Overview
The Edgar hairstyle is usually characterized as the front hair having straight fringes, or bangs, along with the sides tapered.[4] The hairstyle can be worn with any hair texture, including more wavy and curly hair. The Edgar hairstyle is most prominent among young Latinos.[5]
The origin for the name Edgar is unconfirmed, although it is often misattributed to having been named after former Seattle Mariners baseball player Edgar Martínez sometime in early 2019.[6][7]
The hairstyle is associated with the Mexican Takuache aesthetic,[8][9] often also called the Takuache haircut. The hairstyle has been found to have similarities to the hairstyles of the Jumano tribe.[10][11][12]
The haircut is also slangily called the "cuh" in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, after the song Cuh 956 by Dagobeat.[13]
Reception
The Edgar hairstyle has been met with a mixed reception. A professor at the University of Texas at El Paso noted in 2023 that the teen popularity of the styles makes it "a really big marker of this generation",[14] whereas a barber from Corpus Christi, Texas called the hairstyle "not a favorite amongst parents".[15] Some have associated the haircut with “gangster culture”.[16][17]
