Zayn Malik revealed his brand-new haircut alongside an extremely rare photograph taken inside his recording studio.

Zayn Malik debuted his new cornrows hairstyle on Thursday, April 6, when he posed for photos with producer Daniel Zaidenstadt.

Malik made his first public appearance in a significant amount of time with his brand-new hairstyle, as reported by the Daily Mail.

The former member of One Direction, who is now 30 years old, struck a comical pose with his producer while wearing a black T-shirt and dressing casually.

Daniel also thanked Malik on Instagram, writing, “Zayn hooked me up with his own design for my new DJ project.” Malik was the recipient of this gift.

The photographs were taken after rumors circulated that Malik was dating Selena Gomez.
