HairAI Studio.
Cut short, blunt bangs straight across the forehead. Create a soft, gradual low taper on the sides that smoothly blends into the longer top. Keep the temple area clean with a subtle fade. The top is textured and slightly forward-styled (2-3 inches). This variation offers a more conservative, professional take on the Edgar cut while maintaining the signature straight fringe.

The Edgar with taper is the Edgar cut paired with a clean taper at the sides and nape — distinct from a fade by being more gradual and less aggressive. The taper produces a more workplace-friendly variant of the Edgar that reads cleaner than the burst fade version. It's the option to ask for when you want the Edgar's defining horizontal fringe but a more conservative side treatment.
It flatters oval and square faces — the Edgar's horizontal line and the taper's gradual transition work together. Straight hair shows the taper most cleanly; wavy and curly hair adapt. The cut reads conservative-modern compared to the more dramatic burst-fade variant.
Low daily maintenance — finger-style on top, two to three minutes. Re-cut every four weeks at the barbershop. The Edgar with taper expanded as a 'cleaner Edgar' option from 2021-2024 alongside the broader Edgar trend. It's the variant that suits professional settings where the more aggressive burst fade reads too statement. Ask for 'an Edgar on top with a clean taper at the sides and nape — workplace-friendlier than a fade.'
