Julius Caesar/ Roman hairstyle vs French Crop

Young or old, casual or professional, the Caesar is the perfect haircut for guys.

The Caesar is an ideal haircut for almost any guy. The Caesar works well to compliment virtually any face shape and hair type.

Named after Julius Caesar, the Caesar haircut is usually short all over with the bangs pushed forward and upward.

This hair cut for guys incorporates layers that cut to about 1-2 inches all over the head.

One of the main differences between the Caesar and the French Crop, is that the Caesar is cut to the same length all through the hair and the French Crop is typically worn with shorter sides and longer bangs or fringe.

The Caesar hair cut is also an ideal choice for men who are starting to loose their hair. It allows them another option than shaving their locks bald or wearing a typical buzz hairstyle.

To wear your hair in a Caesar cut like George’s, visit your stylist or barber and request a short, contoured cut. Your cut should be modified to fit your head shape and size. If desired, you can request slight volume throughout the top and along the sides.

With a Caesar hair cut, you have a number of styling options available. However, if you wish to style your Caesar like George’s, it will take you only a few moments each day.

Caesar cut - a moderately short cut worn in the style of Julius Caesar. The hair is layered to around 1 to 2 inches all over. The hair is brushed forward to a short bang or fringe at the front.
French crop - similar to a Caeser, but feathered at the front.

So in what way is a French crop different from a Caesar cut or from a Collegiate cut?  Is it basically a grown out College boy (cf. Barnes/ the 842 thread)... Is it shorter back and sides than the Caesar or is the main distinguishing feature the feathered front?

Re: Julius Caesar/ Roman hairstyle vs French Crop

The Caesar or "Ruthless Roman" (Peter York's coinage) is a forward brushed crop like the ol' Gerry Mulligan crop from the 50's.

The forward brushing is what makes the difference I think.
