In keeping with the rest of his bandmates - bar curly haired Harry Styles - Zayn appears to have opted for a more Justin Bieber-esque swept forward style.

THEY'VE barely learnt their times tables, but ONE DIRECTION are already living the high life in LA.
The X Factor stars, who came third to MATT CARDLE and REBECCA FERGUSON in the ITV1 show, spent their first day across the pond splashing their cash in the shops.
ZAYN, LOUIS, LIAM, NIALL and HARRY have hit the USA for a series of meetings with music moguls and big producers.
Reality TV pal CHER LLOYD showed them the ropes, having had a headstart in California.
The pint-sized rapper is already recording her debut album there, frantically tweeting about her run-ins with LIL WAYNE, and LADY GAGA producer RED ONE.
The group hit outdoor mall The Grove with their chum and vocal coach SAVAN KOTECHA.
They stocked up on clothes from Abercrombie And Fitch.
Cheeky Louis even rocked a T-shirt with a bold message for CHERYL COLE. It read: 'Cheryl call me....x'.

Despite coming third on last year's X Factor, One Direction have remained firm favourites with the teenage fanbase whose parents refused to allow them to vote for the umpteenth time during the boys' time on the hit show.
The following Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan garnered during their time on the show was insane and encouraged their mentor, Simon Cowell to sign them up once the show was over.
And now the fivesome have followed Cher Lloyd across the Atlantic to Los Angeles, to start work on their debut album.
Louis took to Twitter to tell his fans of their trip, writing: “So excited to be in L.A will tweet pictures when I can :) xx”
The group looked excited and in disbelief as they arrived in Los Angeles. Not bad for five teenagers!
The boys haven't got long in LA as they will be back in the UK to perform in the X Factor live tour which kicks off on February 19.
Are you heading to any of the dates?

WHILE X Factor pal CHER LLOYD seeks attention with new tattoos, ONE DIRECTION do it with T-shirts.
HARRY STYLES stepped out in Liverpool with a declaration of love for bandmate LOUIS TOMLINSON emblazoned on his chest.
The grey top was printed with both their first names, separated by a red heart.
When the boys hit LA in January, 19-year-old Louis also got in on the action.
The cheeky chappy boldly wore a white top with 'Cheryl, call me.... x' on it.
My guess is she didn't.

One Direction raking cash
They didn’t even win the XFactor, coming third, and they’ve yet to release a CD but boyband One Direction featuring our very own Irish lad Niall Horan are already raking in the cash. Simon Cowell has signed them up and it appears they received a gesture of £8,000 (€9,321) already with the label investing over £2 Million into the band.
It’s espected the band will get floods of endorsement offers that will further enhance their bank accounts – a number of computer games and fashion houses are said to be interested in using the popular band in their advertising campaigns. They’re currently in L.A., shopping til they shop, and working with some top music producers.

Cardle has been forced to change his phone number after fellow X Factor contestants One Direction accidently let his number slip through Twitter.
The boyband were chatting in a live web chat and proceeded to let fans hear a voicemail message without realising it contained the digits of Matt’s phone number. Matt ended up receiving thousands of missed calls, voicemails and texts.
A source told The Sun: “Matt woke to hundreds of missed calls. He thought something serious had happened.”
However Matt took it all in good jest according to the insider. “He spoke to the lads and had a laugh.” the source added.

X Factor: One Direction booted out of health club!
January 19th, 2011 by Sarah.
Last year’s X Factor finalists, boy band One Direction, were apparently ordered to leave an up market health club and spa yesterday after “dive bombing” into the swimming pool.
The Sun adds that the band were staying in the Richmond Hill Hotel in south west London which adjoins the health club, and once fans knew where they were, they caused a ruckus at the hotel too.
The paper quotes a source from the hotel as saying, “The fans were banging on doors at 3am…
“Unfortunately, most guests were businessmen staying in the hotel for a conference and they weren’t best pleased.”
