Harry Styles Has Lopped Off His Locks And People Are Freaking Out

holding up his severed ponytail with the caption, "Whoops."

his hair is being donated to Little Princess Trust.

#6 Everyone’s imaginary boyfriend just got a very real makeover.

Harry Styles will no longer be sporting the man bun we love so much.

#7 Harry has been growing out his hair for what seems like forever,

and his long curly locks were as much a part of his signature look as his skinny jeans and YSL boots. But it looks like Harry is going to be sporting a new look as he's officially made the chop.

#8 Harry isn’t the only celebrity to reveal a dramatic hair makeover.

Gina Rodriguez just chopped and shaved off her long hair for a movie role as well, and Lady Gaga took her signature blonde hair a darker brunette hue.
