How many of you guys had the Caesar Cut in the 90s?

[-]

DoctorFenix@reddit

I did, but not even because it was in style.

I had long-ish hair as I was experimenting with growing it out at the time (think Shawn from Boy Meets World: https://i.insider.com/5d8a58766f24eb080017a483?width=800&format=jpeg) and when I was like 16, right before summer break, all my friends suddenly went and shaved their heads before the summer soccer session started. I figured "fuck it, It will be cooler and easier to manage"

So I, too, shaved my head.

When school rolled back around 3 months later, it was only about an inch and a half long and all I could really do with it was use some gel and plaster it down. So I ended up with one of those caesar haircuts, when it was cool, without going to a stylist and asking for one specifically.

Practical_Reindeer23@reddit

Pretty sure all the guys I dated in high school all had this hair cut

[-]

draperyfallz@reddit

I love this haircut, more so the Clooney example. It's better than the butt cut if we are talking 90s haircuts.

[-]

PogintheMachine@reddit

Butt cut? Parted down the middle?

For real, Caesar never really went out. It’s pretty much just a “standard cut” that’s a bit thinner up top and less styled.

[-]

draperyfallz@reddit

Yup the parted down the middle. Think Jonathan Taylor Thomas

Pretend-Tea86@reddit

This is pretty much what my 7yo son demands when we get his hair cut.

The stylist is always like "um... mom... ?"

My take is it's his head and his hair and he gets to make the call, but hoooo boy is it a little hard to look at without seeing this.

[-]

SirWalterPoodleman@reddit

My mom tried to give my uncle the Caesar in the 90’s, he didn’t speak to her for a week when this is what he ended up looking like. The resemblance was uncanny- he had the tooth gap, too!

[-]

fllannell@reddit

I can't do it because my hair sticks straight out on the sides as soon as it starts to grow out at all. It is not flattering to say the least.

[-]

Tronbronson@reddit

Yep right into the frosted tips. Flavor town.

[-]

MyVanillaccount@reddit

Didn’t we all? Was there another one? It’s was bowl cuts, then Caesar, then shaved heads to hide balding.

Unless you were one of those metal guys with the long hair, that was pretty much it in the 90s

[-]

Borracho_Bandit@reddit

Not me. I had spiky frosted tips like a real man.

[-]

Odd-Improvement-1980@reddit

One time when I was in the psych ward about 5 years ago, this crazy lady who wouldn’t stop telling me about her vagina told me that I’d look really hot if I spiked my hair and frosted my tips.

The haircut I’ve had for the last 25 years isn’t too far off of the Caesar cut. It’s a little bit shorter and I don’t have bangs (the top is cut using clippers to a #4 or #5).

Also, if any of guys are bored or struggling from writer’s block, I can’t emphasize enough how many interesting people and things you see in a psych ward…

[-]

PersianCatLover419@reddit

What all did you see, or who did you meet?

[-]

Odd-Improvement-1980@reddit

That’s a whole story in and of itself, but I did meet a guy who claims that he was shot and murdered by Michael Jackson.

Apparently the guy was hauling a 55 gallon drum full of heroin in the trunk of his car when, from out of nowhere, the police saw him speeding and pulled him over. He claimed that the officer that got out of the police car was Michael Jackson. For whatever reason, MJ shot and killed this guy - but that’s not a problem for the police. The police have this resurrection pill that they can give you that will obviously bring you back to life. So, MJ and the police gave him the pill and brought him back to life.

The story doesn’t end there. Since the police revived him, he owed them and was forced to become a police officer. Apparently, if you inject steroids directly into your muscles, they grow instantly. Additionally, if you inject a combination of steroids and heroin into your muscles, you gain near super-man levels of strength. There was more to that vignette, but I’m starting to ramble.

Anyways, MJ and this guy had a bit of a rivalry going on. One night when MJ wasn’t on duty and was just driving around in his civilian car, our psych ward hero saw him and pulled him over. When he saw MJ, he shot him in the face, killed him, then gave him the resurrection pill. He told the police he was done working for them and they let him go.

This is just one story from one guy that I’ve met. I’ve got way more where that came from!

[-]

Similar-Sir-2952@reddit

Still do but a bit thinner up top

[-]

6BigZ6@reddit

I had a receding hairline at age 12 and went full shaved by 20. I did have a mullet at age 8, but my hair was already trending towards “I don’t know what’s happening up front, but the party is still back there, albeit confused.

[-]

So a real Caesar cut? (Me too)

Yep. Much thinner

[-]

Consistent_End7756@reddit

I did in high school lol

[-]

MaestroLogical@reddit

Early 90's was the part down the middle, slightly long style.

Late 90's I had the Caesar...

In fact, I kept that until around 2008 when I finally decided my balding was severe enough to warrant just going completely shaved.

[-]

Cael_NaMaor@reddit

I mean... if you shave your head & just let it grow back, at a point it does this naturally. So yeah... had it several times.

I one-upped this though, in that my hair has a little natural wave in it at about that length, so I quite literally had a Cesar

[-]

SamRaimisOldsDelta88@reddit

Nah, but I bleached my hair like Eminem.

IceSmiley@reddit

I had the Asian guy equivalent and it looked shit because it doesn't work well with that kind of hair that stubbornly won't go down. Now my hair stubbornly won't grow 🧑‍🦲🤣

[-]

FfejMos@reddit

I mean, it aged better than the 90s bowl cuts.

[-]

Never liked that look. Dippity-Doo hair gel, slicked back, then shaken into rock hard tentacles was more my thing.

KDallas84@reddit

Late 90s, finally broke my Mr Spock haircut streak. Then I rebelled and grew out my hair.

tipseymcstagger@reddit

I had the “window blinds” cut. Hair parted down then middle with the bangs hanging over my eyes.

I still have the same cut 😅

At 11 years old in 1994 I remember coming to school with this cut and one of the older boys with an undercut started making fun of me. Then one of his friends stepped in and said something along the lines of, "actually his haircut is really trendy." 😂

My mom was/is a hairdresser.

LlewellynSinclair@reddit

I’ve had the same basic haircut for 40+ years except when I wanted my hair spiked in 1st grade ca. 1988/89, and when I got a buzz cut when I started losing my hair due to due to cancer ca. 2019/20. (Never lost it because I never did chemo, and any hair loss now is just age and genetics, but it was just a fuck it, if I’m losing it, I’m losing it on my terms).
