London  - Barack Obama is taking over heads - A British youth had an image of the US president-elect shaved into his head, possibly setting a new trend in Britain where "Obamania" is spreading.

Kwame Boyce-Deacon of Leicester called Obama an "idol" who has everyone talking. The 14-year-old had Obama's image cut into the hair on the back of his head by a barber who was practicing for a local contest. (dpa)
