A flat top is a men’s haircut with upright hair on top and sides that are shaved or tapered short, creating a boxy-shaped top. Originating from the 1950s and reappearing in the 1980s, this vintage haircut is making its rounds again on this year’s charts!
The possibilities of this cut are endless! What used to be a popular look for military men can now be seen on all kinds of guys – from black guys with afro hair to those with naturally wavy or straight hair.
It’s also known for its precisely-cut square shape, but modern versions include rounded boxes and asymmetrical flat tops that make it easier to pair with both thick hair and thinned out hair. To maintain the sharp angles and volume of this haircut, barber visits are a must regularly depending on how quick your hair grows.
If you’re seeking a fresh and crisp ‘do to flaunt, it’s time for you to check these trendy pictures of flat top haircuts!
#1: High and Tight Flat Top
This look is rooted from the classic high and tight haircut. The coolest thing about it is that it’s a very detailed and difficult haircut and it’s always a challenge for perfection.

Feeling nostalgic? Bring back a 90’s flat top jive with this clean haircut. Smooth edges and shave balance the bouncy top.
#3: Very Short Flattop
This style suits the rounder face guy as it elongates the face. It’s a very short cut, so it will grow out very quickly; I would suggest an average of 2-3 weeks between cuts.

#22: Military Flat Top
This is an old-school military flat top haircut, first of all, and I like that style. Secondly, this very haircut disguises some particular hair growth features, like hair loss. The smooth, though definite flat top fade matches head shape perfectly, accentuating distinct facial features.
