Zayn Malik is sporting a new hairdo yet again, but this time, it doesn't involve any hair at all. He's gone ahead and shaved his head COMPLETELY bald.

Yes, really.

The 24-year-old British singer's mom, Trisha Malik posted a photo on Instagram posing with a VERY bald Zayn and his girlfriend, Gigi Hadid. They were celebrating Eid-al Adha, a Muslim holy festival that's celebrated around the world, along with Hadid's mom, Yolanda Hadid. And by the looks of it, Gigi approves.

❤️❤️❤️

From man buns to mohawks, Malik has experimented with his hair many times. He's even shaved his head plenty of times before, but this is his first full bald look.

But this new hair evolution shocked his fans quite a bit, and they've been mourning his long, dark, lustrous hair on the Twitterverse.

While many are just hoping speculating it's a bald cap, at least we can rest easy knowing it's only hair, and it's Zayn's hair, so it will grow back pretty soon.

In the meantime, keep flaunting that smooth, oh-so-shiny head, Zayn.
