By now, you may have already heard of Harry Styles' hair chopping antic. He has said goodbye to his long lustrous hair and has donated it to the charity. Legions of fans are now clamoring for a public appearance to see his new hairstyle.

It all started when the 22-year-old One Direction member posted a picture of his hand holding what appears to be a lock of his hair. His Instagram post with title "Whoops. #Littleprincesstrust" has now garnered over 1.7 million likes and about 400,000 comments.

He has gone pretty much incognito after that. It is evident on social media that his fans demand him to show his short hair glory. It seems that Styles is keeping the look a secret for now.

Rumors have it that Styles also did it to possibly prepare himself for his first acting role. For the past two years, he has maintained a rough patch of wavy hair.

Now, with the age of technology, you know how quick it is to relay pictures of celebrities during their unguarded moments. A disc jockey, Angus O'Loughlin happened to catch Styles when the singer was running an errand. He snatched the opportunity and took a picture. He then posted the picture on Twitter with the caption, "There it is, ladies and gentlemen. The moment the Internet broke."

Fans went wild and liked the new hairstyle. The new do gave him a clean boy image without losing his boy band persona.

Fans of the young heartthrob who would really like to see Harry Style before he "formally debuts" his hairstyle to the public, here is the Twitter post by O'Loughlin.

Styles was discovered in The X-Factor UK, a show popularized by Simon Cowell. Although he and his band mates - named One Direction - did not win the contest, they have been enjoying worldwide success.
