WhileSplatoon 2is agreat shooter, its wide range of character customization is nothing to sniff at either. That being said, while it’s easy enough to switch up an outfit or a weapon, it might not be entirely obvious how players can change something like the hairstyle they may have initially chosen for their character. This guide will explain exactly how to change up hairstyles to keep Squidlings and Octolings looking fresh inSplatoon 2.

How To Change Hair In Splatoon 2
While outside a match, all the player has to do is press the + button on their Nintendo Switch to enter the Options menu. From there, scroll to the Other tab and find the Style options. Once the player has found themselves here, they can choose from any of theavailable hairstyles. For each gender, there are six hairstyles to play from, meaning that there are twelve in total in the game.

However, unlike other games made by theSplatoonteam - namely theAnimal Crossingfranchise, which has allowed players to access hairstyles and clothing regardless of the players' chosen gender sinceAnimal Crossing: New Leaf- players' hairstyles are gender-locked inSplatoon 2. This means that there isn’t much choice when it comes to hairstyles to choose from, and players may even have to switch the gender of their character if they want to use a hairstyle that’s locked behind the gender they didn’t choose.
Thankfully, this seems to be something that will likely beimproved on inSplatoon 3, especially as the developers behindSplatoonandAnimal Crossingare taking steps toward making their games accessible when it comes to things like hairstyles and clothing being more ‘gender-neutral’.
As for hair color, this sadly is not an option that players can choose from inSplatoon 2. Hair color is chosen randomly at the start of a match when the ink color for each team is decided, and the color that the player character has when walking around outside a match seems to be completely random.
There aretonsof colors in the game, though, and the colors that the player might see depend on the matches that they’ve been playing - for instance, Ranked Battles have different color ink than Regular Battles. Unlike hairstyles, though, it’s not entirely certain whetherthis will be changedinSplatoon 3- players will just have to wait and see.
