A nod to 90s textures, easy to style with just a finger tousle, the soft crop is the men’s haircut of 2024. After taking over the heads of It Girls, this layered cut with long locks on the forehead and tapered nape is ready to conquer the world of men’s hairstyles.
This universally loved feature of the soft crop is its versatility. The lengths at the front can be transformed into a side sweep or a fringe by playing with styling. Its soft texture adapts to straight, wavy and curly hair.
The easiest way to keep this men’s haircut in check is to leave it messy. the soft crop, in both its female and male versions, is a low-maintenance cut. On wavy hair, it interprets an easy-going and dynamic lifestyle, without stress. On straight hair, it highlights the cheekbones and emphasizes the gaze.
Medavita Idol and its styling products pay homage to it with a collection of three versatile men’s hair looks (featuring the soft crop with a wet look effect on the cover). They are dedicated to three different hair types. To find the nearest barber who can create the soft crop that’s right for you, click on the images.
1. Straight hair
Long and structured with layered graduations, the soft crop on straight hair has a “disheveled” effect. The textured front tuft should be swept back, like the side hair, to make the most of the cut’s texture and add volume even to the finest hair.
2. Wavy hair
The soft crop on wavy hair can play with more marked contrasts, leaving the hair on the sides much shorter. These length differences make it even more versatile. Simply straighten the hair with the help of a wet-look product to give the cut a more aggressive and elegant look.
3. Curly Hair
Those with curly hair know how difficult it can be to manage on a man’s head. This version of the soft crop with controlled and gradual volumes is dedicated to the most unruly curls. The soft fringe is in perfect balance with the hair on the sides and nape, for a contrast-free look that openly draws inspiration from quiet luxury.
