Luther Ford: Tousled French Crop

Rated  4.0 4 Star

Actor Luther Ford is set to become a household name as Prince Harry in The Crown. So, good job his versatile French crop delivers star power in spades.

Why We Love It:

Luther Ford’s tousled French crop haircut is a great example of how to freshen up a classic style.

The filmmaker and actor – who plays Prince Harry in the sixth and final season of Netflix juggernaut The Crown – rocks some epic just-woke-up-like-this texture. This laidback look is speedy and simple when it comes to styling, plus the versatile length on top means you can also experiment with quiffs, side parts and more.

Bonus intel: a French crop can be a solid choice if you’re self-conscious about a receding hairline or thinning areas, since your hair is styled forward.

What To Ask Your Barber:

  • For Luther Ford’s tousled French crop haircut, a barber will likely taper your back and sides to create a subtle blend with the longer hair on top.
  • They may use a point-cutting technique on the top to boost your hair’s natural texture and movement.
  • A French crop can also be teamed with a skin fade or undercut on the back and sides.
  • Take a photo reference and chat to your barber about what style and length will work best for you.

  • For an even more textured finish, warm a pea-sized amount of styling clay or wax in your hands, then run it through your hair.
  • Brush your top length forward with your fingers or a comb. Try to keep that relaxed, undone feel and separate the hair a little for choppiness.
