Alpo Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 My first thought was crew cut, but I think it's even shorter than a crew cut. There's too much hair to be "shaved", so how would you describe it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 It is a burr or a buzz cut. A crew cut has the sides cut this way, but the hair on top is slightly longer and is left standing. Many who wore the crew cut used a wax or other hair dressing to get the hair on top to stand at attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 Blackwater, what you describe is a flat top, also known as a Butch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South-Eye Ned Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 No, crew-cuts and flat-tops are not the same. I had a flat-top when I was 10. With a flat-top is quite literally cut to give you a flat look on top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seamus McGillicuddy Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 My Dad always called it a Pig Shave. When I got in trouble (which hardly ever happened ) he would threaten to have my hair cut that way as opposed to my usual crew cut. Seamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond Jake Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Dad was a small town barber from 1950 to mid 80's. He gave us Princetons when we were kids; crew cuts with bangs that you combed, while rest of hair was left natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 From the picture provided by SDJ, the crew IS in fact flat on the top! The “flat top” is just a little longer than the “crew”! The crew IS flat on the top until it slopes off the back of the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
