Justin Bieber has shaved off his controversial hairstyle , hopefully because he has finally listened to those calling on him to recognize his cultural appropriation.

The singer shocked fans when he showed off his brassy brown and black-colored locs in an Instagram post with wife Hailey Bieber in mid-April.

The decision led to backlash from some fans, and now a month later the 27-year-old has decided to shave off the hair, revealing his new look on – you guessed it – Instagram, in a picture with, you guessed it, wife Hailey.

“Happy Sunday,” he captioned the post of the pair out for lunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Slouching in the booth, the singer wore a simple sweater and jeans combo, while model Hailey rocked jeans and a cropped sweater, with her hair sleek and straight.

Locs are a hairstyle that is culturally significant to the African American community but this wasn’t his first foray into appropriation. Locs are culturally known as a symbol of spiritual asceticism, socio-political resistance and Rastafarianism, and as Mia Uzzell wrote for Grazia Magazine earlier this year, the exacerbated privilege yielded to white celebrities allows racial identity theft to casually roam in their insular bubbles of elitism with little to no impact on their lives of luxury.

“Yet what the pop star remains obstinately callous to is the disparate experience people of color face — namely, Black people — when wearing ethnic hairstyles,” shared Mia.

In Texas, Black high schoolers with locs were barred from graduation and faced indefinite in-school suspension over school district grooming policies that banned their hairstyle. An Alabama woman, Chastity Jones was penalized in 2010 for her locs after wearing them to a job interview that would later rescind her offer over the common misbelief that the style “tends to get messy.”
