There soon could be a new purpose for Justin Bieber's dreadlocks: money for charity.
The pop star is planning to sell the dreadlocks he shaved off more than a month ago and donate the money for a good cause.
"We still have the dreads though," Bieber's hair stylist, Florido Basallo, told Cosmopolitan. "Now we might try to sell them for a charity."
Basallo did not elaborate what groups would get the funds.

Just how much fans would empty out of their piggybanks is not clear, considering that Bieber's dreadlocks were met with significant backlash when he debuted the new haircut back in April.
"Justin Bieber didn't get the memo that white people look stupid with dreadlocks," tweeted "The Breakfast Club" radio host Charlamagne Tha God.
But the backlash over the dreadlocks wasn't just due to the way they looked — some felt the hairstyle was an appropriation of a hairstyle usually associated with African American culture.
The 22-year-old actor responded to the criticism telling Big Sean in an interview last month, "[People say] you want to be black and all that stuff, I'm like, 'Its just my hair.'"
Nonetheless, Basallo insists that the 22-year-old pop star cut his hair because he wanted to switch up the look, not because of the backlash he received.
"The haircut was his idea," added Basallo in his interview with Cosmopolitan.
"He wore them for maybe a month and then wanted to change up his look. Not to mention his hair was bleached and was already fragile, plus it was knotted and teased from the dreads.
