Mandopop star Jam Hsiao has finally snipped off his shoulder-length hair, in preparation for his new album slated to be released next month. The singer hopes to present a refreshing image with a short crop and white outfits this time around.
“Actually [my hair] could be shorter!” he chuckled. “It’s more convenient to wash and dry my hair now. The time I take to prepare before leaving the house is much lesser too!”
In fact, Jam had wanted to get a similar hairstyle as Hisashi Mitsui, a character in popular Japanese mangaSlam Dunk, because of their “similar backgrounds”. “We both once went astray but we eventually turned over a new leaf due to our love for basketball,” explained the singer.
Also, the 27-year-old is not worried that his fans would have a hard time getting used to his new look. “If you compare the surface area of my face that is exposed, there isn’t much difference as I always had my hair tied in a ponytail previously,” he said.
A fan of long hair since young, Jam felt “forced” to maintain a short hairstyle during his school days. Ever since he fell in love with rock music, he resisted cutting his hair even more.'
