Justin Bieber has ditched his blonde dreadlocks after taking clippers to the head, opting for a mousy brown buzzcut.

The singer sent his fans into overdrive when he debuted his new look on Instagram with not so much as a caption to explain his overhaul, and Beliebers had a lot to say about it.

Pretty soon after Justin revealed his new look to the world, #RIPJustinHair began trending on social media, with fans both condoling the dreads and complimenting the buzzcut.

Justin faced huge backlash when he first stepped out with his dreadlocks just weeks ago, prompting disapproving comments from some who claimed he was appropriating black culture.
