So Disappointing. None of the Hair are very unique and there so much better hair from the Contest. Did they not chose it because of Clipping issue?
Dig the afros but not sure how I feel about mutton chops on female characters.
7.8/10, too many waves.
I'm curious how the contest winner will end up looking in-game, though.
Hope they are in the character creator (Unlike FF13/Gold Saucer hairs) so I can try them on my alts without using fantasia :3
These aren't the winning styles though? :/

Dat afro...
In a month on all servers:

At the very least ! we arn't gonna see everyone with the new hairtsyles ! only few who got very bad taste XD
and most of them will have a clipping issue with most of the headgears.
Well, I love my hair and I suppose it'll continue to be my favorite style, but I think these new hair styles look awesome :)
I really hope that short style for men isn't exclusive to roegadyn...
I don't think they've ever introduced a race specific hairstyle in a patch, have they? If anything they've made some of them available to other races.
Seems so, I wonder if they're going to end up delaying the competition hairstyles.
I'm so curious to see how the male winning hairstyle will look ingame, probably going to be my new look!
Nice, liking the female one with bangs.
I'm not excited about any of them. The new female one is indeed a little different, but not terribly so. I would have figured they could have come up with a few wider range having played a lot of other games where you can choose hair styles. Also, the afro texture looks like soap suds. :P
I'm not really a fan of the new hairstyles
Are these the ones that won from the contest?
Are these available for all races?
They always would. Remember the long one with the bangs came out for Miqote first, the one with the braid in the back was for Elezen first, that weird Skrillx (or whatever his name is) hair was first for Femroe..and so forth. Then after another patch they'd give the hair to everyone. Really hope they aren't doing this anymore.
Not a fan. Look kind of plain and boring.
I really don't understand what people expect with hairstyles, the female ones don't look like anything we have in game as far as I'm aware, and the Male Miqo'te hairstyle looks completely original in this game, but a little dated in terms of real hairstyles. Anyway, what do you guys expect really? Extravagant and odd hairstyles with half the head shaved and the other spiked up to look like an anime character? I genuinely want to know what kind of hairstyles you guys want in the game, unless not personally liking it = not unique.
Hm, my bad then. Well one can only hope that they don't do something silly like that again, the female hairstyle seems to be cross-race (or at least a different version of it) so I it may be the same for the male one... but they did only show it on on Roe so who knows.
I'm not asking for crazy hairstyles, just something that doesn't look like what we have in game already. If you'd like, I can hunt down the original competition thread and pull some that I think would have added more variety, but per your earlier comment you don't want this turning into a "THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN PICKED INSTEAD" thread, which I understand.
Females already have a medium length style that looks pretty darn close to the new one we're getting. Sure, the new one is wavy and comes with removable bangs, but that doesn't change the fact it's still a very similar style.
That's what they've actually done during all but one of the 2.x patches. They release a new hairstyle for one of the races, and the hairstyle from last patch is made available to all other races. The only exception is when they released the Hyur-specific hairstyle (the long male hair with the band across the forehead, and the female dreads) -- it was only available to highlander hyur, not midlanders.
So the only race that hasn't received a temporarily restricted hairstyle is midlander hyur. I'm still waiting for that one, and I'm not even playing midlander ^^;
But it seems they've ceased that now, since the hairstyles released in the last patch before HW was made available to all races from the get-go. (I guess they figured they'd given all races their chance to be a special snowflake... poor midlanders ;_; )
And I agree with OP about the texture on the afros O.o I'm not too keen on that hairstyle to begin with, but... It kinda looks like they're wearing a really thick knitted/woolen cap D:
Now that we're getting an afro, I think it's time we start a mullet petition!

(I'm joking.)
Omg! I love the hairstyle for the female; it's exactly what I'm looking for! Totally going to put that on my character :D
I do remember some of the older hairstyles from that thread for posting ones that didn't get in, but to be honest all the nicer ones were fairly long and looked good due to the artist's skills. I have now learnt that unless it's an incredibly simple hairstyle we're going to get sheep fleece on our head so most of the more complex ones wouldn't work... or at least ones that aren't just a straight flow of hair (hair textures are really terrible in this game).
But hey, PS3 limitations.
I don't really think the female hairstyles look too similar to what we have now, I won't be using it regardless (probably). I know of two on the Female Miqo'te, the one with the hair band the medium length one (I don't know what people call it). Neither of those are similar to me.
no matter what they release for new hairstyles (with the exception of the afro) will in someway have similarities to something we have available already. unless of course they give us the option to go bald. lets just be happy we are getting more options. smile once in a while and the world will seem brighter
I kinda like the new female styles. I might try the bangs version on my character.
The afro looks ridiculous. It doesn't even look like an afro, more like a tumbleweed. I will never sport this horrible look.
I was just hoping for a shorter no bang style without looking super poofy/awkward or a bun/ponytail option with some flair. I wish some of the other race hairstyles were available to Au'ra
True - if you look at all the races and genders. But personally, I find there's quite a lack of available spiky cuts (Lightning doesn't count) for female Miqo'te, especially longer ones. Although that probably goes for females in general. The males got all the goodies there!
I'd be happy just having the male hairstyles converted for female.
