If you’ve been scrolling social media lately, you may have spotted the curly Edgar haircut trending in all the right circles. If it’s any consolation, as someone who’s constantly seeking new hair ideas that balance tradition and modernity, I had to check out this trend. If you’re thinking about trying it, or are just curious about why it’s so popular, I’m here to tell you.

What Is the Curly Edgar Haircut?

The Edgar cut is a classic, and the curly Edgar haircut is a playful, textured version of this timeless cut. For those not in the know, the classic Edgar incorporates pointy, boxy layers on top and closely buzzed sides. But this is where the curly version comes into its own — it works on natural curls or waves on top, making the style a little softer and more pliable.

I remember seeing this cut on a friend for the first time. As he stepped into the room, I found myself watching nonstop how his curls broke up the otherwise structured style and gave it so much personality. It just somehow manages to be both clean and edgy around the sides, while effortless and charming on top.

Why the Curly Edgar Is Going Mainstream

One main reason why the curly Edgar haircut is making waves is for its versatility. This cut works along with your natural texture, whether you have loose waves or tight coils. It’s also low-maintenance in contrast to other styles that need styling every day.

Another reason? It’s a confidence booster. I’ve observed that the ones who are rocking this cut tend to walk a little differently. Perhaps it’s the way the curls reflect the light, perhaps the way the fade frames the face — either way, there’s something undeniably cool about it.

How to Style a Curly Edgar Haircut

A curly Edgar is surprisingly easy to style. Here’s what I’ve gathered from talking to barbers and friends who have worn this cut:

Apply a curl-enhancing product, like a leave-in conditioner or curl cream, to define your natural texture.

Air dry it or use a diffuser: This will help preserve the shape of your curls without frizz.

Top off your style with a light hold product: A little pomade or gel will help keep things in place without weighing your curls down.

This cut is beautiful in both polished and casual styles.

Who Can Rock a Curly Edgar?

The curly Edgar isn’t only for one type of person — it’s for whoever wants to stand out. Whether you’re a dude with naturally curly locks or someone who doesn’t mind trying a little texture out, this cut is for you.

I’ve watched it on people of all ages and backgrounds, and every time, it seems perfectly tailored to the person wearing it. It’s one of those kinds of styles that lends itself to you, rather than the other way around.”

Final Thoughts

The Edgar is no longer just a haircut but a movement where curls are also embraced. If you’ve been considering changing up your look, this could be just the style for you to try. Believe me, when you check out how well those curls work with the arched undercut, you’ll think, where the hell, where did I think I was going, why hadn’t I done this sooner.
