The Twitterverse has also been buzzing with rumors that approximately 80,000 fans unfollowed Bieber on Twitter, who currently has 7,522,294 followers.
How many followers did he have before the hair fallout? We aren't sure, but suspect once Beliebers get over their anger they will follow their idol again.
"yeah so it's true...i got a lil haircut...i like it...and we are giving all the hair cut to CHARITY to auction. Details coming soon..." Justin Tweeted a couple of hours after he broke the news on TMZ Live.
And leave it up to Biebs to put everything in perspective and ignore the hair hoopla while real tragedies are happening in the world.
"just ending the night. my prayers go out tonight to the people of New Zealand. god bless" he Tweeted early this morning.
