There are so many styles to choose from, it sometimes helps to have an expert guide to refer to when picking your next look. The Chaps’ Top Pick for July is the classic, contemporary and super versatile Textured Crop. Let’s look at this style in a little more detail and if you fancy it, come down and get yours at your local Chaps.
What is a textured crop?
A textured crop haircut is a popular style characterised by short hair on the sides and back, with slightly longer hair on top that is textured or layered. The top is typically cut in a way that creates a natural and casual tousled look with extra texture and movement. It is most easily styled with matte or low shine products as this allows the texture to stand out and gives the relaxed, effortless feel this style is all about.
The textured crop is a highly versatile choice, easily matched with many different hair types and face shapes. You can add a fringe, choose different fade styles or keep it classic. This versatility is what makes it a top pick from our team.
What do I ask my barber for?
Pretty simple, ask them for a textured crop! All decent barbers will know exactly what you’re talking about, and you can discuss variations or modifications to suit your personal style too. You may have heard other names or differences but stick with ‘textured crop’ and your barber can’t go far wrong.
You can discuss your fade options, fringe and whether you want any variations to the back and side cut but essentially you want that tousled, textured top with shorter sides.
Adding a taper or fade
The back and sides of a textured crop are always shorter than the top, however you can add more interest or stand out with your choice of taper or fade. A simple taper is a safe choice, but you could go for a more dramatic skin fade to create a bolder look.
Styling products for your textured crop
As mentioned, matte products are the most suitable for a textured crop as they allow the movement and texture you are looking for to stand out. Clays and pastes are a great choice and for hair with a natural wave or curl, you could also use a salt spray to bring out your natural texture.
