[Request] Can we have more race-specific hairstyles?

[HyoMinPark]

I can't say I agree with racially-locked hairstyles. There are several Hyur/Au Ra hairstyles I would love to see on Miqo'te. I understand wanting to Miqo'te ears to not look pasted on atop the head, but I don't like the idea of locking more hairstyles behind a specific race. I'd rather have them all open for more options and variety amongst all races. Inevitably, there will be the one or two races that get favored more for personalized hairstyles, and the rest will be ignored/get less amazing versions.

No, because race-lock hairstyles of all things to emphasise lore & and tailor-made (no, I do not consider the bun style "tailor-made," they were just meatballs slapped on) really don't hurt anyone. I really don't see why it should. It's not as though they'll give a general look that everyone wants to one specific race. For instance, one of the Au Ra femme cuts has extra little horns. While yes, it is a nice cut, it wouldn't make sense for any other race to have it culturally or even visually. Thereare dozens of neutral hairstyles and only a handful of race specific hairstyles per race/gender. With the fact they'll continue to make neutral hairstyles, it really shouldn't hurt anyone to have a few more race locked styles. I don't even understand why allowing those who want just a few more is such a big deal.

If I may, some of the racially locked hairstyles could not be particularly considered part of the race's lore. For example, I understand the Au Ra styles with the horns, but what about the Hime haircut they have? What about the ponytail hairstyles specific to Highlander's and Midlanders? I don't see how those are "lore appropriate". Why can't Miqo'te have a Hime cut, or a ponytail with curling strands, or side fringes? Some of the racially locked hairstyles do not seem to have any justification lore-wise to them.

How would you propose making lore-wise hairstyles for races other than Au Ra? I can't think of any that would truly define Elezen, or truly define Miqo'te or Roegadyn or Lalafell.
