Here’s how to get Edgar Cut. In an Edgar haircut, the sides are normally shorter and the top is typically longer. An edge around the hairline is clean and polished, while the top is textured, messy, and a clean, messy look all over the hair. In recent years, Edgar haircuts have become increasingly popular, especially among young men.
Edgar haircuts are also known as Edgar cuts. Recent years have seen an increase in popularity for this hairstyle. To get an Edgar haircut, follow these steps:
Find a barber who knows how to give the Edgar haircut. Make sure your barber has experience working with different textures of hair and knows how to fade.
Take a picture of the Edgar haircut you like and show it to the barber. By doing this, you’ll ensure that you and the barber are on the same page and that the barber knows what you’re looking for.
On the sides and back, Edgar haircuts have short, tapered cuts, while the top has longer hair. When it comes to the top of your head, ask your barber to gradually fade the hair on the sides and back with clippers.
A textured, messy look is usually achieved by cutting the hair on top of the head to about 1-2 inches in length. Use thinning shears or a razor to add texture to your hair using scissors or thinning shears.
Make sure your barber cleans up the edges and shapes the hairline to create a clean, polished appearance.
4-6 weeks is the recommended frequency for maintaining your Edgar haircut . Your hair will look neat and stylish throughout the day if you use a quality styling product.
Among the most popular men’s hairstyles of the 2020s is the Fluffy Edgar or “takuache”. Its edgy, playful blend makes this haircut extremely chic, but it can also be difficult to master. Traditionally Hispanic, this style is dynamic yet easy to style due to its perfectly symmetrical bangs and lots of texturing. We’ll show you a foolproof, easy-to-follow method that’ll give you the perfect Fluffy Edgar, regardless of your level of haircutting experience.
1. Prepping Your Hair
Wet your hair and comb down your bangs
Elongate your hair by rinsing it with a faucet or spray bottle. After you’ve combed your bangs down, place them in front of your forehead. Cut your Fluffy Edgar guidelines nice and easy by keeping the bangs tight and symmetrical.
Your hair should be at least ear-length. Ideally, you want hair that can easily be combed forward (at least 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10.2 cm) long).
Add hairspray or serum to your damp hair
Make sure your hair is loose and protected against the heat of the blow dryer by applying hairspray or a hair-strengthening serum to combed, wet hair (particularly bangs).
Blow dry your hair in the direction of your bangs
The blow dryer should be set to medium heat when drying your hair. Make sure your bangs are kept straight by using a comb to hold them firmly in place while you blow dry them.
2. Cutting Your Hair
Cut your guidelines using a guardless clipper
Your haircut will be shaped and lengthened according to these guidelines. By cutting sharp, straight lines on the sides of your head with a clipper without a guard, you will be able to create side guidelines for your Fluffy Edgar. Just below the top of the ear, cut these. After that, cut a straight line near the bottom of the ear on the back of the head. Below these lines, cut any excess hair using a guardless clipper (or size 0 clipper).
Size 0 guards (which cut skin-smooth) provide clear lines that make tapering a Fluffy Edgar cut much easier.
The side guidelines should be shaved about 0.75 inches (1.9 cm) of an inch above the ear if you want your Fluffy Edgar to have a higher taper/fade. After shaving your back guideline, shave the bottom of your ear 0.75 inches (1.9 cm) higher.
It is not necessary to have perfectly even back guidelines. There is a tendency for these lines to dip before they reach the other ear. If you want to add some flair, you can even add funky line patterns!
Open a size 2 clipper guard over time to create fade lines
Place your clippers at the top of your side guidelines above the ears with a clipper guard (size 1 12-2 usually works well with this cut). Then, shave your hair vertically upward, and horizontally downward, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the guidelines to create thicker, larger lines (fade lines).
To achieve an even fade, begin shaving with the clipper guard fully closed and gradually open the lever as you shave.
Shave small sections of hair at a time, working in small sections. Tapering slowly and steadily creates a better-looking result.
Use a size 1 guard to blend the hair
After you have created a sharp guideline at the bottom and a thicker fade line at the top, change your size 2 clipper guard to a size 1 (or about half the size of the fade line guard) and blend the hair by shaving in the same direction as you did your fade lines (vertically from the bottom to the top and horizontally toward the back), stopping just below them.
As a result of shaving the head in this manner, the top of the head will appear thicker and more fluffy.
Cut clipper-over-comb to clean up the blend
Then, comb out small chunks of hair and use a razor to shave off each chunk with the outside of the comb after you have created a nice, even taper. If your guidelines are rounded or limpening due to bulky or loose-hanging hairs, use this method to remove them.
Give your hair a rounded Edgar look by combing it at 45 degrees.
Use a guardless clipper to trim your front bangs
Using your clipper, remove the guard and trim your bangs in a straight, even line across your forehead after you’ve tapered and blended your back and sides. Depending on how much forehead you wish to show, you decide where to cut your bang line. Those with a higher taper should trim their bangs shorter. Keep your bangs lower if you have a lower taper.
If you want a crisper line after clipping your hair, use a straight blade.
Using a scissor-over-comb technique, texture and remove any excess hair
To remove hairs that aren’t blending into your fade lines, use scissors. For touching up and trimming these last few hairs, use scissors-over-comb, since they provide greater control than clippers. The initial blend should be cleaned with clippers-over-comb for a more buzzed look.
3. Styling & Upkeep
Wet your hair and let it air dry
The style and texture of your top hair distinguish an Edgar cut from a Fluffy Edgar cut. When styling your top hair, you need to get it wet and malleable by rinsing it off and allowing it to dry without using a towel or blow dryer.
When your hair is damp, apply a curl-enhancing moisturizer
To add volume, use a quarter-sized amount of texturizing moisturizer after your hair has become damp, but not completely dry. You can curl your hair by scrunching, fluffing, and flicking the top part a handful at a time until you reach the desired result.
To ensure that your Fluffy Edgar lasts as long as possible, do not use other hair products.
Every 2-3 days, shampoo and condition
To prevent your hair from becoming too dry, flat, or frizzy, try not to wash it more than three times a week. Maintain your hair’s volume by using a sulfate-free, moisturizing conditioner on a weekly basis.
