Edgar cut
A front line so straight it looks drawn with a ruler, a short top with light texture and a high fade down to the skin. It’s a bold short cut that spread among Gen Z through social media.

What to tell your stylist
“I’d like an Edgar cut. Please cut the front in one straight line a little above my eyebrows and sharpen the edges with clippers. Keep the top short with some texture, and give me a high fade that goes down to the skin.”
Tip: show the result you made in Mane too. A description plus a picture is the clearest brief.
Why choose it
- A crisp look that’s recognizable at a glance
- Balances a long face by shortening the forehead
- Quick to style day to day
Keep in mind
- The front line and fade need a barber every 2–3 weeks
- A straight line can make a round face look wider

About Edgar Cut
The front line is its signature: the hair is brushed forward and cut in one straight line a little above the eyebrows, then the edges are sharpened with clippers or a razor. The top stays short with a bit of texture, and the fade on the sides starts above the temples.
The straight line shortens the forehead, which balances a long face, and on oval and diamond faces it draws attention to the cheekbones and eyes. It works on straight, wavy and curly hair. Jet black is the classic choice, while platinum blonde and copper make the line even more visible.
What’s the difference between an Edgar cut and a Caesar cut?
Both are brushed forward with a straight line at the forehead. A Caesar cut is short and even all over with a softer fringe, while an Edgar cut sharpens the line with clippers and takes the sides down to the skin. Try both on the same photo to see the difference.
Does an Edgar cut work on curly hair?
Yes. On curly hair, the top looks fuller and more textured, and the straight front line makes a nice contrast with it. To keep the line crisp, your barber just needs to clean up the edges regularly.
