Some sad news—just for us, apparently. The rest of the world is so damn excited to learn that Justin Bieber has shaved his head. Turns out we were among the select few that approved of the long, greasy, tangled, looks-like-it-was-maybe-cut-with-dull-scissors hairstyle he rocked this summer. Which, as far as we're concerned, is kind of the wrong take—because it looked so much better than those salon dreads, or that extremely precious undercut. Bieber’s insane-o dirtbag hair was great because it captured everything we love about summer (mainly: the not giving AF) and because it showed us that Justin Bieber is reaching that stage of personhood when you’re OK being whoever you happen to be. Justin was feeling himself! And we were feeling that.

Whatever the case, despite the fact that we liked it, Bieber is now back to looking handsome with a buzz cut. We will never hate on the buzz because it's a style move that always kills, no matter how famous you are. We’re just going to sit here and say a little grooming prayer that Bieber continues to keep it loose and easy, even as he embarks on new, slightly more traditional hairstyles. Because caring too much about your hair is worse than rocking a gentle bird’s nest atop your head. We should all be able to agree on that, at least.
