flat top

Plateau-like military cut

A flat top is a haircut in which the hair on top of the head is cut to form a level horizontal surface, with the sides trimmed short.

Popular among military personnel and athletes, it suggests a no-nonsense attitude: He showed up with a fresh flat top.

Flat top also refers to an aircraft carrier, from its level flight deck, and to a griddle or grill with a smooth cooking surface.
