Flat Top Haircut Rollcall

Dont forget Brock!!

Not sure about the new chest tatoo though…

As it so happens, I’ve been getting a flat top myself for the last 5 years (at least). And here I thought I was alone in the world.

I’m home…

Not that I care, but what exactly is the “in” haircut for the year 2006? I’m not sure there is one - I’ve seen everything from shaved heads to long hair and everything in between. I think it’s whatever the hell anyone wants.

I can’t pull off a flat top because I have goofy hair on top of a funny-shaped head. I also cut my own, and I do an Ivy League - another haircut that originated around the 1950s and 60s. It’s basically long in the front so I can brush it over, but short everywhere else.

Fairly low maintenance. Depending on how fast your hair grows, a flat top can be high maintenance, as in you’ll need a trim every 10-14 days, if you want to keep it looking good.

I dont think there is an “in” hair style. I am pretty sure there are “out” hairstyles though. The flat top is one of them IMO.

I think the flat top mullet is coming in soon though, so I would go for that.

To the original poster, dont cut your own hair and don’t do a flat top. If you do, I hope you are already married, because you could be in for a dry spell sporting that.

The metrosexuals are all going with the dove tail thing on top of their heads or the mess-your-hair-up-while-there’s-gel-in-it look.

You forgot about 1/2 of the U.S. Marine Corps.

Good:
Short buzz all over, short spikey hair, medium length hair (surfer, skater, w/e), short mohawk (questionable, metrosexual, must be a designer whore), shaved head (must be mean looking, or going bald)

Bad:
really long hair, long mohawk, “The Republican” (turn on the news and wait for a politician), Comb over, wrap around, mullet, flat tops, those gay emo hairstyles, blow-outs

Awesome

Two sources are saying the flat top is definintely out. I must get one. I wonder if the Mexican $5 haircut shop just down the road is any good. $10 per month for haircuts sounds good to me. Living on the edge of “Little Mexico”, as some people call it, has turned out to be pretty nice.

Dude, (yes I said “dude”) I’m in a wheelchair. A wheelchair is one of the most powerful ANTI-aphrodesiacs on the planet. My dry spells are very similar to the global warming cycles already. Hell, I’ve never even finished a pack of condoms. Some of them always expire first. Anyway, I’m going to try out a flat-top. BTW, I got rid of the wife. She was a worthless PITA. Life is so much… easier now. =D

Looking at your photos, I reckon you’d look rediculous with a flat top. If I were you, I’d go for a 1/4" buzz cut all around. You’d look kinda like Jason Williams, PG for the Miami Heat.

I found this website of hairstyles when I googled the “Ivy League”.

It’s got some cool stuff in it.

So technically you could classify the entire Marine Corps as two groups. Half with unacceptable hilarious haircuts and half with normal ones.

Its just for psychological warefare. Confuse the enemy to the point of total disarray.

Don’t try to get inside my OODA-loop. You will loose that psychological battle. Anyway, all Marines have socially “unacceptable” haircuts. We’re a pretty socially unusual group anyway, and we like it that way. Chicks dig a “high n’ tight”. Does anyone really care what freaking “hairdo magazine” says?

The flat top is a classic that will never go out of style. Not everyone can pull it off. The critical element is to have the sides very short…I’m talking a military medium regs at a minimum (the bottom must be skin tight). Don’t try to keep the sides long (sometimes called fenders) and the top flat. That’s stupid. If you are going to do this, go all the way and get a military high and tight flat top. Plan on getting your hair cut once a week also. They grow out very fast. If you don’t like it, hair grows back.

This shop doesn’t do fenders…

I actually learned how to do it from that site. I cut my own hair and it’s not a cost thing - it’s a goofy hair thing.

Well, I thought about it, but my jaw is on the square side so I thought it would make my face look like a rectangle.

I’m not sure anyone else likes my current style, but I like it and that’s what’s important (to me).

2 questions…what is a OODA loop? and did you have to look up the spelling of “psychological” like I did?

It looks a funny with this lighting but it is a straight (square) cut.

PS… I’m still bulking… I like food too much.

Dude, you don’t look a thing like your avatar. False advertising. LOL

I had one in grade 5 and in grade 8 when it was powerfully uncool. I was a bad motherfucker.

None of your bullshit No1 on the top motherfuckers either. This was a big one…kind of like Guile in Street Fighter.

Nothing like a flat top.
