Whether you choose to play as an Inkling or an Octoling in Splatoon 3, one of the first decisions you need to make is what hairstyle you want. No additional hairstyles are unlocked later in the game and each style doesn’t cost additional money. Plus, you can change your appearance any time you want, so don’t worry about messing up because you can’t. Here are all of the hairstyles in Splatoon 3.

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

- Updo
- Octolocks
- Quiff
- Double Ponytails

- Afro
All Smallfry Hairstyles
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!
Splatoon 3 is available now on Nintendo Switch.
