Through the variety of styles which are available, the flat top hair cut is a popular one, as the style is easy to maintain and can be trendy when blended with a haircut that makes use of fading throughout the side of the haircut. The flat top hair cut can be easy to create with the proper tools. Tools required to make the flat top hair cut are a sharp pair of clippers, a steady hand and a comb which can be used a guide to create the appearance of the flat top.


First, blend the sides of the hair into the style before creating the top of the haircut and choosing the style. Before creating the flat top haircut, the sides should be blended into the top of the style. Use the gradual changes in guards to create this appearance, as this can make it easier. Be sure that the hair is dry before attempting to create the flat top hairstyle, as this can make it easier to judge the length that is being created through the entire top of the style. After the hair has been dried, use the comb as a guide to how long the hair should remain on the top of the head.


While using the clippers, be sure to use the comb as a guide to ensure the same length of hair is left throughout the top of the head. Begin at the front of the hair while keeping the comb flat to ensure a uniform style. There are some stylists that prefer to avoid the use of a guard to ensure that the hairstyle is as accurate as possible and the hair is standing straight up. At home, it can be a good idea to use the guard until you are able to get the hang of cutting the flat top hair cut.
