Hey, Squeenix, it's great that practically every major content patch we get one or two new hairstyles, but looking at the whole recent collection, I'd love to see more distinct silhouettes among them, especially now that the most recent "Saintly" was the last runner up from the Hairstyle contest added.

Don't get me wrong, I think they are great, but most of them are a variation of short very straightened hair.
It would be awesome if in the future we could get more curly and wavy hairstyles! And also more long ones. Or simply just styles that can bring shapes and lengths that we haven't seen a lot.
Edit: My bad, it seems that the last hairstyle runner up from the contest is missing... But my point doesn't change! :P

This is the example of a short hairstyle that doesn't have any similar (recent) silhouette, and would be a great addition. -

Expecting I'll get blasted for saying this, but I certainly do not mean to offend anyone with these certain words...but... I would love to see more masculine hairstyles added, because it seems to be that most of the recent hairstyles that have been added are vastly more feminine in appearance. Sure, we got the one new style added by default with Shadowbringers that looks like we just got out of the shower, but I can't think of anything else that's been added lately that's more suited for male characters than female. I'm sure this is because 98% of the people play female characters, so I should probably just stop hoping for anything at this point. Anyway, this goes for short or long styles, as most of the long styles are definitely geared more towards female characters, there are definitely ways of styling long hair to look more masculine than feminine that I would like to see too.

I keep saying, we need both - more actually short and longer hair, of varying hair types. Everyone is tired of bob cuts

What we have now, what is available to us, is incredibly stale and boring and the contest winners just ain't doing it for me. They really ought to make every single hairstyle available to everyone at some point because there are definitely some male hairstyles that I would like my female to wear.Quote:

As much as I would love to see a lot more longer hairstyles, I don't expect them because of clipping problems. More shoulder length styles instead of the usual chin length should be possible though.
Also, the female to male character ratio isn't nearly that bad. If we exclude Viera and Hrothgar because they're genderlocked and can't use most of these hairstyles, it's about 60% female and 40% male. -

I'm just bored with mid-length anime extra spikes. At least do something different. I'd prefer extra-long hair like Ysayle or Gaia, but anything that isn't just more spikes.
(Also, obligatory complaint about limited Viera hair. Someone was gonna do it, might as well go first.)
