you can really create a messy or random style.
To get a style like this, you obviously need styling products. The easiest to use is pomade or wax. If you want a final look that looks wet or shiny, choose hair gel.
Author’s Tip: For those of you with thick or very curly hair, we recommend using wax. The consistency and hold of wax is much better than pomade or gel.
Disconnected Edgar Cut
You can see this disconnected, aka separate, effect from the lack of hair on all the sides. Trimmed to resemble a perfect bowl! This variation takes elements from the bowl cut.
If you want a softer disconnected look, add a fade gradient right below it. This disconnected effect doesn’t look too bold.
Edgar Haircut with Hairline
This hairstyle became famous because it featured a hairline in the shape of a baseball player’s face. OK, you don’t need to be that extreme. Just use the same concept, but with cool hairline variations!
If you’re not confident with different hairlines, you can try a simple skin like this.
Spiky Edgar Haircut
The top of the hair is usually trimmed and styled neatly at the front. So, for certain events, you can try this style: neat bangs with spiky hair. This style is different from the messy model.
To create a messy style, style your hair randomly so that it has texture. With spiky hair, the ends of your hair are made to stick out. To get this spiky or jiggly result, you need wax or pomade.
However, make sure you wash your hair thoroughly after every styling product. If necessary, double cleanse your hair, that is, use shampoo twice in one shampooing session. This is useful for removing product residue that may be left on the scalp. If your shampooing method is not clean, this can cause dandruff!
Edgar Cut with Mullet Combination
Do you know the mullet hairstyle popularized by Korean oppas? Well, on mullets, the top hair and bangs are usually long or left thick. If combined with the Edgar cut, make the top shorter but with a ‘tail’ at the back. You can get 2 styles at once.
Edgar Cut on Curly Hair
Have curly hair but it always goes back and forth every time you want to try a cut like this? Horrified that your hair will be difficult to manage? In fact, the volume of your hair is what makes it attractive. In a regular Edgar haircut, the hair is styled short and neat so it looks deflated. If your hair is curly, you no longer need to make your hair look messy or fluffy. It’s already automatic, hehe.
Not only that, you can also make other variations like this. Leave your hair curly and straighten your bangs.
Just like other crew-cut styles, this Edgar hairstyle can really be tried on all face shapes, whether round or long. For those with a round face, make sure the sides of your hair are thin and the top is fluffy. This can give the illusion of a longer face!
