Celebrating the launch of his Pleasing fragrance Harry Styles hard-launched his new haircut - and we aren't mad at it.

A Harry Styles hair frenzy began when the pop culture page Deux Moi posted an anonymous submission of Harry with a buzz cut at a U2 concert with his girlfriend Taylor Russell. But the storm has been calmed by Harry hard-launching his new hair 'do - and it's really not as bad as most thought it would be.

Harry celebrated the release of his new Pleasing fragrance with friends in London, and to commemorate the event the brand posted Harry at its launch. This was the first official pic of Harry debuting his shaved head.

When it was just a rumour that Harry had had chopped off his luscious locks a lot of fans were spiralling, completely distraught at this new change.

However amongst the noise there were a few championing his new look. And now, with a legit, clear picture of Harry with short hair, he's managed to win people over. We took to X to ask what people thought of the hair reveal, and the responses might surprise you...

According to The Standard a fan has said that they bumped into Harry's mum, Anne Twist, in IKEA and asked her why he chopped his hair off. Talking on TikTok the fan, called Maddie, said she asked Anne: "Has Harry shaved his head?”

Anne reportedly replied: “Yes.” Maddie continued: “My dad then said, ‘Is it for a film or is it just for a change?’”

The fan claimed Harry's mum simply replied: “It's because he's on a holiday, he fancied a change.”
