Justin Bieber gives lock of hair for eBay charity sale

Bidding for Justin Bieber's hair is currently at $7,000 (£4,349)

Justin Bieber has donated a lock of his hair for a charity sale on eBay.

Having changed his usual style, the star agreed to give US talks how host Ellen DeGeneres the strands of his hair to sell.

All proceeds from the sale are to go to a charity which rescues and rehabilitates animals.

There have been 61 bids so far for the hair, which comes in a signed box, with the price currently standing at $7,000 (£4,349).

The star, whose film Never Say Never was released earlier this month, will turn 17 on 1 March.

The Canadian singer's also having a waxwork unveiled of himself next month at Madame Tussauds in London, New York and Amsterdam.
