Former One Direction member Zayn Malik has changed his hair colour to blonde.

In a photograph that he posted on the social media on Thursday, the British singer was shirtless and looked away from the camera. Malik showed off his blonde hair, which is contrasting with his scruffy black beard, reports aceshowbiz.com.

The photograph also gave his fans a look at his tattoos on his shoulders which included image of skull, word "Friday?" and Arabic letters.

The image came just a day before rumoured girlfriend and model Gigi Hadid reportedly invited him to her family's Christmas celebration.
