While many people, celebs included, wait until after the New

Year to get a new hairstyle or change their look, OK! has learned that High

Hairspray star's idea.

"He was getting his hair cut for a production," one witness reveals

to OK!. "And the producers were making him color it. Someone from the

production was with Zac, guiding the stylists through it." According to

that.

"He was really cute, nice and not pretentious at

all," the source adds. "I don't think he's gay either."

As of Monday night, Zac hadn't gone public with the new, darker 'do, but OK! is just dyeing for a peek!
