Octolings are another playable character type in Splatoon 3 and they have eight hairstyle options that look more like octopuses.

  • Quiff
  • Double Ponytails
  • Mohawk

After picking to play as Inkling or Octoling, you’ll automatically get paired with a Smallfry. Though Smallfries aren’t nearly as customizable as Inklings and Octolings, they do have seven hairstyle options. Here are the best Smallfry hairstyles from best to worst in our opinion:

  • Pompadour
  • Swept
  • Bun
  • Classic
  • Mohawk
  • Pineapple
  • Spiky

Those are all of the hairstyles in Splatoon 3 for Inklings, Octolings, and Smallfries. Now that you’ve selected the best hairstyle, you can get right to farming money fast or unlocking all the levels in the story mode. Whatever you choose to do, remember to have fun!
