What is a French Crop? 

Simply put, a French Crop is a short-length hairstyle, with short back and sides, paired with a short, but slightly longer top, that’s combed forward, most commonly paired with a blunt fringe. This makes the style ideal for guys who want something fashionable yet easy to maintain. 

The right product.

When styling a French Crop, you’re looking for texture and hold, so you’ll need a product that can offer both. This leaves you with a couple of options, yet undoubtedly the best option would be the Dapper Dan Super Hold Clay. Unmatched hold to keep your look lasting all day, check.  Immediate grip to make creating texture a breeze, check. ‘Ultra Matte’ finish to give hair a natural, non-greasy finish, check. There’s really no better product for a French Crop. However, the Super Hold Clay is not the only product you could use; the Dapper Dan Texture Dust offers the same hold, finish and texturising capabilities, but what it slightly loses in control, it makes up for with its easy-to-use form, meaning a sprinkle into hair is enough for all-day style. 

Switching it up. 

With regular visits to the barbershop, and the day-to-day styling covered, a French Crop is an amazingly simple style to maintain, but if you were looking to switch it up, the back and sides are your best choice. Whether it’s a skin fade, taper, or an even-length on the back and sides, all three complement a French Crop and make it easy to change things up to experiment with what works best for you.
