28 Cool Edgar Haircut Styles Every Guy Should Try in 2025
#1: Two-Toned High and Tight with Spikes
If you feel bold, try adding a bright color to your edgy haircut. Look at this two-tone high and tight with spiky hair! The sides have a neat mid-fade, while the top is fun and daring. It pairs well with modern streetwear. To get this exact look, you will need to lighten the hair on top. This process may be easier for some people than others. Talk to your local stylist to find out if this style suits you.
#2: Bleached Blonde Edgar with Bangs
The Edgar haircut is a modern twist on the classic crop. It features short sides and back with a straight, blunt fringe. This bleach-blonde style keeps a few longer pieces in front to add texture and make it stand out. To get a natural look, use sea salt spray while drying and add styling powder for extra texture.
#3: Shaped Edgar with Fringe
The shaped Edgar with fringe suits men with straight hair. Choose this style if you want a neat, trendy haircut with a textured fringe. It has a sharp, modern shape that looks clean and well-groomed. The textured fringe is flexible, so you can style it in many ways. This cut is great for guys who want a sharp, stylish look that is easy to keep up. Use a volumizing powder or matte clay daily to maintain it.
#4: Classic Edgar with Bald Faded Sides
Consider the classic Edgar haircut, which has bald faded sides and textured bangs. This style is bold and works well for both boys and men. It combines very short or shaved sides with longer hair on top. The textured bangs add depth and movement, making the haircut look fresh and trendy. The Edgar cut fits many face shapes and hair types. To keep it looking sharp, get regular trims and touch-ups. The best styling product depends on your hair’s thickness and texture. Still, a matte clay like Hans De Fuko’s Scheme Cream works well for most people.

Suitable for All Hair Types and Textures
The Edgar haircut is very flexible and suits almost any hair type or texture. Giannotti explains, “This style is meant to look a bit or even very messy. Most hair types look good when slightly messy, giving that ‘I woke up like this’ look.”
Face Shapes and Considerations
The Edgar hairstyle is designed to look very square, which usually flatters most face and head shapes. But Giannotti warns not to blend the fade and the top too high. “If the corners, called the parietal ridge, get rounded, it can create a Spock-like look, which you don’t want,” he explains. Also, the stylist should point cut the bangs to add depth and texture. Simply layering them can make the bangs look too perfect, like Betty Page’s, which most people try to avoid.
Styling Tips and Product Recommendations
To style an Edgar haircut, Giannotti suggests using a product that creates a dry, natural look. He recommends Victory Crown Barber Co Matte Clay Pomade or Texture Spray. For a matte style, towel dry your hair well. Then, rub a small amount of Matte Clay Pomade into your hair. Use your fingers to separate the strands for a messy effect. Use the Texture Spray on dry hair, holding it 8-12 inches away. Spray for just a few seconds to avoid using too much. After spraying, run your hands through your hair to add volume and shape.
