brushcuts

Bristly flat-top styles

Brushcuts is the plural of brushcut, a short haircut where the hair stands upright like the bristles of a brush.

The style is associated with military personnel and athletes, though it has broader appeal as a low-maintenance cut: The new recruits all had identical brushcuts.
