The Weeknd got rid of his hair so he can sleep properly

The Weeknd left his fans shocked when he decided to cut of his signature dreadlocks, but the singer says his life is much easier without them.

The Canadian singer said he can now sleep properly, reported Aceshowbiz.

"I could only sleep on one side of my face. It was a long time coming. It didn't feel right anymore... Now, the sleep is amazing. The shower is amazing, because I don't have to spend two hours cleaning it. I didn't know how much I wanted it until I did it.

"I told everybody I was getting rid of it, and everybody - literally, unanimously - they were like, 'No, don't do it! That's your whole thing, that's you.' And the way they said that, I was like, 'Oh, I'm definitely cutting it no," the 26-year-old singer said.
