If it is, why? Aura and Miquote already have ears that intersect hairs and as they showed in the recent artwork stream they even make unique concept art for the lalafell/elezen helmets and miquote helmets to account for their ears...
Unfortunately it's kind of just an illusion that we have a lot of styles. Of the 17 total, there are only actually 8 unique shapes. Not sure how that stacks up to the other races... but we actually even have a style with three variations on the exact same general hair shape. One adds a tiny bit of bangs, the other adds that metal 'helmet' (the only other difference on the helmet one being it seems to have very slightly more volume?? It's almost unnoticeable though). Every other style is doubled with a slight variation.

And the style I'm using clips pretty badly into our shoulder while idling xP Luckily most gear hides that pretty well but it is kinda funny seeing a spike just poke out of my collarbone sometimes.

Compare to the 51 total hairstyles I can use on fem Miqo'te. Only 6 of which are duplicates if I'm counting correctly... I see one style with four variations, and three with two variations (headband style, Y'shtola style, pigtails, and the long one that comes with optional bangs).

So 8 "unique" styles vs. 45 - and that's at character creation, not the aesthetician.
