His curly locks made him irresistible to millions of teenagers when he first rose to fame with One Direction.
But now his fans are wondering if Harry Styles might have had some help and had a hair transplant.
Photos of Styles when he started in the pop industry at the age of 16, after auditioning solo on The X Factor in 2010, show a full head of tumbling locks.
However, as he got older, Styles watchers noticed that his hairline seemed to be moving in the wrong direction, identifying a significant widow’s peak.
Now 30, he’s photographed at fashion events with Anna Wintour and Salma Hayek and – hey presto! – his hairline looks strangely restored.
Dr. Zayn Khalid, a cosmetic doctor with a clinic in London’s Mayfair, said: ‘He has grown his hair but it looks very different from before.
‘In previous photographs he had quite significant frontotemporal recession. But now it’s not as bad as it used to be.
“You can see his hairline was significantly worse. So if he hasn’t had a transplant, he has had some form of hair loss medication because his hairline is significantly better.”

Styles’ fans started speculating after the pop hunk underwent a buzz cut last November – men often shave off their hair before undergoing a transplant.
One fan said last week: ‘When he buzzed his hair I knew a transplant was coming. Whoever did this is a genius because it made a difference, but not so much that we would all notice it.’
Another said: ‘I’m 99 per cent sure he’s had a transplant – that’s obvious. You can’t tell me he didn’t shave his head for aesthetic purposes. I support the transplant 100 percent.”
And another fan said: ‘That new transplant is doing wonders for Harry – I’m obsessed.’
If his fans are right, Styles isn’t the first celebrity to invest in the treatment. Actor James Nesbitt and footballer Wayne Rooney have both undergone transplants.
Rooney, now 39, tweeted in 2011: ‘Just to confirm I’ve had a hair transplant. I went bald when I was 25, why not? I am happy with the result.’
And in 2017, Cold Feet star Nesbitt, 59, said in an interview with Radio Times that he had undergone several procedures and that they had benefited his career.
