Read moreHonestly, for things like this, looking at a barbershop poster can give you some fairly generic options, but more than a simple afro.
Edit: There are other options of course! I've had my hair in a variety of styles, and barbershop posters usually contain safe lower cut styles. I am unsure where I would find longer examples has my hair usually ends at the giant afro stage and doesn't evolve from there.
Edit x2: ...
Thanks for adding the links! Confirming we've seen this, and sharing this with the team. o7
Imma make an account for each one >:)

Go learn something. A foreign language maybe.
Do some volunteer work to help people or nature.
as my friend asked regarding a different game: "will there be black hairstyles or we just get to choose between short afro, large afro, and cornrows?"
Do you have examples of additional hairstyles you'd like to be able to choose from?
I just hope that you add more then one African hairstyle, unlike any other game made ever. The Afro looks awesome, but it would be really cool to have different types fades, or some locks. Different texture hair would be kinda cool too, like having some that is relatively curly, one that’s super curly, and one that has super tight curls. Looking into 1a-4c hair texture, will help you understand what I mean.
Just wanna say great job so far on the game can’t wait to play it!
We definitely want to have a range of hairstyles, so people can make the character they want to in Ashes of Creation.
Do you have examples of a few of the hairstyles you have in mind? If so, we'll get those shared with the larger team.
I would like a bit more diversity in black male hairstyles. Normally, just see afro when it comes to MMOs. Black women have a few more than the men do but are still kind of lacking.
I'm not asking for these to be locked for black characters just that they exist. I know this is a weird statement but when WoW added that one hairstyle that you see black women within media, it got weird.
Do you have more examples of hairstyles you'd like to see in Ashes of Creation?
I second this bonus bonus idea . It always feels refreshing and cared for when character customisation is given continuous love after launch.
I'm sure I read a quote somewhere that some customisation could be unlocked through quests too. I'd love to see this unlocking go with a barber shop.
Bonus Bonus you say 🤔🤔
This is probably not something the majority will care about but as a black person, I really enjoyed the quick section in the Character Creation video where I saw a style that actually would fit someone like myself. It's a bit of a minor thing, but I always get happier when I see it, and my friends who I showed Ashes to, joked that that made the game actually playable for us. More Afro-friendly hairstyles is all I ask. Dreads, Twists, Afros, Braids, Fades, Sponge Curls, etc all help the immersive experience for me
Appreciate the feedback here regarding afro-friendly hairstyles, and passing it along to the team.
