Breaking: Harry Styles chopped off his locks for the best reason ever

 

This afternoon, One Direction’s mane man posted a picture to Instagram that shows a hand (believed to be his own) holding a ponytail (also believed to be his own). But while Directioners everywhere are mourning the loss of his famous flow—#RIPHarrysHair is currently trending on Twitter—we’re actually pretty thrilled with the news because we now have ANOTHER reason to love Harry Styles.

Harry’s caption implies that he donated his gorgeous locks to Little Princess Trust, an English charity that makes real hair wigs for children suffering with hair loss (often caused by cancer treatment). It’s great to see a star like Harry sacrificing his own strands to bring mega attention to this charity—and others like it.

If you want to follow in Harry’s philanthropic footsteps, consider donating your own long locks to a good cause. Here’s a list of charities to check out:

+ Locks of Love
+ Wigs for Kids
+ Pantene Beautiful Lengths

Harry hasn’t revealed his fresh crop quite yet—but we’re sure he’ll look even better than before because, hey, we'll be able to see more of his face. Right? That’s what we’re telling ourselves, anyway. 

What do *you* think of Harry’s big news? Have you ever donated your hair to a charity? Share in the comments!
