Amid sobs and general hysteria, members of the One Direction fandom joined together to wish Zayn well, and controlled the majority of Twitter’s trending topics for the day. To join in on wishing (arguably) the hottest boyband member happiness, we’ve created a list of all the times his immaculate hair made us swoon.
