Zayn Malik Joins the bearded blub with bold new look

Zayn Malik has made a bold style statement, surprising fans with his dramatic new appearance. 

The singer took to Instagram on Friday, Aug. 23, to unveil his freshly grown-out beard, sideburns, and longer hair. 

Dressed in a cream shirt and matching pants, Malik shared a captivating video of himself performing an acapella version of his song Shoot At Will from his latest album, Room Under the Stairs.

This striking transformation marks a significant departure from Malik's usual style of shorter cropped hair and subtle stubble. 

Fans were quick to react, with one commenting, "Your hair I am dying......," and another expressing surprise with, "I wasn’t ready." Malik's new look has definitely set social media abuzz!

One fan asked, "Give me the haircare routine cause how tf your hair grows that fast," while Malik’s barber, Mike Webb Jr., added a touch in the comments: " Now that's a man that's exploring the world and loyal to his barber." 

In response, another follower urged, " Please don’t cut his hair — we want long-haired Zayn."

This striking transformation follows singer's milestone concert at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire in May. 

At that show, his look was notably more polished as he took the stage for his first-ever solo headlining gig since leaving One Direction in 2015.
