Kinds was noticed sporting a recent buzzcut whereas attending a U2 live performance on the Las Vegas Sphere with rumoured girlfriend, Canadian actress Taylor Russell.

As a star whose hair has been synonymous along with his celebrity picture over time, it’s no shock that followers had a robust response to his new haircut. They usually had some fairly distinctive methods of expressing their *passionate* emotions in regards to the new look.

Others weren’t dealing with it as properly, with some expressing emotions of complete and utter despair on the sudden lack of Kinds’ beloved curls.

Followers have additionally seen how ironic it’s that Kinds chopped off his well-known locks proper after Taylor Swift got here out with a brand new tune from her not too long ago launched album 1989 (Taylor’s Model) that mentions one in all his most memorable hairstyles. Titled “Now That We Don’t Discuss,” the brand new tune accommodates lyrics that appear to be directed at how Kinds grew his hair lengthy after the pair broke up in 2013. 10 years later, it’s a humorous coincidence that Kinds’ hair is now the shortest it’s ever been — by far.

Regardless of seeing the paparazzi-style photographs of his new coiffure, one fan determined that she wanted affirmation from a really trusted supply — Kinds’ mother, Anne. After coincidently working into her over the weekend, the fan asked Anne if she may verify that the brand new look was actual. Her response?

Amid all of the wild, eccentric, sequin-filled and boa-adorned outfits that Styles has sported lately, his well-known brunette curls have remained comparatively unchanged. The ability of this coiffure additionally extends far past Kinds’ solo profession; followers who’ve watched the singer develop up earlier than their eyes for the previous 13 years have solely identified him with long-ish, typically shaggy, brown waves.

Wanting again on his early X Issue and One Route days, Kinds’ curly chestnut locks have been what made him distinguishable from his bandmates. Because the years went on, the singer’s hair remained one of many focal factors of his picture, whether or not it was on the shorter aspect or if it was grown out into his notorious Tarzan-esque mop of the mid-2010s.

As he launched into his solo profession, Kinds debuted a a lot shorter hairdo, however the curls have been nonetheless on full show. At the same time as he’s remodeled his look over the previous couple of years, his iconic tousled coiffure has largely stayed the identical — apart from the close-cropped seems to be he sported within the movies Don’t Worry Darling and The Policeman.

Nonetheless, no type has ever been as drastic of a change because the shaved-head look that he’s sporting now.

Nonetheless, Harry’s mom’s clarification of her son switching up his coiffure as a result of he wished a change whereas he takes a break from the highlight makes whole sense.

Since wrapping up his remaining cease on the worldwide Love On Tour final summer time, the singer has been taking a while off and has hardly ever been noticed in public.
