Harry Styles is in his “short hair, don’t care” era and fans can’t get it out of their heads.
The British pop singer, who became known for his long brunette locks as a member of the teen pop group One Direction, debuted a daring buzzcut look on Wednesday in a photo promoting his Pleasing Fragrance collection.
In the photo, shared on the beauty brand’s official Instagram page, Styles can be seen staring at the camera while sporting the shaved hairstyle and a brown graphic sweater.
“Our founder Harry Styles toasts the launch of Pleasing Fragrance with friends in London. November 2023,” the post says.
Speculation about Styles’ hair change first began to swirl when the “As It Was” singer was spotted at a U2 concert with actress Taylor Russell earlier this month.
Styles’ new look has sent fans into a frenzy on social media, with some criticizing the change in the singer’s appearance.
“Harry Styles got a buzzcut??? “That’s definitely not pleasant,” X user @libbyisstrange wrote, seemingly referencing Styles’ Pleasing brand.
“Harry Styles’ buzzcut!!!! Life is in ruins. I still need a break. I can’t stand this,” @Coldbrewsteep wrote on X.
“I can only forgive #HarryStyles for the buzzcut if he goes back to his Harry era with the long hair.” X user @ididntsayyee wrote.
Despite the unexpected hairstyle, some fans stayed in Styles’ corner and applauded the look.
“Buzzcut Harry Styles still does it for me (not going to lie),” @notdesrocs wrote on X.
“(You know) a man is doing well when he looks good in a buzzcut.” X user @itsafsanay wrote. “Harry Styles and Zayn Malik are prime examples.”
“I may be the only one who thinks this, but I’m so happy for Harry Styles and his buzzcut,” @alexnfranklin24 wrote on X. “This man probably feels so free (right now). Good for him.”
