It looks like an alpaca this fashionable cut is driving

Noah Beck and Jack Doherty, two social media stars, have popularized a rather atypical haircut. The younger generation is following suit… But these teenagers look like a camelid (to the great dismay of their parents).

Teenagers follow trends, even if sometimes they seem a little ridiculous to adults. And when their favorite stars wear an item of clothing or a new hairstyle, you can be sure that the younger generation will follow suit. Behavior similar to that of sheep, all with a look that resembles an alpaca? It’s a bit like that, according to most parents, disappointed to see their offspring sporting this fashionable haircut.

Originally, Noah Beck, known on Tiktok, as well as Jack Doherty, famous YouTuber, opted for this hairstyle which they made “trendy” among young people. This style has been popular for a while now, since the Covid-19 pandemic, and more and more hairdressers have been asking for an “alpaca” cut, which is also called the “broccoli cut”.

This name is not chosen at random: the hair is cut close at the nape of the neck and around the ears, but care must be taken to leave a good tuft, if possible curled on the top, and particularly on the front of the head. . A hairstyle that is therefore perfect for boys with curly or frizzy hair and which finally makes their haircut trendy. Plus, it requires little maintenance, and it’s easy to style your hair in the morning, before going to class.

And then, the young people will eventually get tired of it, she also tells herself.

The dad, on the other hand, was more in favor of letting him assert himself and express himself. Yes, he looks like an alpaca or a broccoli, but let’s also remember the looks we were proud to wear at their age. Ultimately, the main thing is that our young people feel good about themselves…
