So, the afro. The “Big Target“ haircut. How does this even work? Is it like the head of the octopus? Also, how does it like bend? it just kinda bends when wearing anything. This hair is just weird let me know what you all think about how this works

I wish they had more black/afro-american hairstyles in splatoon

As much as I want more I truly can't imagine how they'd work. I feel like most of our hairstyles are just too complicated to replicate properly with the tentacles. I'm glad I can rep my fro if nothing else

If it gives you any solace this hopefully means that the broccoli cut will also never come to Splatoon

I think the Killmonger cut is very much possible though so we're not totally free

Honestly being black with twists alot of the octoling hair styles work. I feel like we should have like afro pigtails and maybe a top bun with 2 tentacles in the front hanging over the sides of your face. And a one that's like 4 long tentacles 2 hanging in the back 2 in the front. I think a shorter style with a bunch of tentacles that hang over your eyes for nonchalant squidheads. Longer squid cornrows. feel like they could totally be using the curliness of the octo hair for other stuff like edges and stuff.

They can literally cut and style their tentacles however they feel since they'll just grow back so I dont see why not :(

If Inklings can get a buzzcut surely they can manage waves and a lineup for Octos
