If we had to name the single most-booked men's cut in Los Angeles right now, it would be the textured fringe. Here's why it works.
What it is
Length kept on top with a piecey, textured fringe falling forward over the forehead. Sides are tapered — usually mid or low — to keep the shape balanced. The fringe is the focal point, deliberately broken up so it never looks blunt.
Who it suits
Almost everyone, which is part of why it's so popular. Works on straight, wavy, and lightly curly hair. Best for guys with medium density and a forehead they don't mind drawing attention to.
Why LA loves it
It photographs beautifully, grows out cleanly, and reads as both modern and intentional. Almost every actor, model, and creative client we cut walks out with some version of this.
Styling
One matte product — a clay or a paste — emulsified between the palms and pressed through the fringe with your fingers. No comb. No blow dry needed unless you want extra height.
