Harry Styles fans are in uproar as he recently debuted a new look.

The ‘As It Was’ singer has lost his curly locks and swapped them for a totally shaved head.

While fans mourn Styles’ old hair-do we’d all gotten so used to since he first appeared on The X Factor back in 2010, let’s circle back to a weird little conspiracy about him.

In the summer of 2022, there was a whole load of speculation that Styles is actually bald.

People actually believed the former One Direction star wore a wig to hide his shiny bald head.

It was thought this mad hair rumour kicked off after an anonymous post on DeuxMoi – a gossip-based Instagram page.

An anonymous tip off posted on the account, which didn’t name any specific celebrity, read: "This A list musician/occasional actor has a dirty little secret he hasn’t shared with fans. Literally! He has gone almost completely bald. His hairpiece is so lifelike that only a good eye could pick it out, and that's on a bad day. However! He doesn’t take it off and clean it enough.”

At first, people reckoned it was Machine Gun Kelly secretly wearing a wig but it soon became the trend it was Mr Styles.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, the ‘Watermelon Sugar’ singer ended up denying the rumours as he admitted he ‘didn’t even know his hairline was a topic of discussion’.

His mate and collaborator Tom Hull - better known as Kid Harpoon - who is ‘obsessed’ with the rumour ended up bringing it to his attention.

Styles said: “He’s completely obsessed with it. He won’t stop sending me messages about [people] trying to work out if I’m bald.”

After confirming again that he wasn’t bald, he added: “What is it with baldness?… It skips a generation or something, right? If your grandad’s bald then you’ll be bald?

“Well, my granddad wasn’t bald, so fingers crossed.”

TMZ recently shared snaps of the star at the U2 Las Vegas Sphere concert rocking the shaved head.

May those curls rest in peace.

Fans absolutely lost it on X as they compared him to Sid from Toy Story.

One even spiralled: “Delete this please there are a lot of people asking you to delete this, please delete it I’m begging you there are people passing out, there are people crying delete it please delete please there are people feeling sick with this everyone is asking you to delete.”

Another even compared him to his former bandmate: “He tryna be Zayn so bad.”

Others simply ranted: “HELPPP OMG.”

As his fanbase couldn’t seem to contain themselves, one slammed: “Harry’s shaved head making more noise than some people’s music.”

Who knew a buzzcut could cause so much buzz?
