A Caesar haircut may be one of the oldest and most traditional hairstyles around, but the stylish cut continues to be a popular choice for men today. While you may recognize the Caesar cut from its popularity in the '90s, the hairstyle dates back much further than that. The style originated with the Roman Empire and is attributed to Julius Caesar, after whom it was named. The cut, which features a short length, is characterized by hair that is styled forward with a small, horizontally cut fringe. While Julius Caesar reportedly chose this cut to help conceal a receding hairline, the look became incredibly popular with men of all hair types and ages.
