Caesar Cut
Short fringe · classic
A Caesar is cut to roughly the same short length all over, one to two inches, then pushed forward into a short, straight fringe across the forehead. The sides can stay scissor-cut or take a subtle taper. It is one of the oldest short cuts there is, and it still works.
Who it suits
The forward fringe shortens long faces and softens big foreheads, and the uniform length is easy on thinning crowns and receding corners. Straight and wavy hair sits best. Round faces should be cautious here, since the horizontal fringe can add width right where they do not need it.
A trim every four weeks holds the shape. Styling is pushing it forward with your fingers, maybe with a touch of light cream.
Caesar Cut — common questions
Is a Caesar cut good for a receding hairline?
Yes, it is a classic response to one. The fringe moves hair forward over the temples and corners, and the even length keeps thin spots from standing out against longer sections. It works until recession moves well past the corners.
What's the difference between a Caesar and an Edgar cut?
The Edgar is the Caesar's louder younger cousin: the fringe is fuller and cut in a harder straight line, and the sides are usually taken down with a high skin fade. A Caesar keeps modest, even sides and a subtler fringe.
