The French crop is a classic hairstyle for men. It’s a versatile cut that is short on the back and sides but kept slightly long on top. This is what makes it such a great style. The longer hair on the top can be styled in several different ways. It can be combed back, styled to the side, or pushed over the forehead. This versatile haircut is the ideal hairstyle solution. This haircut works for men of all ages, face shapes, and personal styles.
The French crop is ideal for a contemporary cool cut. Compared to pompadour or quiff, this hairstyle requires less maintenance.
How to customise your French crop
Even if it’s a short hairstyle, you still can customise it to inject some of your personality and style. If you crave more versatility, ask your hairstylist to leave the hair on top at a slightly longer length. The longer lengths on top are screaming for styling!
Fringe
Although the fringe of your French crop can be short, there are different options for you. You can choose a blunt, ragged, or straight fringe. Use them to frame your face when you style the fringe to fall over your face. With the French crop, you have various options for styling your parting and forelock. You can update your look to suit your day. Use the right products to style and maintain your hair easily the way you want to. Whether it's a smart day in the office or catching a game with your mates, you are sure to look your best.
Add Volume
Just because you have thin or thinning hair does not mean that you must accept the situation. Use hair wax to reinvigorate your hair and add volume. Use a small amount initially and add more as you need it. It’s easier to add more than having to wash your hair and start again! The French crop may be a maintenance-friendly hairstyle. But it allows you to style it in quiffs and side partings too.
Add texture
If you want to add texture to your hair but want it to retain its movement, try using Da'Salt Water Spray. You can control your hair’s style without restricting its natural tendencies. It’s a great way to enhance your hair’s natural look while still having control. Just remember to balance between the back, sides, and top for maximum impact.

Fade
For a contemporary twist on the classic French Crop, ask your stylist about fades. Fades are when a stylist cuts the hair so that there is little or no hair at the back and sides. But as you move to the top of the head, the hair gets longer giving the hairline a faded effect. There are different types of fades, but the most regular ones are high fade or low fade. High fades are more extreme with the hair being removed within 2 inches from the top of the head. On the other hand, low fades are more tapered, with the hair extending with a taper cut to the nape of the neck.
French crops are a classic cut for men. They are adaptable, low maintenance, and easy to style. Don’t let their timeless and traditional appeal put you off. You can add a contemporary twist with a fade and personalised style that will suit any look.
