    This hair trend is the new wave.

    “Surfer curtains” — a beachy, textured men’s hairstyle defined by curtain-style face-framing bangs — is shaping up to be the hottest cut for teens.

    The low-maintenance TikTok trend, which typically involves very few products and a bit of scrunching , has been popularized by influencer Dillon Latham as well as celebrities like Timothée Chalamet and Charles Melton, whose middle-parted mop of wavy hair has gripped the masses.

    Desperate teen boys are begging for the viral ‘broccoli cut’ — and making parents pay for pricey perms

    “It’s a surfer haircut paired with ‘90s curtain bangs,” stylist Andrew Zumbo told Parents , praising the “effortless” and “unstructured” look. “It’s that Hollywood heartthrob hair that we’re seeing right now.”

    And the Y2K-era style, noted hairstylist Kylee Heath, has been increasingly popular.

    “The surfer-curtains trend is a cut that is generally parted in the center, or slightly off-center, and worn with a beachy texture,” she told PopSugar .

    “The cut and style leaves some length in the front that is worn almost like a curtain bang that can be tossed left to right. This look is also great when it is a little tousled with some volume and texture.”

    The laid-back look is also relatively easy to achieve — just “spritz a little bit of [sea salt spray] on top of their head, wave it around, and they’re good to go,” Zumbo said.

    Styling ease has also been a motivator for teens clamoring to get perms as the “broccoli cut” — the predecessor of “surfer curtains” — takes social media by storm, as those without curly or wavy hair who want the desired volume and shape of a tousled mop shell out hundreds for the treatment.

    “Glossy magazines have been eclipsed by influencers who purport to be ‘just like us,’” Dr. Brooke Erin Duffy, a social media researcher at Cornell University, told Parents of the wave of hair trends online.

    “[Social media] platforms assure us that fame is easier than ever to achieve—this narrative, after all, ensures a steady stream of content for their platforms.”
