Hairstyles · French Crop
Short, textured hair on top brushed forward into a fringe, with short sides, shown on your photo.
The French crop is a short, low-maintenance cut: the top is kept short and textured and brushed forward into a fringe, and the sides are cut short or faded. It is a popular choice for men who want something tidy that needs little styling, and it works for thinning hairlines because the fringe sits forward. This page runs one template, French Crop, on a photo you upload. The instruction sent to the image model (Nano Banana 2) is "change the hairstyle to french crop haircut". Your face, clothes and background are meant to stay as they are. It is in the men's Hairstyles, near Textured Crop, Edgar Cut and Buzzcut.
What it does
Low effort, previewed first
The French crop is chosen for how little styling it needs. See whether the short forward fringe suits your face before you lose the length.
Close cousins to compare
Textured Crop is messier on top, Edgar Cut has a blunter fringe, and Buzzcut takes everything short. Run them on the same photo.
On your photo, not a model
The template edits your own picture, so you judge the cut against your hairline and face shape.

Frequently asked questions
What is a French crop?
A short men's cut with a textured top brushed forward into a fringe and short or faded sides. The template asks the model for a French crop and produces one version.
French crop or textured crop?
They are close. A textured crop is usually choppier and messier on top. Both are templates here, so run them on the same photo and compare.
Can I choose the fade on the sides?
No. The model decides how short the sides go. For a defined fade, try Taper Fade or Undercut Fade.
Does it work on long hair?
Yes, but bigger changes vary more. Very long hair can leave traces near the ears or neck; generating again gives another attempt.
