Hairstyle

The hairstyle selection menu in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Beginning in Animal Crossing: Wild World, the player has the option to change their hairstyle and hair color. Prior to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it is done at Harriet's barber shop, Shampoodle, and in New Horizons, it is done by the player themself. In games where visiting Shampoodle is required to change the player's hairstyle, the answers to Harriet's questions will determine which hairstyle and color is received.

Players can also wear wigs in order to access additional hairstyles. While technically considered a type of headwear, wigs will match the player's current hair color.

Appearances

In Animal Crossing

In Animal Crossing, the player's hair cannot be changed; there is only one style per gender, and its color is determined by Rover's questions at the beginning of the game. The male player's hairstyle has little to no visible hair from under his hat, while the female player's hairstyle features a long outwards flick on either side.

In Wild World

The player's hairstyle in Animal Crossing: Wild World is determined by their answers to Kapp'n's questions at the beginning of the game and can be changed at Shampoodle for 3,000 Bells once it is opened. There are a total of sixteen hairstyles, with eight for females and eight for males. Once the player has received all hairstyles of their gender at least once, Harriet will allow them to choose hairstyles of the opposite gender.

In City Folk

The player after being given a new hairstyle in City Folk.

Like in Wild World, the player's hairstyle in Animal Crossing: City Folk is determined by their answers to Kapp'n's questions at the beginning of the game and can be changed at Shampoodle for 3,000 Bells. There are four new hairstyles for each gender, making for a total of twelve. Once the player has had their hair styled 15 times, Harriet will allow them to choose hairstyles of the opposite gender. Additionally, bed head, a messy hairstyle that appears when the player has not played for at least 15 days, is introduced. Bed hair cannot be fixed automatically; the only way to recover their previous hairstyle is to request it again at Shampoodle.

In New Leaf

The player's hairstyle in Animal Crossing: New Leaf is determined by their answers to Rover's questions at the beginning of the game and can be changed at Shampoodle for 3,000 Bells once it is opened. There are a total of 32 hairstyles, with 16 for females and 16 for males. Once the player has had their hair styled 15 times, Harriet will allow them to choose hairstyles of the opposite gender. Bed head returns from City Folk and acts the same.

All hairstyles from Animal Crossing: New Leaf reappear in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer and Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp.

In New Horizons

The player's hairstyle in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is selected from a list at the beginning of the game and can be customized at any time by interacting with a mirror or vanity. Additionally, hair is no longer restricted by gender.

At the beginning of the game, eight hairstyles and eight hair colors are available. Six hairstyles are unlocked by interacting with a vanity for the first time. Further new hairstyles can be unlocked from packs that can be purchased from the Nook Miles Redemption: Top 6 Stylish Hairstyles, Top 8 Cool Hairstyles, and Top 8 Pop Hairstyles, as well as Top 8 Stylish Hair Colors for eight additional hair colors. Bed head now requires a month of inactivity to occur, and the player automatically "fixes" it after leaving their house, reverting to their previous hairstyle. This also unlocks the option to use bed head as a proper hairstyle.

The 1.6.0 Free Winter Update added a new hairstyle pack, Top 6 Stylish Hairstyles, which offers six new hairstyles, including the option to be bald for the first time.

The 2.0 Update adds Top 4 Fab Hairstyles, which can be redeemed at the Nook Stop. Seven more hairstyles can be earned by speaking to Harriet at Harv's Island once a day. This makes for a total of 48 hairstyles in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, including bed head.

In Happy Home Designer

Changing the player's hairstyle in Happy Home Designer

In Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, the player's hairstyle can be customized at the beginning of the game. They can freely change their hair afterwards upon unlocking the Styling Machine.

In Pocket Camp

In Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, the player is able to customize their hair in the tutorial and in the Settings menu. Additional hairstyles and colors were added in version 1.4.2 on March 26, 2021.

Questions

In Animal Crossing: Wild World, the questions asked by Harriet are as follows:

1. Harriet: "Hmm. Now tell me, sugar, when do you want your style to REALLY come alive?"
2. Harriet: "Do you like the sun? How does it make you feel? (if answered "Every day.") OR "I'll bet you're just the toast of every party, aren't you?" (if answered "Big nights!")
3. Harriet will ask one of the following:

"If you were rushing to the salon and someone were to call to you, what would you do?" (if first answered "Every day." and then "Warm...")

"Are clothes important to you?" (if answered "Every day." and then "Sweaty!")

"If your ideal hairstyle were a song, what kind of song would it be?" (if first answered "Big nights!" and then "Well, duh!")

"Well, will you tell me a bit about your primping routine?" (if first answered "Big nights!" and then "Unfortunately...")
