this is very similar to what I had been trying to draw for an entry. I couldn't get my drawing to look the way I wanted so I didn't enter but I must say this is nicely drawn for braid detail.
I want to know how entry number 9 even made it to the final ones without being disqualified? we all know that was completely taken from Final Fantasy 8 Quistis
if that was the case I would have exactly done that and gone with a style they've already created and have in their roster of characters in the FF world.

for male: I was a miqote before the contest ended xD so I was so into making a long samurai themed hairstyle

For femalesince i wasnt female at the time I was having a lot of throughts about the female hairstyle I wanted to go for a serah/messy/long hair while having a high ponytail hairstyle since theres not hairstyle like that But I was hoping that a hairstyle like the one from omgtree could make it to the finals :( since that was my second option for female hairstyle but with bangs

Some of those hairstyles for the female entries were not appealing at all...
Going to point out that #1 looks exactly the same as #14 too. #9 isnt even original... it's Quistis' hair from FF8. and #10 doesn't even have a back view. This contest doesn't even follow it's own rules. D: Judging by this thread it looks like they didn't really look over all the hairstyles.
Here is what I came up with and a couple of extra I didn't bother to submit.

A girl can dream, right?

I never even got any confirmation that they got my picture. Did anyone else get a confirmation?
I would have been perfectly okay with it if they had just used these to vote on. Not a single one from the live letters put in as a finalist? They're all original and different from what we have. Poo!
I´m really sad we dont get curls :((((
So many short or mid Hair but all straight, really sad
I feel we, as a forum, should petition. It is clear that, generally, we are unimpressed by the selections of the finalists. If this is supposed to be geared toward us, then we should let them know, formally, that the choices do not represent our desires effectively. Thoughts?
Really happy i actually got my ugly mug on there :P mines entry no.6, Dont think im winning tho :P
I'm not anywhere close to a decent artist, but here were mine:

Oh! oh man! Yours was one of the ones from the Live Letter, I wanted it to be in the top sooo badly! WE NEED MORE SHORT STYLES! ; ; And this one was one of my top top faves! /sigh
Oh mans!!! I would have loved this one too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ; ;
Pretty sad that mine didn't get through either.
Some of the hairstyles here are way better then the finalists.
Especially when it comes to male hairstyles.

It was the 14 hour one they did for the anniversary on the 21st iirc. I don't have a link to it all, but here is the reddit link to both male and female hairstyles they showed off.

There is a lot of REALLY good hairstyles here! A special shout-out to the chocobo hairstyle on page 1 and all the pompadour hairstyles... (I hope the pompadour one wins!)
I'm especially in love with this one... This game needs some amazing-looking curls like this.
ERMERGERT WHY DID THIS NOT MAKE IT?! WHYYY?! *grovel*
Please note that I didn't draw this - I've just seen it floating around on Tumblr.

I'm sad this one didn't get chosen. It's an adorable punk hairstyle. Oh well.
Here's mine, I wanted to go for something simpler that I felt would fit in with the kinds of styles we already have. I wanted to have another option for a slightly shorter style that avoids the dreaded clipping that was different to the current choice of twintails or a short crop. I thought it might go nicely with the new Moonfire Faire items that seem to be very popular at the moment?

If only I'd known I had a better chance by just straight up copying something from a previous FF game!
I'm a little sad that my designs didn't make it but now that I see the other entries I feel like mine were a little generic.

Was going for a samurai/bishounen look.

I wanted an 80's inspired side-tail, and admittedly a hairstyle that's kinda similar to one of my OCs. I'm glad that some side-tail options did make it, though!
