Tweens flock to Toronto salons to get singing sensation's shaggy hairdo

i sincerely hope they mean that tween girls are flocking to the hairdresser to ruin their heads with this hair-don't because if boys are hoping to get some attention with his style, they had better only be interested in other boys.
