Lloyd‘s been rocking shoulder-plus length locks for as long as he’s been on the scene. But recently the new Interscope signee (under Polow Da Don’s Zone 4 imprint) hit up an Atlanta barbershop to switch up his ‘do for a good cause – – he donated to Locks for Love.

?I?ve been growing my hair since 9th grade. It?s time for a new me. The fact that my hair will go to someone that needs it more than me, makes me feel great about my decision.?

Locks for Love is a non-profit organization that accepts donated hair to provide hairpieces for financially disadvantaged children under the age of 21 suffering from long-term illnesses that cause hair loss.

Lloyd?s longtime braider gave the singer a 12-inch braid for keeps before cutting the rest off for charity.
