We regret to inform you on this otherwise perfectly average Friday that Harry Styles, he of the long, majestic locks, has gotten a haircut.

Mere minutes ago, he Instagrammed a photo of said glorious locks in a ponytail, detached from his head.

Whoops. #Littleprincesstrust

There is good news, however — his hashtag reveals that he's donated his hair to the Little Princess Trust, a UK charity that provides real hair wigs for children undergoing cancer treatments. As long has Harry's hair exists on the head of someone, somewhere, all is well.
