Like how they said the viera would not be able to wear head gear, not even glasses on the npcs. They didn't go "well, we can at least make glasses easily work on viera so lets let them have those in the mean time and not give HROTHGAR anything". Nope, they didn't seperate their options for that. .

For the hair I see no reason to not think its the same. As in, even if we think it's easy to just make the hair work for Viera I think its not gonna happen unless it happens for both. As it stands neither have the option for none racial hair and to give one all the shared hair styles the other would have to be given the same or something as well.
This doesn't really explain why hrothgar have hairstyles tied to faces while viera do not. In this aspect they are not treated as a package deal. At least for the benchmark they have deliberately given hrothgar more restrictive hair options, while viera have been given the standard (which is more flexible) method of choosing hair.

Hrotghar have 4 Faces with 2 hairstyles each = 8 BUT you can had bits to them with Facial Features making it 16 hairstyles.
But it doesn't feel like sixteen hairstyles because you can't have each of them for every face. You can say au ra have a choice of four horn styles, but if a player only likes one face then that's going to feel like they have a choice of one horn style. Separating horns from faces is frequently requested. Players don't like it. Tying hairstyles to faces is even worse than this.
