Increase hair possibilities with alternate hair textures!

More, and better, hair options? Yes please!
Of the standard hairs, there's about... 3 or so that I even slightly like. And they're divided between the old-style blended colors and "new" style multi-colors. Being able to first pick the style, then the texturing, would be a nice change.

more hair = co-sign.
Heck, I'd even settle for them sprucing up the older, lower res versions...there are plenty of 'old' styles I like, but they look *so bad* compared to most of the more modern costume options I can't bring myself to use them.

My City Was Gone
We need a hairstyles pack with over 20 new hi-res hairstyles,specially long hair.
Since I14 I think we got only some new hairstyles as part of costume packs, but none of them was long hair...

When it comes to male styles, I like Long, Barbaric and... maybe Qin Dynasty?
As much as I hate to admit it, the face/head customizations of the game really hold back a lot of creation potential.
Let's just say they released a Face Pack and a Hair Pack? 400pts each- I'd snatch those up so fast it'd make the devs' heads spin.
I completely agree. I need more hair styles. A lot of my girls and guys look like similar because I have to use the same hair over and over. Especially longer hair on the girls. I need waves, locks, girls. Highlights and dimensions! Layers damn it! And I've been wanting moving hair since Ghost Widow started flaunting it....
Moar hair naow pleeeeaaasee!!!
We so badly need new, high-res hair, on all the models. Please, for the love of pete, make this happen! The old hairs are so bad!

More choices for male characters as well! I have never seen those damn brain-exposure styles as anything a modern Villain or hero would ever don.
More anime-esque hairstyles for men and women, please!
Great idea, would easily spend 400pts on it. Would make a villain with Fatal Attraction style hair to begin with.

/sign. Anything with more hair.

A) revamp the textures on the older hairstyles
B) add moar hair. Especially long hair styles.
Current Published Arcs
#1 "Too Drunk to be Alcoholic" Arc #48942
#2 "To Slay Sleeping Dragons" Arc #111486
#3 "Stop Calling Me"
A good selection of hair, or faces and hair, would be well worth a Costume Pack worth of points (say, 400, ish).
So, /signed!

I agree with this post. Don't just give us MOAR HAIR, but also update the older hairstyles to the post ultra mode look.

Sounds good to me.
Open Archetype Suggestion thread!, Kirsten's Epic Weapon Pools, Feudal Japan, Etc., Alignment specific Rularuu iTrials!
If Masterminds didn't suck, they'd be the most powerful AT in the game.

When it comes to costumes, the community is ironclad about retroactive changes to their beloved pieces. Gladiator shoulders, anyone?

That's why they shouldn't replace them, but allow multiple texture options for each (i.e. like a lot of the parts that have shape, then a texture). Different styles and patterns in the hair, including the original style. I like the old styles more than the new ones (mostly), but the old textures look really bad compared to the rest of the current items.

I think roughly 95% of my characters' costumes are composed of new-model stuff like Circle of Thorns, Imperial Defense, Warrior, etc.
And the hair- again, I'd pay 400-800 points in a NY minute for a new pack of hair for male and female.
If they doubled the number of faces and hair styles and put them into packs I could guarantee they'd be getting my money. I really like the idea of the old ones being updated as well with higher res looks, though leaving them in in their current state as well is extremely important.

Agreed. 'Legacy' options should be kept, with ultra-mode level new stuff added on top. And yes, faces too as well as hair. But NOT Normal mapped faces, for the love of pete!

Thing is, if we compare the legacy hairstyles with newest like Resistance or Gunslinger... there is a BIG difference, both on polygons, shape and textures.
Hope they sell a hairstyles pack soon, even if it sounds silly not all the costume bundles come with a new hairstyle and the newest are always short-medium hair.
Want a Glam new version, very long hair with hi-res textures, for BOTH females and males.

And why you're involving Pete? He seemed so blissfully removed from it all.
The one hairstyle that made me think of this working for right away is Crew Cut.
A crew cut should not look like slicked back hair.
While we're on the discussion on hair, why not add some proper masks in the game for males? I would love having a character wearing a mask similar to the Carnival of Light and such, instead of what's currently offered.

Here's an example:
Exact same mesh, made different by a wavy texture and a straight texture!
It could be like tights textures, but with hair. The same idea could also be used to give coloured streaks.
I'd buy it as an add-on pack.
