In 2019, the crop haircut trend became the most recognizable and in demand among clients. Three years later, the popularity has only increased, and now this haircut can be classified as a “fashionable informal classic.”

Crop belongs to the rank of short men's haircuts. Literally translated from English, crop means “cut,” and this sound is associated with torn bangs, which are also inherent in crop. The crop appeared from an older haircut called “Caesar”, but over time it transformed a little. In fact, crop has become a very similar mutation. But the main difference between these types of haircuts is the gradation between the temporo-occipital zone and the parietal region. The crop has a harder contrast transition, and the Caesar has the same length.

Characteristic elements of Crop

This haircut features smooth thick bangs, a textured top, short sides and nape. Most often it is performed with the equally popular fade technique. This is not an axiom, but, as a rule, clients want a smooth transition between zones.

Crop is characterized by its practicality for many, because hair grows back gradually and there is no need to renew the haircut every three weeks. In addition, there are also many styling options (although everything here depends more on the type of crop). Alternatively, you can lightly tousle your hair while using a texture adder.

Adaptation options

You can really get creative with a crop: cut the hair on the top longer than near the forehead; due to the growth of this mass, the hair will easily fall forward. Bangs - as a separate element, can be straight, as in Caesar, can be chopped, can be curly, with curls, very short. This element will also change the overall picture. The crop can be done like a bowl haircut - with a sharp transition from zero to the required length.

How to trim Crop?

Suitable for clients with a long, thin face with high cheekbones, since the bangs in the crop seem to cut off part of the forehead. But the gap in men's (and not only) short haircuts suggests that any haircut can be adapted to suit the client by changing just a couple of nuances or an element.
