Textured Crop
A crop with the weight broken up through the top so it sits in separated pieces rather than one solid mass. Reads as effortless, requires the least product of anything in the textured category.

What to say
Ask for it like this.
Barbers work from instructions, not vibes. These are the three things that decide whether you get this cut or something adjacent to it.
- Ask for a textured crop and say you want the top point-cut, not scissor-over-comb flat.
- Say how much length you want left on top — two to three inches is the working range.
- Ask for a low fade or a taper underneath depending on how sharp you want it.
