Textured crops to try on

What a textured crop looks like

A textured crop keeps the top short (roughly 1–3 inches) and cuts it with point-cutting or texturizing so it breaks up into pieces instead of lying flat. The fringe is pushed forward — straight across like a Caesar or French crop, or choppy and uneven — and the sides are tapered or faded. Variations in the library include choppy micro-fringe crops, Caesar crops with a blunt fringe, spiky crops and crops with diagonal fringes.

How to style a textured crop

A textured crop takes about a minute in the morning. Towel-dry, rub a pea-sized amount of matte paste or clay between your fingers, and push the top forward with your fingertips so it breaks into pieces. For more volume, blow-dry the top forward first. Keep it sharp with a trim every three to four weeks — the sides grow out first.

Who suits a textured crop?

Crops work on most hair types and are especially good for thick or slightly wavy hair, which holds the texture. The forward fringe can soften a high forehead or a receding hairline. Round faces look best with a little height in the crown; long faces with a fuller fringe. Want it even shorter? Compare it with the buzz cut filter.

Textured Crop — Common Questions

What is the difference between a textured crop and a French crop?

A French crop has a straighter, blunt fringe; a textured crop is choppier and messier on top. Both are in the library.

Is a textured crop good for thin hair?

Yes. The choppy texture hides thinner areas better than a flat, combed style, and the forward fringe covers a receding hairline.

How often should I trim a textured crop?

Every three to four weeks keeps the sides sharp and the top choppy.

Can I add a fade?

Yes. Pick a crop and ask for "low fade" or "skin fade" in the chat.
