Harry Styles’ mum Anne Twist hit out at trolls who have shown ‘negativity’ towards the singer on Friday after he debuted a shaved head.
The superstar, 29, sent fans into meltdown last week when he showed off his new buzz cut on a night out with his rumoured girlfriend Taylor Russell, sparking a global frenzy over the loss of his beloved curls.
And it seems the reaction has left his mum, Anne, baffled as she admitted she ‘doesn’t get’ the reaction, especially as Harry is kind and inclusive.’
Sharing a photo of the singer, with his new hair cut, to Instagram, she wrote: ‘When you consider that H has a legacy of kindness and inclusion, has always made every effort to make everyone feel seen and appreciated for exactly who they are.
‘There’s an irony in the negativity he’s been shown for having a haircut. Sorry but I don’t get it.’

As one of the world’s biggest stars, it is perhaps no surprise that Harry‘s latest attempt to achieve some anonymity didn’t quite go to plan.
But the reaction was a far cry from the singer’s initial intention – which was to try out a new look in the hope of bagging himself a ‘few weeks or months’ of anonymity.
‘Harry was looking for some anonymity,’ a source told DailyMail.com exclusively. ‘If shaving his head gets some people to not notice him for a few weeks or months, that’s about the best-case scenario.
‘That was his initial reason for doing it, but now that he has been found out, it is business as usual. It was good while it lasted, and it can grow back very quickly, so he isn’t bothered by the new look. He just wishes it lasted longer and people didn’t know.’
Harry shocked fans the world over when he was spotted with a shaved head while watching U2 at Las Vegas‘ new Sphere venue last week with actress Taylor, 29.
The image was shared by gossip site DeuxMoi, with the singer soon trending on social media.
A video then emerged of the Watermelon Sugar hitmaker looking happy and relaxed as he spent time with Taylor, placing a protective hand on her shoulder as they enjoyed the concert at the $2.3 billion venue.
The pair, who were first rumoured to be dating back in June, are said to be ‘having a good time’.
