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.

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…
