Harry Styles gives Union J’s George Shelley some good advice

 

As a former X Factor contestant himself, Harry Styles has offered up his boy band wisdom to new kid on the block George Shelley from Union J.

So what advice did Harry have for George? Did he share his secrets on how to deal with fame, or how wisely invest money? Er, no. Harry’s advice for fellow curly haired boy bander George was, “never cut your hair”.

“Harry and George swapped numbers after the meeting as the two groups are bound to start bumping into each other around the scene,” a source tells The Mirror.

“Harry sees a lot of himself in George, so wanted to pass on a jokey text revealing his own secret, which is why he told him to never cut his curls because he reckons his hair is what makes him such a hit with the ladies.

“George was laughing and showed the text to a couple of people, but I’d say there’s no way he’ll be going for any drastic haircuts from now on.”

We’re guessing this is advice that Harry has never passed on to The Wanted’s Max George.
