Everything that Justin Bieber does manages to make news and his new hairdo is not an exception. Just weeks before his 17th birthday, Biebs decided that his tired of the same old hairstyle that has got people wondering if he does have a forehead or not, and just chopped some of it off for a sleeker look. “I just wanted to, that’s all, not really a big reason; I just woke up and said, ‘I don’t want this anymore’, so I just cut it,” the teen singer said to Ellen DeGeneres when he appeared on the talk show this week.
But he trimmed his famous blonde locks not just out of whim, he’s also doing it for a good cause. Apparently, Bieber is spreading the remains of his chopped hair all around town and Ellen was not spared. During his interview, he handed over his hair enclosed in an autographed Perspex box to the host, who in turn has announced that she will put the item up for bids via her website with proceeds going to The Gentle Barn, a non-profit company focused on animal rescue and rehabilitation.
Some of Bieber’s hair has also found its way on eBay, with a bid now escalating to a whopping $7,000 after more than 60 bids. Those who’d like to take part in the action or just want to snipe in at the last second still have five more days before the auction closes.
While his hair is raising money for charity from all sorts of avenues and personalities, his new do is raising some eyebrows as well. After posting a snapshot of his new look via his Twitter page, Bieber lost about 80,000 of his more than 7 million followers.
He doesn’t seem to worry though, probably because he knows that when his hair grows back, some, if not all, of those 80,000 followers who ditched him will also be back to read his tweets on a regular basis again.
