Head Hair

Overview

All races except Gor'Togs and S'Kra Mur can grow hair. For those with head hair there are five (5) basic hair states; Loose, Braided, Tied back, Tousled, and Unkempt. These basic states can be toggled via the BRAID, UNBRAID, TIE, UNTIE, MUSS, and BRUSH commands. Each basic state can be further ARRANGEd into various hairstyles. Arrangement options vary based on race and hair length. Additionally, hair can also be styled by wearing items in it. Unless concealed, head hair appearance (state and style) is visible in a character's features when the character is LOOKed at.

Basic Hair States

• Loose - UNBRAIDed, UNTIEd, and not MUSSed. BRUSHed twice from Unkempt or once from Tousled.
  
• Braided - BRAIDed from Loose or Tousled.
  
• Tied back - TIEd from Loose or Tousled.
  
• Tousled - MUSSed once from Loose. BRUSHed once from Unkempt. Can be tied or braided but will revert to Loose when undone.
  
• Unkempt - MUSSed twice from Loose or once from Tousled. Requires BRUSHing to be returned to other basic hair states.
