A hairstyle that I don't understand.

I was avoiding my homework today when I came a crossed a new song by Cher Lloyd called "with UR love".  When I was watching the video I noticed a hairstyle that I had seen before.

Kendall Young

Cher Lloyd

The place I had seen it before was in one of my favorite shows "The Sing Off" on NBC. I was watching the latest episode on I-tunes when I noticed one of the singers in the group "Delilah" Kendall Young was wearing the same hairstyle.

I am wondering if this is going to become a trend. I am not one with a huge fashion sense and I don't really get most of the trends that I read about on yahoo but I do have my opinions, and I wonder where this idea came from? I don't think it looks super bad but I wonder why any girl would want to shave half of your head. I wonder if they came up with this idea themselves or if their hairdressers wanted to try something new.

Am I the only one that thinks this is a weird hairstyle?
