“Simon Cowell bans Niall from turning hair black,” blares an article in The Sun, which goes on to claim that One Direction singer “Niall Horan has been told by his boss that he can’t dye his hair black, as Simon fears it will lose the group fans.”

According to a so-called “source” for the tab, “Niall was desperate to get rid of his blond locks and go black just for an experiment, like loads of normal teens,” but after texting Cowell for permission, he received a terse reply of “No way.”

The paper notes that Cowell “still controls a lot about the band down to the finest detail.”

Really?

No.

This never happened, a Cowell source tells Gossip Cop.

And bandmate Harry Styles told BBC Radio that these rumors are “definitely false.”
