For example my High Elf is out hunting in her normal 'fighting' appearance gear and her usual hair style (the braid wrapped around her head & a bunch of crazy curls in the back). Then she comes back to the city and its time for a bit of RP with friends. She changes into 'dressy' outfit... Can she snap on a new 'formal up-do' for her hair (without having to change, or not change, her whole appearance)?
Likewise, maybe Leeroy's barb is 5 o'clock shadow in the field, but he wants to shave for his wedding, and his Woodie bride would like to let her normally tied back hair, flow loose under the veil. Unless you are a skin-head in real life, most folks can, and will, slightly change their hairstyles over a few days/weeks. We are not forced to wear the same exact style everyday.
I could see some stuff being impossible to get; the Erudians' glifs or the 'Tongas' wiskers (if all of the 'Tongas could get them) are stickly racial. It would have to be decided if "tattoos/woad" are actually created by people... and usable by all/most races, or magically created and limited only to those folks who appear to be pure-blooded examples of the race (No, my Human can have woad & tattoos because he is 1/16 Barb on his mother's side & his dad was 3/4 Woodie).
But there is no reason why something like hair shouldn't be open to all/most races. (Troll/Kerra/some Tonga girl hair might not work for all, but most females could wear most hair styles.) My Half Elf's family is Dark Elves. You would think that at least once or twice her mother & sister would sit her down, grab a jar full of "Je'Mal's Gnomish Hair Paste" and give her a proper hair style, even if just for a nice family Frostfell dinner.
Aye, Treissae doesn't like stubble burns. And she does look sweet with her hair down.
Many races are missing some hairstyle or other, I have noticed. And some "appearance" type item (snap-on?) for special occasions would be welcomed by not only roleplayers but certain clotheshorses like the one looking out the mirror at me.
My hair may be tousled and perpetually in my eyes out in the wild, so to speak, but I am actually very fastidious about my appearance/cleanliness. So let me comb back the tangles and look like I spent a few minutes on hygiene before I am seen about town.
