Health benefit to Justin Bieber's hairstyle

Justin Bieber may have a tumultuous love life and a police record, but the pop star is also doing something right: He's (inadvertently) helping to prevent skin cancer, according to Yahoo Shine.

Bieber's infamous banged coif from circa 2009 may influence kids to cover up when they're in the sun, according to an observational paper conducted by Bernard Cohen, MD, professor of dermatology and pediatrics, and Crystal Agi, MD, chief resident of dermatology at Johns Hopkins University.


That's because teens who sport prominent bangs have paler skin and almost no freckles on their foreheads, the latter of which is a marker of sun damage that's linked to an increased risk of melanoma. Of course, the bangs don't need to be side-swept, a la Bieber, as long as they adequately cover the forehead.
