On Saturday’s episode, singer says he resembled ‘one big hairball.’ By Jayson Rodriguez Jay Sean Photo: MTV News Jay Sean is a lady-pleasing crooner whose smooth lyrics might only be eclipsed by his even smoother face. But when the Cash Money Records pop star was a teen, he had a grooming style that Gillette might have been afraid of. According to Jay Sean, his look resembled “one big hairball, basically.” “When I was 17, I thought I was the sh–, even though, I clearly wasn’t,” he says in this week’s episode of “When I Was 17,” which also features Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em and Tony Award-winning actress Kristin Chenoweth. “I looked very different. You could barely see my face because it was covered in hair.” The Punjabi singer, who started his career ruling the U.K. charts, had long stringy hair that extended past his chin. His beard wasn’t quite scruffy, but covered a good portion of his baby face. And his eyebrows connected as one long stripe of hair above the ridge of his eyes. Jay’s brother, Naroop, laughs at the memories of his follicle-enhanced sibling. “He had quite thick eyebrows before he discovered tweezers,” Naroop says, teasing his bro. Rather than try to contradict this talk, the singer adds more embarrassing details about his former looks. “My hair was long; I could tie a knot under my chin if I wanted,” Jay adds. “I had a huge beard. And I had a unibrow. Eyebrows would connect with the hair, which would connect with the beard.” Now, however, Jay Sean is a rising pop star after scoring his breakout hit stateside with “Down” featuring Lil Wayne. “When I Was 17” — this week featuring Jay Sean, Kristin Chenoweth and Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em — premieres Saturday at 11 a.m. on MTV.
