The Edgar is one of the most-requested cuts of the last two years. Here is what it actually is and how to ask for it.
An Edgar is a blunt, straight fringe cut squarely across the forehead with short, faded or tapered sides. Think of it as a modern take on the Caesar with a sharper front line.
It reads boldest on straight to slightly wavy hair and frames angular and square faces well. A skilled barber can soften the line to flatter rounder faces too.
Ask for a blunt straight fringe with a mid or high fade or a taper on the sides. Bring a photo, since how low and how straight the front line sits is a matter of taste.
The front line grows out fastest, so a touch-up every one to two weeks keeps it looking intentional rather than shaggy.
They are related. The Edgar is a more modern, blunter-fringed version with a sharper front line and usually a higher fade.
Straight to slightly wavy hair holds the blunt front line best, though a good barber can adapt it to most textures.
