Caesar cut

Hairstyle

The Caesar cut is a hairstyle with short, horizontally straight cut bangs. The hair is layered to around 2-5 cm (1-2 in) all over. It is named after the Roman Emperor Augustus, whose images frequently depict him wearing his hair in such a manner. This haircut first became fashionable among Western boys and men in the 1980s.
