One Direction fans across the world are mourning the loss of Harry Styles’s hair after he chopped his beloved curls off in the name of charity.

The singer’s hair is a sensation amongst 1D fanatics yet he made the inspiring decision to donate his locks to Little Princess Trust.

Harry broke the news over Instagram, sharing a photo of a tuft of his brown wavy hair, captioning the photo: “Whoops.”

Pretty soon #RIPHarrysHair had taken over social media as fans expressed mixed reactions over the loss of their idol’s curls.

The star is yet to reveal a selfie sporting his new shorter hair but the internet has a theory it would look something similar to Harry circa 2013…

Little Princess Trust provides free real hair wigs to boys and girls across the UK and Ireland who’ve lost their own hair through cancer treatment.

The charity thanked the 22-year-old for supporting their #HairToSpare campaign.

“We are grateful to anyone who decides to do good things for us. Harry Styles’s high profile however helps raise awareness about the charity too,” they said.

“He reached out to the trust because he wanted to support us – what an endorsement from someone so popular!”
