The Caesar cut is a men's hairstyle, with a short, horizontally straight cut fringe. The hair is layered to around 1 to 2 inches all over. It is named after Julius Caesar, whose images frequently depict him wearing his hair in such a manner.
For American youths of the 1990s, it is also called a Clooney cut, because it was worn by actor George Clooney on the TV show ER.
An alternate version of the Caesar cut, worn primarily by African-American men, is a short men's cut with a defined edge line on all sides of the head. When cut in this way (1 inch max.) and gelled or waxed to give extra definition, it is called a French Crop. This particular style was popular amongst British males in the mid 1990s.
