Fans of Harry Styles aren't overly fond of his new appearance as has been previously reported, but it seems that they really cannot move on. So much so that a closer look at the new 'do is enough to send some cringing.
The 29-year-old "Golden" singer gave fans a closer look at his new hairstyle on Wednesday by sharing an Instagram picture of his freshly trimmed hairstyle with his Pleasing beauty brand.
"Our Founder, Harry Styles, toasts the launch of Pleasing Fragrance with friends in London. November, 2023," reads the caption.
However, comments were disabled right away.
That didn't stop fans from going crazy when they saw a close-up and confirmation of the British star's bald makeover.
One individual tweeted, "Please delete this, I'm literally shaking." Another person said, "Homie looks like he belongs in a fast and furious movie."

A fourth even made the joke that Styles' Pleasing sweater was "made out of the hair he shaved off," while a third insisted that he "Unshave it."
One commenter expressed support for the new beginning by saying, "Yesterday he was looking like a kid and today he's uncle wow."
"He appears completely different, yet stylish," another thoughtful tweet read.
When fans saw a brief peek of the celebrity's shorn head at a U2 performance he attended last week with girlfriend Taylor Russell, they became outraged.
Fans are ecstatic with the news, but Styles' shaving might just be a short-term change of pace before he turns 30 in February.
Over the years, the ex-member of One Direction has experimented with a variety of hairstyles, from shoulder-grazing curls to short, floppy locks.
The lyrics "You grew your hair long" and "From the outside it looks like you're trying lives on" from Taylor Swift's 1989 (Taylor's Version) vault track "Now That We Don't Talk" may have even alluded to Styles' constantly changing mane.
Fans of Swift may possibly have taken inspiration from these lines. Maybe he's just getting ready to start a new year with a fresh perspective.
Styles became well-known due to his membership in One Direction, the wildly popular British boy band. The band became the first British group to debut at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 200 albums list with their first album, "Up All Night," which was published in 2012.
Actually, One Direction was the first band to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 with each of its first four albums.
Forbes reports that One Direction's $290 million tour was the highest-grossing tour of 2014. Styles continued on to start his own solo career following One Direction's 2015 announcement of its break.
The singer's self-titled album made its Billboard 200 debut at number one when it was released in May 2017. "Harry's House," Styles' second solo album, took home the Album of the Year trophy at the 2022 Grammy Awards.
"As It Was," the album's debut track, topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a continuous period of fifteen weeks.
Styles has earned millions by touring as well. According to Billboard, his most recent "Love on Tour" was a two-year tour that concluded in July 2023 and ranked fifth in terms of tour revenue ever.
Over five million tickets were sold globally for the 169-show tour, which brought in $617 million in revenue.
