Pokémon Legends Z-A offers a broad set of hairstyles and colors for both character models, with no gender-locked options. You can switch looks early and revisit them as often as you like, either from the in-game menu or by heading into Lumiose City.


Hairstyles in Pokémon Legends Z-A: overview

The game includes a full catalog of short, medium, and longer styles, along with multiple color choices. All hairstyles and colors are available to both model types, so you don’t need to restart or swap models to access a particular cut. If you prefer to curate your look alongside outfits and facial features, the appearance tools sit alongside the broader character customization system.


Change hairstyle in Lumiose City

You can change your hairstyle in Lumiose City. If you’re already mid-adventure, plan a stop there to refresh your look. This is useful if you want to pair a new cut with other city-based customization or shopping without diving into menus.


Change hairstyle from the Outfit & Looks menu (buttons)

You can also update your hair directly from the menus without visiting a location:

  • Press the X Button to open the Outfit & Looks menu.
  • Press the - Button to switch to the appearance section and select your hairstyle.

This is the fastest way to swap styles and colors on the fly while exploring.


Shared options across models

Regardless of which character model you choose at the prologue, all customization options—hairstyles included—are available to both. You don’t lose access to any cuts or colors based on model choice, and you can mix hairstyles with any outfit, eye shape, or other appearance setting.


What else you can customize

Beyond hair and color, the game supports fine-tuning other appearance details. You can update your eye shapes and other facial characteristics, with options that include features like eyelashes and lip color alongside a variety of outfits. It’s designed so you can coordinate a full look without switching characters.
