HOTT NEWS!
LLOYD aka. “Mr. Long Hair Don’t Care” surprised his fans today via twitter (@lloyd_yg) when he revealed that he cut off his trademark braids for a worthy cause. The R&B star, who began growing his hair over 10 years ago, felt like it was time for a change, and time to give back, “I’ve been growing my hair since 9th grade. It’s time for a new me.” said Lloyd. He went on to say, “The fact that my hair will go to someone that needs it more than me, makes me feel great about my decision.”
Lloyd has always been an avid supporter of non-profit charity work, especially when his efforts go toward benefiting children in need. Non-profit organization Locks of Love will use Lloyd’s donated hair to provide a hair piece for a financially disadvantaged child (under age 21) suffering from long-term medical hair loss. The organization was happy to work with Lloyd, and both parties hope that their partnership will inspire others to donate.
Mahogany Wright, Lloyd’s long time hair braider gave the artist one final braid, then did the honors of cutting off the 12 inch lock of hair. Moments before, Lloyd had this to say, “I’m doing this for me. I feel like it’s time for a change and now is the perfect time.” Lloyd’s childhood barber, known simply as “Parker The Barber”, who was the last person to cut his hair when he was just 14, finished the job, giving the artist a fresh new look. After his cut, Lloyd simply stated, “I feel liberated.”
Lloyd has been busy prepping his 4th studio album and Zone 4/Interscope debut, ‘King of Hearts’ which will be lead by the new single “Lay It Down” produced by Awesome Jones (aka Polow Da Don). He now has a new look and new energy to go with his new label situation and new album.
