Going With The Flow

By: Nathan Hoy

The Troy Bolton

Senior Noah Hermansen’s long flowing hair is exactly why people today are calling this new look “flow.” As our generation has grown up, it has been commonly known that girls have long hair and boys have short hair. As the years go by, however, more and more guys have started to try out the lucious locks. Famous celebreties like Brad Pitt, Chris Hemsworth and in Noah’s case, Troy Bolton have tried out the new flow and inspired guys all around to let their hair go free.

“I don’t know what else to say besides I just like having flow.”
