Chip Gaines knows you hate his haircut. So, in the name of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Fixer Upper cast member is offering to change it up.

It’s come to my attention that most of you hate my current hairstyle. But how MUCH do you hate it? Now’s the time to put your money where your mouth is. ⠀ ⠀ So here’s the deal: Next week, Jo and I are visiting the beautiful kids at Target House with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis. No family ever pays @StJude for treatment, travel or food—so basically, we want to bring them a giant check from YOU to help cover costs—lets come together to do something big to bless these kiddos. ⠀ ⠀ Donate to @StJude through the link in my profile, and the more money we raise over the next FOUR days, the shorter my hair goes. That’s a promise. And, who knows, maybe if you really exceed my expectations…I’ll buzz it all off. #OperationHaircut

“Let’s come together to do something big to bless these kiddos.” he said.

The link in Gaines’ Instagram bio leads fans to a Operation Haircut landing page, where people can donate any amount of money to the charity. However much fans raise by Nov. 7 determines Gaines’ haircut.

“The more money we raise over the next FOUR days, the shorter my hair goes,” he said. “That’s a promise. And, who knows, maybe if you really exceed my expectations…I’ll buzz it all off.”

Fans praised the Texan’s philanthropic attitude.

“You are the best! Way to turn useless, critical feedback into a positive activity that raises awareness & funds for those in need. Pure awesomeness!!” one fan wrote.
