Why are some hair styles race restricted?

Seriously why?

If a hyur tries to get a Miqote bobcut does the universe implode?

You can get that haircut on Lalafell and Elezen too.

Heck if I know. I'm still wondering why the dreads are female-only.

I'm still jealous of ya'll ponytail! Something about the Hyur ponytail I like D: Anyways on topic they've been gradually unrestricting them, so I'm sure you'll get it soon? I hope because it would make sense ;s

I'm still wondering why you can't dye or craft in inn rooms.

Or more related to the topic, why female elezens have a bald hairstyle, but males don't unless things have changed.

Ohhh, the nitpicky design choices that SE has made...I could rant for days. It's the small things that will drive me insane.

in the case of miqo'te hairstyles, it's because the design is completely different from other races due to the ears.
But in general, the hairstyles have to be designed individually for each race, which takes time. Considering deadlines and how they seem to have a policy of one or two new hairstyles per patch, it's most likely a time constraint thing.
Believe me, it's NOT as simple as sticking a new haircut onto another race. They have to be sized, proportioned, and tested. Moreover, some hairstyles interact with headwear and bodywear. While they seem to have just thrown up their hands when it comes to clipping with some armor, they need to make sure it's not TOO jarring.

OMFG yes please. I have begged for this style for my highlander before every update. Its crazy, its a midlander style. I'm a highlander, same damn race.

Lalafell and Miqo'te share a lot of hair styles so I don't think this is true any more.

Jenlyns is midlander though, he is pretty small.

Because it's noisy.
How can fellow patrons sleep at night through all of the twinkling and explosions when you sew?
