French crop haircuts to try on your own photo

A short, forward fringe with tidy sides.

Overview

A French crop is a short men's cut: the sides and back are tapered or faded, and the top is left an inch or two long and pushed forward into a fringe. The fringe can be blunt and straight or choppy and textured. Because the hair falls forward, the crop covers a receding hairline, a widow's peak or a high forehead, which is why it is one of the most requested cuts for thinning hair. It is also low effort: a little matte product and your fingers are enough.

French crop styles and who they suit

Every crop here is in the try-on list above.

Crops to try

Classic French crop
Blunt straight fringe with short back and sides; clean and easy to keep.
Textured French crop
Choppy top and fringe; adds fullness to fine or thinning hair.
French crop with a low fade
Keeps some hair at the temples; the most office-friendly version.
French crop with a skin fade
Strong contrast and the least daily effort, but needs a touch-up every 2 to 3 weeks.
French crop with a drop fade
The fade dips behind the ear, which suits a round head shape.
Long French crop
More length on top for movement; good for thick or wavy hair.
Short crop
Close to a Caesar, with a very short fringe; the lowest-maintenance option.
Disconnected French crop
Sides clipped short with no blend, so the top sits like a block.
Curly French crop
Curls on top with faded sides; the curls hide the hairline naturally.
Bleached textured crop
Lightened top that shows off the texture; a bolder look.

French crop mistakes to avoid

•A long, heavy fringe on a round face; keep it shorter and add texture on top
•A blunt, flat fringe on very fine hair, which shows the scalp; ask for a choppy fringe
•A high skin fade on a long, narrow face, which adds length
•Wet-look gel, which clumps the fringe; use matte clay or texture powder
•Letting the fringe grow past the eyebrows between cuts
