Niall Horan is distinct in two ways: first, he's the lone Irishman in One Direction, and second, he's the only blond member of the boy band. His towheaded locks are always done up in a pointed crown of spikes, and we got curious to see what Niall would look like without his usual 'do... specifically, his bandmate Liam Payne's hairdo.

Liam's short buzz cut actually doesn't look half bad on the 1D guitarist/singer. He can definitely pull of the hot, military look, if only he was dressed the part too! Maybe for Halloween in the near future?

Fun fact: It may feel weird seeing Niall with brown hair, but he's actually a natural brunette -- he started dying his hair blond when he was 12.
