Mid Fade With Curly Caesar Fringe

- Hair Type
- 3B to 4A curly, medium-high density
What it is
A curly Caesar: the top is left with its natural coil and curl but cut short and combed forward so it ends in a straight fringe line across the forehead. The mid fade opens level with the temple and blends steadily into a near-skin base at the nape. The temple carries a square edge that meets the fringe at a right angle. A shaped beard with a defined cheek line balances the forward weight of the fringe.
Who it suits
Suits 3B to 4A curl of medium to high density; the fringe needs enough curl to sit forward without frizzing wide. The straight fringe line lowers a high hairline and shortens a long forehead, so it flatters oblong faces. Sparse edges at the front will make the fringe look thin. Not for anyone who wants their forehead exposed.
How to ask for it
Ask for a mid fade opening at the temple and blended to near skin at the nape. Say keep the curl on top short and comb it forward into a straight Caesar fringe across the forehead. Request a square temple edge meeting the fringe, and the beard lined at the cheek.
Upkeep
Two to three weeks; the fringe line grows past the brow first. A curl cream through damp hair, combed forward, and a bonnet at night to keep the front lying flat.
