Justin Bieber Unveils Bold New Look As He Shaves His Dreadlocks Off
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is Sinead O'Connor back with a bang?
No folks, it’s just little-known popstar Justin Bieber – who last night unveiled a whole new look to the world on Instagram.
He’s only gone and shaved his hair off!

The formerly blonde bombshell showed off his new ‘do in a series of snaps posted last night, one of which including a tongue-in-cheek reference to Drake’s new album artwork, which went viral earlier this week.
The 'Sorry’ singer has been under pressure to change his look recently, after coming under fire earlier this year when he was accused of cultural appropriation with the new deadlock style he sported at the iHeartRadio Awards.
Fans vented their frustrations, arguing black hair styles are more than a fashion vogue, and cannot simply be culturally appropriated.
One Instagram user with nothing much else to do lectured: ‘People are annoyed cause when black people wear this style they are stereotyped as druggies and are “unkempt” look at Zendaya for example. She had fake dreads and she was stereotyped, but when people such as JB wears them its suddenly “the latest trend”.’

A Twitter user wrote: ‘Justin Bieber got dreads. There’s your (unwanted) daily dose of cultural appropriation.’
While another told Bieber via the social network: ‘Dreadlocks are cultural appropriation. We’ve taught you this before. Your hair is fine as it was.’
Well, we imagine this lot are all breathing a massive sigh of relief now that the controversial locks have disappeared off the face of the earth.
Anyway, here’s Drake sitting on JB’s shoulder for good measure.
