Ash and Nikki discuss the popular haircut trend among teenage boys right now that they've dubbed the "Benson Boonehead" or "Ol' Packer." They describe the style as having lots of volume on top with tight faded sides, looking similar to a mullet or shag. They joke about how it seems like every boy at private school is rocking this look to get around strict haircut policies. Ash and Nikki poll parents, teens and a barber to try to get the definitive name for this style, landing on "modern mullet" or "burst fade." They compare it to other popular cuts like the taper and talk about how TikTok is influencing what teens are asking for at the barber shop these days.
