Textured French crop: what it is, who it suits and what to tell your barber

Textured French crop is a short cut listed under men's cuts in the FitMyFace catalog. The catalog describes it this way: faded short sides, about 4 cm of choppy textured hair on top pushed forward into a short straight fringe.

Who it suits

The catalog lists all six face shapes (round, oval, square, heart-shaped, diamond and long (oblong)) as suiting the textured french crop. It marks no face shape as a weaker fit.

For a round face: Add height on top and keep the sides slimmer to lengthen the face. For an oval face: Balanced proportions: most cuts work, so pick for your lifestyle. For a square face: Soften a strong jaw with texture, layers and movement.

The catalog pictures it on straight hair. The catalog says a stylist can usually cut it on straight, wavy, curly and coily hair.

FitMyFace hair previews are approximations, not predictions of how your hair will lie after a cut. Ordinary hairstyle try-ons perform face analysis on-device. The optional AI previews (hair and glasses) send a photo to Cloudflare; your consent is the one "I agree" on the scan screen, and a switch on the results turns them off.
