One Direction's gravity defying hair took New York by storm yesterday. One of their magically materialised American fans, who opted to hold a modified road sign aloft didn't quite seem to grasp the meaning behind the group's name…

It doesn't refer to a One Direction road system, it's more a One Direction wind system. Look, all their hair has been blown dramatically to their right. Niall did try to mix things up a bit with some shamrock zogabongs, but nothing was going to move that gruaig (that's Irish for 'hair' dear UK readers).

One direction wind tunnels aside; the power of hair styles, tight pants and Simon Cowell are never to be underestimated. And it's not just teenage girls who are hypnotised by the heady cocktail; they even managed to lure a middle aged man in a hoodie to watch their performance yesterday. Although he might have come for Harry Style's Level 2 Blue Steel pose.
