It’s possible to unlock more character customization in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, specifically in the form of more hair options. 

So, hair. This is honestly one of the largest personality indicators in the game outside of your fashion, and we’re talking strictly in terms of color and form here. If you want to customize your hair even further beyond the default looks provided by the character creator, then you can do so by purchasing additional hair color and hair style options from the Nook Stop inside Residential Services.
