James revealed to his followers that he had initially aimed for 'a little trim up', however, it didn't go according to plan and in a 'sheer moment of madness', he decided to shave the whole thing off.
He also paid tribute to the NHS and wished his fans 'peace and love'.
Alongside a snap of his new shaven head, he wrote: 'So I was trying to give my self a little trim up in a state of pure cabin fever, it wasn’t going so well so In a moment of sheer madness I decided to do something I’ve never dared to do before and shave my head for the NHS and donate 5k.
'Is that a bare blade? Yes. Do I have a melon head? Yes? Am I thankful that i don’t have to leave the house for a while? YES!!! Am I so happy that hats were invented? Yes I am.

'Peace and love folks! Thank god for the NHS! THANK YOU SINCERELY TO ALL OF YOU!'
His post was soon flooded with comments from fans, complimenting him on his new look and praising him for his charitable donation.
Last month James admitted he was finding it difficult trying to pass the time at home after recently performing on stage.
He wrote: 'Finding it hard to go from the euphoria of doing the shows every night to absolutely jack all… it’s only day one for me and I’m struggling, especially with no football. What the actual f**k do I do?'
James, who has asthma, described his symptoms, writing: 'I have a cough today… trying really hard not to let health anxiety get the better of me.'

It comes after James was forced to cancel a gig in Barcelona in January due to coming down with an illness.
The singer told disappointed Spanish fans he would be rescheduling the date after seeking medical advice from his doctors, who told him to rest.
He tweeted: 'I'm absolutely gutted to say I have to cancel my show at Razzmatazz in Barcelona this evening, I've become really unwell and doctors have advised I need to rest.
'I'm really sorry guys. If you contact your original point of purchase they will inform you how you can get a full refund. Hope to see you all again very soon. James.'
James rose to fame when he won The X Factor in 2012 and has since gone on to release three successful studio albums.
