Harry Styles shows off his shaved head in promo snap for his fragrances brand - as the new look divides fans

Harry Styles showed off his new shaved head in an image posted on Instagram on Wednesday.

The singer, 29, previously sent fans into meltdown amid claims he had shaved off his long brunette famous locks.

But now the change in look has been confirmed as he posed in a snap to promote his new fragrances line launching on Thursday with his brand Pleasing.

His short hair was clearly visible in the snap as he posed in a casual brown jumper for the post.

The caption read: 'Our Founder, Harry Styles, toasts the launch of Pleasing Fragrance with friends in London. November, 2023.'

Shortly after the image began circulating on Twitter as his fans gave their mixed opinions on the look.

Some loved it as one wrote: 'Looking stylish', while another said: 'Looking good!'

A third wrote: 'Man always looks dapper!'

A fourth said: 'OMG he looks so good', as another said: 'he looks so good bald ya'll just don't get it.'

Others however weren't convinced as one reacted: 'grow it back rn.'

Another penned: 'Not sure about this', while a third wrote: 'Just put it back!'

It comes after last week Harry fans went into meltdown amid claims he has shaved off his famous locks. 

The star began trending on X, formerly Twitter, after gossip site DeuxMoi shared an image of the singer with a buzz cut, claiming he'd been spotted at U2's Las Vegas concert sporting the new hairdo. 

Shocked fans were quick to question if it was real, while others wondered if his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift had anything to do with it. 

Harry and Taylor had a brief romance between 2012 and 2013, during which time she wrote her album 1989, with fans long speculating that some of the songs were about their romance. 

Last week, Taylor released the re-recorded version of her album, which features the track, Now That We Don't Talk (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault), with fans claiming her lyric 'you grew your hair long' in the second verse references Harry's decision to grow out his hair following their split.

Fans shared on X: 'Taylor Swift released 1989 TV with lyrics about Harry Styles saying how she didn’t like how he changed/got long hair after they ended, so he immediately took notes/got a buzzcut!'; 'Taylor Swift gagged Harry Styles so bad he shaved his head. What is this life we're living'/ 

'Harry styles did WHAT to his hair???'; ' Harry styles but no hair to style'; 'I think the world fell apart after harry styles cut off his long hair'; 'I do not buy Harry Styles shaving his hair off. Absolutely not. Not having it.

'Harry styles stick your hair back on right now'; 'Harry styles you have 48 hours to grow your hair out of a buzzcut. less than 48 hours even.'

Taylor recently got fans talking after she branded an unnamed ex-boyfriend - thought to be Harry - a 'lying traitor' in previously unreleased songs on the new version of 1989.

On one of the new songs, Is It Over Now, Taylor hits out at a former partner for being a 'lying traitor' and sleeping with a series of models after they broke up.

On another new song, called 'S**t!', Taylor sings about the public backlash she received for dating an unnamed heartthrob, with many speculating it could be Harry.

She sings: 'I will pay the price you won't / And if they call me a s**t, you know it might be worth it for once / And if I'm going to be drunk I might as well be drunk in love.

'He's waiting there. The sticks and stones they throw froze midair / 'Everyone wants him, that was my crime / The wrong place at the right time . . . I break down and he's ­pulling me in / In a world of boys, he is a gentleman.'

Along with Harry, Taylor has also dated DJ Calvin Harris, guitarist John Mayer, film star Jake Gyllenhaal, actor Joe Alwyn and The 1975's Matty Healy. 

She is currently in a relationship with American footballer Travis Kelce. 

Meanwhile, Harry is dating Canadian actress Taylor Russell. 

The pair were first romantically linked after they were spotted enjoying an art gallery date in London in June.

Since then, the pair have enjoyed various outings together as they take their romance to new heights.

The Watermelon Sugar singer reportedly 'sees a future' and is 'head over heels for Taylor,' a source revealed to Us Weekly last month before noting that he 'loves spending as much time with her as he can'.
