Orphans In Rwandan Genocide Find Hope In Rural Village
Hal Jackson Dead At 96
Well hello, Lloyd!
The R&B crooner known as "Mr. Long Hair Don't Care" made a dramatic change to his look today, and revealed it all on Twitter.
"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 by giving the artist a fresh new look. After his cut, Lloyd simply stated, "I feel liberated."
Close-Cropped Celebs!
Angel Murphy, the daughter of Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown and Eddie Murphy, showed off her Mohawk on an outing with her mother and step dad, Stephen Belafonte. Did Mel B.'s bald husband inspire her to cut her daughter's hair?
After being snapped by paparazzi last week, Solange Knowles was shocked by the backlash from fans. On her Twitter page, she wrote, "i. just. wanted. to. be. free. from. the. bondage. that. black. women sometimes. put. on. themselves. with. hair."
Bald is beautiful! Just ask Sudan-born supermodel Alek Wek, who has been rockin' the baldie since she first stepped onto the runway in the '90s.
A few months ago, most people would be saying "Amber who?" Now, Kanye's girlfriend, Amber Rose, has a contract with Ford Models and a permanent spot in the gossip blogs. Her edgy and barely-there hair might have something to do with it.
Never one to shy away from a bold and edgy look, Rihanna is the latest in a long line of young celebrities to embrace, or at least partially embrace, the bald.
If singer Cassie was looking for publicity when she shaved a portion of her head, she got it! Blogs were abuzz about the pretty artist's new half-buzz cut.
After giving props to Cassie for her new look, La La Vasquez followed suit with a more subtle version.
'G.I. Jane,' the movie for which Demi Moore cut off all her hair, flopped, but the resulting style didn't! Her hair, or lack thereof, became a hot red-carpet accessory.
Sometimes going bald is not so much a fashion statement as it is a statement of insanity. Case in point: Britney Spears, whose bald head signaled a highly publicized mental breakdown.
A hair chameleon, Erykah Badu has gone from huge headwraps to long dreads to wild afros. This look was just one on her long list of creative looks.
New look, just in time for a new album. Lloyd has been working on his fourth studio album and Zone 4/Interscope debut, 'King of Hearts,' and his new single 'Lay It Down' is getting heavy rotation on urban radio.
Lloyd looks great, and we applaud the reasons for the new look! But we know some of his fans will miss those signature locks.
So what say you, ladies? Are you feeling Lloyd's haircut, or not?

He looked like a nasty greasy sissy and he still look like one with his hair cut. DL bottom boy all the way like so many in the rap culture. Whats with black men trying to look like girls and walking around with their pants down to attract men for up the booty sex? They have lost their minds and running away from being men. They have infected black women with every STD known having unprotected booty sex in prisons and dumb desperate black women have sex with them. Of course its all the white mans fault.
