Fans of Harry Styles, a British singer and former boy band One Direction member, reacted in disbelief to his new hairstyle.

The 29-year-old Grammy Award winner posted a selfie on his Instagram on 15 November showing his well-loved brunette locks gone. Daily Mail reported that the shaved head was confirmed the following day when he launched his new Pleasing fragrance line in London.

One disappointed fan in a comment demanded that he grow his hair back "in 48 hours."

Or he could wear a wig as long as it's not the one that Nigerian Helen Williams painstakingly put together in 11 days.

In any case, wearing the very long wig that cost Williams two million naira or $2,500 would not be practical. It would require a portion of a highway to lay down the 1,000 bundles of hair, as she did on 7 July, so that it could be measured for the Guinness World Record.

The GWR announced last week that Williams's handmade wig is a world record for its 351.58-meter length.

The wig is displayed in Williams's office so people can come and gawk at her record-setting effort, BBC reported.
