I think by now Viera should be able to wear any hat

The ears are a convenient excuse to not having to make all viera hairs have the proper deform every other race has when wearing a hat.

I was thinking the same thing. They can just put your base hair color underneath like they do with some other hairstyles so we could wear some of these hats without insane clipping through some of the huge viera hairstyles.
