What defines a edgar cut?
A blunt straight fringe paired with a dense, highly textured top. The name is only a starting point: placement, shortest length, blend shape and retained weight determine how the finished cut looks.
Hair types and proportions to consider
This style can be a useful option for thick hair, bold silhouettes, younger styles. It works with straight, wavy, thick hair when the shape is adjusted for density, growth direction and personal proportions.

What to ask your barber
Ask for a high taper transition using Skin to #2 through the sides. Keep about 2 to 3 inches on top with blunt fringe with texture and a natural taper neckline. Show a side and back reference to settle the blend shape.
Maintenance and styling
Refresh every 2–3 weeks for the cleanest blend. Use a small amount of product suited to your texture and preserve the intended direction rather than flattening the top.
