--- --- # One Direction's Harry Styles Showcases His Dramatic Hair Evolution In Three New Magazine Covers  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Sep 26, 2016 5:29 PM UTC  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Sep 26, 2016 5:29 PM UTC Ever since British boy band One Direction’s [split a year ago](http://time.com/4007938/one-direction-split-break-up-hiatus/?iid=sr-link1), heartthrob (and de facto frontman) Harry Styles has dabbled in movie roles and [signed a solo music contract](http://time.com/4381224/harry-styles-one-direction-solo-record-deal/?iid=sr-link1). But he’s finally putting himself back in the spotlight with the reveal of not one but three new magazine covers for _Another Man_ magazine, accompanied by an interview by — wait for it — rock legend [Paul McCartney himself](http://time.com/4447076/paul-mccartney-kanye-west-andy-warhol-interview/?iid=sr-link3), the original Britpop boy-bander-turned-successful-solo-artist. (Comedian Chelsea Handler also conducted the interview, for reasons that remain unclear.) But the most important part of this reveal is the evolution of Styles’s iconic locks. [Once long and flowing](http://time.com/4321765/harry-styles-cut-hair-one-direction/?iid=sr-link4), he has since chopped them, perhaps for his role in Christopher Nolan’s [upcoming war epic _Dunkirk_](http://time.com/4440143/dunkirk-trailer-christopher-nolan/?iid=sr-link3). The photo shoots for _Another Man_, however, appear to have taken place over an extended period of time, giving us the definitive three-stage history of Styles’ styles. First, there’s his classically disheveled long-hair look, one which fans know, love, and have mourned: Then there’s a mid-phase bowl cut, in which the uncanny Mick Jagger resemblance is made undeniable: And finally we get a look at the short-shorn present. All three covers, it’s worth noting, feature some intriguing fashion: belts-as-chokers, a mohair sweater, and that Fair Isle turtleneck give the trifecta a distinctly punk-ish 70s vibe. The interview is out on Sept. 29, at which point we will finally discover Chelsea Handler chatting with two of rock-pop’s greats.
