Benedict Cumberbatch’s Hair: Soft Tapered Caesar Cut
Benedict Cumberbatch’s hair has had a little tweak. And his soft, tapered Caesar cut with subtle baby fringe proves that wavy or curly-haired guys donโt have to fear the fringe life.
Why We Love It:
The Caesar cut is known for being quite structured and, yes, a little severe, but Benedict Cumberbatch’s hair is proof that you can go a softer route with this style and allow your natural texture to shine.
Benedict’s barber has softened the look with a taper instead of a harsher fade, and that short, curly fringe is *chef’s kiss*๐
The shortness and gentle layering throughout means that the hair sits well and equals easier styling, too. Another bonus? It also avoids that dreaded helmet vibe that can happen when wavy hair – especially a fringe – is cut too bluntly.
Benedict has a long, angular face, so this subtle fringe softens his features, and the skilfully tapered sides keep things looking on point without being severe.
In a nutshell, it’s a superb cut that’s also low maintenance but high impact: a winning combo for a haircut, right?
What To Ask Your Barber:
- Benedict Cumberbatch’s hair is a soft, tapered Caesar cut.
- It’s cropped short and tapered at the sides and back, but still highlights his natural texture.
- Ask your barber to keep the fringe short but texturedโno harsh straight lines.
- Your barber should taper the sides graduallyโavoiding extreme fades for a more natural, soft look.
- Make sure they leave enough length on top to let the waves do their thing.
- Ask for subtle layering to prevent bulkiness and to make styling a breeze.
- If your hair is extra wavy or curly, ask your barber toย point-cut the fringeย instead of cutting it bluntlyโthis keeps itย soft and natural lookingย rather than rigid.
Get The Look
- If you have hair in a Caesar cut like Benedict Cumberbatch’s,ย the good news is you can air-dry it – scrunching it as it dries to maintain the waves/curls.
- Use a sea salt spray for texture without stiffness.
- Then apply a lightweight styling cream to enhance movement.
- If you want a more polished look, you can use the diffuser attachment on your hairdryer to encourage and enhance those waves.
- Use the diffuser close to your scalp, tousling it as it dries.
- Avoid heavy pomades or gelsโthis look is all about softness
- If you have curly hair like Benedict and your fringe starts misbehaving, a tiny dab of matte paste can help keep it in place without making it look stiff.
