Known for having signature long hair flipped over to one side, Styles was spotted out in Italy this weekend sporting what appears to be a bowl cut-type hairstyle with very short front layers. He was also seen with new facial hair, too.

A day later, the singer and actor covered up his new haircut with a hat while taking selfies with fans:

It's not the first time one of Styles's haircuts has sent his fans into a meltdown. Back in 2017 he trimmed his hair to star in the Christopher Nolan World War II film Dunkirk. “I assumed when auditioning for a [movie] based in World War II I’d probably have to have a trim," he told E News at the time. “It was a little breezy behind the ears, which was nice."

Fans have been taking to Twitter to express their thoughts on his latest chop:

Some fans didn't understand all the commotion. After all, it's just hair:

In 2015, Styles spoke about his love for a man bun on the Alan Carr show alongside his other One Direction members. He said it took over a year to grow his hair long enough to tie into a bun—which then takes two seconds to secure. See the interview here:
