Jessie J Has Hair Shaved Off For Charity

Singer Jessie J said goodbye to her famous locks when she had her head shaved to help raise money for a good cause.

The Price Tag star underwent the daring deed on live TV during Red Nose Day.

Comedian Lenny Henry started off the process of cutting off Jessie's hair to a length of just 0.5mm, before the singer's hair stylist took control of the clippers.

After she was left bald, Jessie touched her head several times, apparently in disbelief.

Speaking to host Dermot O'Leary, the singer said: "It's the weirdest feeling."

She had admitted being nervous beforehand, but told viewers: "It feels so liberating. But this isn't about this (gesturing to her head), it's about donating."

She added: "I wanted to do something that wasn't just for today and wasn't just for five minutes, it's going to last a few months.

It will remind me and hopefully others that everyday you should do something good if you can."

Jessie, who has visited Comic Relief-funded project Body & Soul which helps young people living with HIV, so far raised more than £500,000 by having her head shaved.

She said it was "amazing" to have raised so much cash, and added: "Everyone's crying. My mum's back there, crying with happiness."
