Then set the max so it cannot be "too large". Having sliders != having higher max...
It's like being able to pick between 0 / 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 or [0].........|..........[4] in 0.2 increments or something.

People have requested more hairstyles from the get-go. 6 hairstyles in an MMO (for one race, this one being the most popular) is not going to cut it.
I like individuaility, and only having 6 to choose from is sad to say the least. Where are longer hairstyles? Why don't races share some of the same hairstyles? Come on SE, give us more to choose from.
I would honestly say the starting number of hairstyles is ok. They could add maybe 2-4 more for hen the game is released at the start of character creation. However there are multiple ways in which people could "earn" new hairstyles to customize their characters through say a haircut lol. Some new hairstyles could be unlocked through achievements, dungeons, mini-games, grand company ranks, etc. I think it would be wiser to limit the amount of customization at the start since when one has to much to start with it can be overwhelming to get what you may want, however if stuff is slowly added later on with the option to earn/customize your character with at the cost of gil, then players can slowly become more and more diverse with different hair styles and maybe even new options for hair color and such.
I have to say: if you like individuality, don't play a Miqo'te. :P And for the record, if you went through the Lalafell character creator, you'd look at the Miqo'te one and go "Hey, no fair, why do they get so many hairstyles??"
This is only the Alpha version, they likely will release more hairstyles in Beta, and for sure with ARR release.
Don't play MMOs at all if you like Individuality, because it's guaranteed someone will pick the same hairstyle, color and facial features as you because that's just how probability works.
Even in PSO2 which is Japan's most customizable MMO so far you still run into duplicates in some fashion.
