Social media immediately blew up with opinions about Styles’s new hair. A few users encouraged him to grow it out, writing, “I will always love #HarryStyles but I’m not sure on the new haircut. Mind your hair grows back!!”
Some fans even drew comparisons to his former One Direction band member Louis Tomlinson: “Explain to me how Harry and Louis have swapped facial hair and styles I am having an out of body experience.”
Others referenced Charlie Heaton’s character from Stranger Things, Jonathan Byers: “OK but can someone tell me when the f*** Harry Styles cut his hair like, it was so short?????? how did he Jonathan Byers his hair in like a week.”
This isn’t the first time Styles chopped his luscious locks. Back in 2016, the “Sign of the Times” singer cut off his man bun and donated it to Little Princess Trust, a British charity that provides wigs to children who are experiencing hair loss due to cancer treatment.
Although we don’t know if Styles’s new ’do is for an upcoming acting role or simply for pleasure, it’s clear the internet has a lot of feelings about it.
