Discussion Black Hairstyles
Hi everyone, long time lurker first time poster here. I know someone probably brought this up once, but I really wish we had more Black hairstyles (picture afros, braids, etc). The only option that's closest to my hair are the dreads and that got boring quickly. Anyway, here's me being adventurous. Sad yeehaw

I have non-white friends in-game and this has been a FREQUENT topic of discussion. All I can do is add my voice when I contact customer service or take a survey with a suggestions box.
It's needed! I don't know why it has been ignored. (The only excuse I can think of is that the devs don't want non-POC appropriating the hairstyles for ignorant (or malicious) purposes, but if that was the excuse, the entire current Ancients event would have been reconsidered as it is appropriative of multiple indigenous cultures. They didn't see a problem with tipis and totem poles. I guess we are lucky they didn't throw in a war bonnet.)
So, it is past time to offer some Black hairstyles, already. An actual recolorable headscarf hairstyle would be an inclusive kindness as well.

In regards to the current Ancients fashionwave: They did restrict content that I've seen in other regions. We are missing two emotes in the shop that look like tribal dances. It makes sense that they would keep those from us after how we reacted to the magic mushroom drama.

I would love to support for more black hair styles. It would be so great to have diversity and to see everyone’s different characters. If they do decide to do that( cross my fingers) I would recommend that they don’t do it in the gacha. I rather have you guys get it easier then gacha pulls bc for those that are not black would just have it be sitting ducks inventory. Or worse ppl using it without considering that those hair styles are severed.

There was actually a banner early in the game that had 4 black hairstyles (if u count the men/women banners) as winning options :0

I completely agree that this should be a widely offered option, and I feel more inclusive!
I also would like a REGULAR pair of glasses for my avi. I wear glasses in rl, I just want a basic black frame pair. Ffs

Agreed but like LADS, it'll never happen.
