All Pokémon Pokopia Hairstyles
One of the fun aspects of playing as Ditto in Pokémon Pokopia is the ability to customise your character’s look, including their hairstyle. Hairstyles work alongside outfits to give you full control over how your humanoid Ditto looks as you build up your Pokémon paradise. To change your hairstyle at any time, simply interact with a mirror — there’s no need to visit a specific NPC or shop. And with 28 hair colour options on top of each style, the combinations are plentiful.
Below is our in-progress list of every Pokémon Pokopia hairstyle and how to unlock each one. We’ll keep updating this as more are discovered.
Default Hairstyles (Available From the Start)
These 7 hairstyles are available from the very beginning of the game, so you can start customising Ditto right away:

| Pigtails | Available from the start |
| Short | Available from the start |
| Buns | Available from the start |
| Locs | Available from the start |
| Shaved | Available from the start |

Unlockable Hairstyles

| Hairstyle | How to Unlock | Location |
|---|---|---|

| Winged Pigtails | “Angler Monthly (Special Edition)” Human Record | Volcanic Dream Island |
| Mermaid | “Unmasking the True Misty” Human Record | Withered Wasteland |
How to Unlock New Hairstyles in Pokémon Pokopia
New hairstyles in Pokopia are tied to Human Records — collectible items scattered throughout the game’s regions and Dream Islands. When you find and read a specific Human Record, it unlocks the associated hairstyle for use at any mirror.
The Withered Wasteland is clearly an important early area for unlocking hairstyles, as two of the three known unlockable styles — Parted and Mermaid — are both found here via Human Records. If you’re pushing through the Withered Wasteland, keep your eyes open for any glowing or interactable items that might be collectible records.
The Winged Pigtails hairstyle, on the other hand, requires you to visit the Volcanic Dream Island, which means you’ll need the right doll first. For help finding and collecting dolls to access Dream Islands, check out our guide on how to get dolls in Pokémon Pokopia.
To actually switch to your newly unlocked style, just find any mirror in your world and interact with it.

Tips for Customising Your Ditto
- Mirrors are everywhere — you can place them in any house you build, making it easy to change your look on the fly
- Hair colour is separate from hairstyle — with 28 colour options, you can experiment freely without needing to unlock anything
- Hairstyles are permanent unlocks — once you find a Human Record, that hairstyle is yours for good
- Explore thoroughly — Human Records appear to be hidden throughout the overworld, so thoroughness pays off; this also applies when hunting for lumber and other materials you’ll need to build and expand
- New styles may still be undiscovered — this list is in-progress; there may be additional hairstyles tied to later regions or rarer Dream Islands
