Gigi de Lana has a very personal reason for cutting her hair short.

The singer addressed a netizen's question on TikTok on why she cut her long hair, revealing that she did for her mother with cancer.

"Ang daming hindi nakakaalam nito. Mommy ko po may stage 4 breast cancer, maiksi po ang hair niya. So gusto ko po kapag makikita ko siya parehas kami halos ng iksi ng hair," Gigi shared.

"Pero ito po hindi ko po kaya 'yung semi kalbo o kaya parang boy cut talaga. So ayun po. Para hindi na po kayo magtanong at magsabi sa akin bakit ka nagpagupit. Ayan alam niyo na," she added.

Gigi has been open about her mom Imelda's bout with cancer.

In an interview with the singer back in June 2022, Gigi shared that her blossoming career as a singer was her way of fulfilling her mother's dream.

“My mother has a lot of dreams and hopes for me. I want to make at least some of them come true. And I want to prove to her that she has been right all along to believe in me even before anyone else ever did. She dreamed I’d make it big one day, be seen on huge billboards and all that,” Gigi said as reported by Manila Bulletin.

Amid her thriving career, Gigi emphasized that spending time with her mother and her family is still her number one priority.

“When I can’t balance my time with work and family, I feel like there’s an empty space inside of me. And I don’t want to feel that way. I wouldn’t trade being with her for anything in the world. I love her so much,”  she remarked.

Gigi rose to fame with her song covers on YouTube alongside her band Gigi Vibes.

In an interview in July 2021, Gigi remarked that "consistency and hard work" have been the keys for the success of their YouTube channel.

"Consistency and hard work talaga. You have to listen to your audience, kung ano 'yung gusto nila. And as much as we can, be as natural. Maging natural. Kung sino kami sa bahay, kung sino kami sa kaibigan namin, kung sino kami sa inyo, ganun dapat. Kasi 'yung totoo yung hinahanap," she said.
