Teenage boys have a new hair style obsession.
You’ve probably seen a variation of the “alpaca” cut, as some are calling it, on the likes of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, internet personality Jake Paul and pop megastar Bad Bunny.

Herson Bautista, owner of Heritage Barber and Company in Kensington, Md., told Morning Edition that he gives this haircut six to seven times a week and that it’s usually young men requesting it.
