Harry Styles revealed he'd cut off his lengthy locks, his legion of fans have been busy mourning his hair.

A selection of hilarious memes and distraught posts sprung up on social media as fans tried to come to terms with the One Direction singer's major makeover.

Harry, 22, posted a photo on Friday evening teasing the big change, with the snap showing the star holding his cut off ponytail while giving a thumbs up.
