Flat-Top Haircut

This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

Yes, I had one too - the legendary Flat-Top haircut! So called because of the extreme levelness of the hairstyle, made popular in the 80's by soldiers and the like! Short back 'n' sides with a square, flat, top. How cool was that?!

Do You Remember Flat-Top Haircut?

I had this style, until somebody shouted "Bart Simpson" at me in the street one day! I have a skinhead look these days, not because I'm a football thug, but because it's just so much less bother than standing in front of a mirror for ages with hair gel, trying to get the style right!

The lad I had a crush on at school had one and my brother used to call him 'wok head'(??) He was going out with my mate and I used to go to his house (as a mate), little did he know I secretly fancied him! However, after we left school my mate dumped him! Damn! If I could have seen into the future I would have made a play for old 'wok head'!

Err...it's only a good haircut if you have a low forehead. Otherwise you looked my me in the 80's; like the bloke from the Tefal advert (remember?)

I have one of these now and forever! That's what the US Navy and serving with US Marines did for me:-)
