The Youth.


"U GOT THE LOOK!"

Words.

"WHEN a boy of a certain age asks Cozy Friedman, the owner of Cozy’s Cuts for Kids in Manhattan, for a haircut with long, side-combed bangs, she is careful not to ask, “like Justin Bieber’s?”

’Tween girls have been shrieking their appreciation for the 16-year-old pop star’s hair for the last year or so, and now boys are (subtly) requesting the style in droves. Just as every girl wants hair like Blake Lively of “Gossip Girl,” her brother wants to look like the artist who helped bring “Eenie Meenie” to the world.

...Call it the Flip and Switch, the Flow, or the Twitch: the Bieber hairstyle — with sideswept bangs that end about an inch past where the Beatles snipped theirs off — is everywhere. Tim Urban wore it on “American Idol” before he was voted off in late April, and Miles Heizer wears it on the NBC show “Parenthood” to play a brooding teenager. The idea is that the front-combed bangs are so long that they must be flicked aside constantly with a whole lot of attitude..."

I can't.
