He goes on to flip his hair back and forth to show off the old-new look, and admits to his fans: "I'm starting to realize what has been missing."

In the caption, the singer wrote: "Yep, all is finally right again…" and he promptly sparked a heated debate among fans as they divided themselves into team mullet or team no mullet.
