    Any bald haircuts from the aesthetician?

    I'm IC'ly about to go on a pilgrimage of eorzea (OOCly I want to go back and do all the yellow quests to clear them off the map). Part of this is become a PGL/MNK, and wander the world helping people, but I'd like to shave my head to complete the look.

    Is there a modern aesthetic somewhere that could let me do so? Otherwise I may have to fanta back into female elezen to get that awesome shaved head look.

    The race-specific ones are your only option. It wouldn't work as a global option because it would be weird on Miqo'te.

    I've seen screenshots of bugged Miqo'te without hair. Their ears are floating above their heads. Lol.

    Exactly. They're not set up to allow for it and they need some amount of hair to cover the join to their ears.

    This is going to blow your mind, but the entire character is fake! They might look like a living breathing cat-human-hybrid-thing, but they're a hollow illusion of paper-thin polygons and if you get the camera wedged in at the right angle, you can see the inside of their face!

    Even worse, so is your character! And so is mine! We're all living a lie!

    ...

    But yeah, obviously they're real ears for the character, but the 3D model representing the character does not have the ears directly attached to the head. The skin-coloured inner ear floats above the head as part of the base model, and the furry outer ear is part of the hairstyle which fills in the gap between the two.

    Something to note is that it doesn't seem to be a custom from the few Gyr Abanian monks we've seen (mainly Widargelt), that being the variety of monk that we can play as, but you could still make up your own lore about it being done by acolytes or something.

    Also I have been looking at making an Elezen alt and while I'm mostly wanting to make use of the prettier race-specific styles, I'm intrigued by they have the shaved head as an option for the women when overall they seem very formal and traditional. Is it a cultural thing for one of the clans? Is there a story behind it? They've never used it for a character to my awareness.

    If I get my alt created (amid my growing collection of them), I may need to at least come up with a "non-canon" glamour using it. I don't think I'd want to use it for her all the time but she does look very striking like that. Quite dependant on the camera angle though.

    Ahh, I am following in the footsteps of a certain old Roe who shaves their head to go on a pilgrimage.

    No idea if there is specific lore around the hairstyle, it does look very striking though, and I don't find it informal.
