    No, I don't think it would be an item. Looking at Hrothgar males you have to ask yourself "whats stopping them from changing hair styles like Viera?".
    When you look at mods that slap different manes on different heads you see that each head is designed to have different ear shapes and sizes as well as differences in foreheads. Some hair styles only clip a lil and some have far more severe clipping issues with that area of the head cause they were designed to suit their proper head. All 4 of the male heads are unique animal like heads and had their manes designed around their head exclusively. This is likely the reason it's a CC option and considered "manes" instead of hair, it's just a thing that's apart of their head.

    Given the art work making the females look to have flatter, bald, more human leaning faces/ heads and the fact that the race is inspired by an animal with clear sexual-dimorphism leads me to think that limitations of the males manes prob wouldn't be reflected in females. Even more so when you realize it's the most controversial and scrutinized decision they made with the new races in ShB.

    So you can call it "wigs" or hair.
    The problem is with viera they bring up the exact same excuse as with hrothgar, "unique heads". Which is, granted, a valid one (for hrothgar). I don't expect as pronounced features as males, but they probably would likely have different shaped heads just as the males. Even if there aren't as many variations in head shape - in comparison to males - AT BEST they would, and should hope for, the same treatment viera females get. At worst, even slight variations in the animal head shape(s) would put them in the same boat as the males.
