You're always so encouraging! Thank you for taking the time to comment again.

Thank you for the update

Thank you so much for reaching out.

You're not alone—another player recently brought up the same issue about gender-specific hairstyles being ignored when pawns spawn.
I shared some thoughts and workaround ideas in my response, which might also be helpful in your case.
If you're interested, please check the comment thread from around June 4.

I truly understand how frustrating this can be.
Unfortunately, I haven’t found a perfect solution yet, but I’m continuing to test and explore.
If anyone else happens to know more about this, I’d love to hear your input as well.

Thanks again, and take care! 🙇

I need help. Some of women hairstyles spawn on men. How to change it? i want women hair for women and men on men. Rimworld discord banned me for this question because they are LGBT and very angry when i ask this

Thank you so much—I'm truly honored and very happy to hear that!
I'll keep doing my best to live up to your kind words 💪
Hope you have fun customizing your pawns!

I love hair mods. Aesthetic mods all the way! Thank you!

Thank you all for your kind comments!
I’ve just pushed an update to match the release of RimWorld 1.6.
Fortunately, it seems like this update didn’t affect the mod much—everything looks fine on a quick check.
But if you notice anything unusual, please don’t hesitate to let me know!
I’ll continue to support version 1.6 moving forward. Thanks again, and happy RimWorld adventures!

great work!

Thanks for the update! :D

I'm very excited for the new DLC, it looks amazing :)

I’m really honored—thank you so much!
Your kind words truly encouraged me, and now I feel inspired to create more glasses variations!
With the 1.6 update just around the corner, my main focus will be on keeping everything compatible, but I’ll definitely continue expanding the accessories too.
Hope your RimWorld adventures are full of fun and surprises!

@Head.... thank you for the suggestion, i didn't even know that was a thing. and @ponpeco....yeah that's what im looking for, perfect work, thank you both and keep up the wonderful work ponpeco....it really is a good mod. Thanks again and enjoy your day both of ya's

@Mallory Forever
Talk about perfect timing for the update! 😄
Thanks so much for checking it out!

@cains8329
I'm really glad to hear you’re enjoying the mod—thank you!
For glasses and similar accessories, I usually make them as separate items instead of attaching them to hairstyles.
You might like this mod I made, which includes standalone glasses:

If you're looking for hairstyles that include glasses, I recommend this adorable mod by another creator. I personally love using it! (Apologies if you already knew about it!)

@Head
Thanks a lot for jumping in and sharing that!

@cains8329 Please try Ponpeco Accessories. It has what you want

really great mod.....thank you for the work, was wondering if you could do a couple of with glasses styles and maybe a couple glasses with stubble for men styles? if not its ok as well...still the best work ive seen for hair in some time....thanks again for the great work and enjoy your weekend

Hell I was just asking about adding new hair

ｖ1.6
・Added new hairstyles.
・Now compatible with “Young and Old Hair”!
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3488673364
This mod restricts certain hairstyles by age group.
When used together, it prevents scenarios like toddlers with pompadours or grandmas with twin-tails, resulting in more natural-looking character spawns.
・Hair categories have been split into three groups.
・Minor texture adjustments.
・Shortened some hairstyle names that were too long.

Thanks so much to both of you!
I just realized how long my reply was—sorry for the wall of text!😲
I'm truly grateful that you took the time to read it.

Wow, never thought a reply like this! Thanks!

Thank you, ponpeco. We appreciate you!!

@Head
Thank you for the extra info!
You might be right—there just aren’t many male-only hairstyles, so the probability might be skewed. I’ll double-check the gender tags and investigate a bit more.
If I find anything new, I’ll let you know!
Again, thank you so much!

>When Ideology is disabled
Even when the Ideology DLC is inactive, I’ve observed that gender-specific hairstyles may still sometimes be ignored.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to identify a clear cause for this either, and it’s currently under investigation.
I’m sorry I can’t offer a solid fix yet, but if I discover anything useful, I’ll be sure to share it in a future update.
(If anyone happens to have insights into this issue, I’d really appreciate it if you could share them!)

Apologies for the long comment, and thank you again for your interest.
I hope you continue to enjoy your RimWorld adventures!

・Copy hairstyle settings from a new save
Start a temporary new game with the hairstyle mod enabled.
Then, use this very helpful mod to copy the hairstyle settings:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2820645169
I recommend copying not just your own faction, but also pirates, tribals, the Empire, etc.
After that, switch back to your main save and paste the copied hairstyle data.
Note: Dev Mode must be enabled to paste settings.

(To be continued in the next comment...)

If the hairstyle settings were randomized by Ideology
This may not apply to every situation, but if your Ideology-assigned hairstyles were randomized (which can happen when adding hairstyle mods mid-game), here are two possible ways to adjust them manually:

・Batch gender assignment by category
In the next update, I plan to split the current “Ponpeco Hair” category into three:
PHair Male, PHair Female, and PHair Any.
https://imgur.com/a8knEd2
This will allow you to manage gender assignment per category.
In Dev Mode, you can edit hairstyle preferences for both your own and other factions.

@Mallory Forever
Thank you for your comment!
I'm really glad to hear you're enjoying the mod!

About hairstyle gender settings
RimWorld (vanilla) does support gender-specific hairstyles, and I’ve assigned gender tags to all hairstyles in this mod.
However, I've also seen male pawns spawn with female hairstyles, so you're not alone.

I suspect this might be related to the Ideology DLC.
When hairstyles are added mid-game, Ideology may assign them randomly, ignoring gender tags.
But if the hairstyle existed at the start of the game, gender settings are usually respected.

That said, in my latest test, the new hairstyle wasn’t assigned to anyone—male or female.
I’m still unsure and a bit confused.

(To be continued in the next comment...)

@Mallory Forever The hairstyles already have a <styleGender> tag assigned to them. However, I think the issue is that some of the feminine styles say "FemaleUsually" or "Any" instead of just "Female", which will make male pawns spawn with them frequently.

Really nice mod, though I have a question that is quite bothering me. Since the base game seems not categorizing hairstyles as male or female, It's quite bizarre seeing male pawns having female hairstyle and female pawns having male ones (like, a 62 years-old male pawn having a hairstyle of a f-ing catgirl), and so I'm curious if there's any mod that restricts things like this to happen.

It's fine if there isn't any, still made my day.

Wow, that’s such high praise—thank you so much!
This mod is actually coming up on its one-year anniversary!
I’ve had so much fun updating it thanks to everyone’s feedback and support.
I really appreciate it, and I’ll keep doing my best to make it even better!

Best hair mod ever. ponpeco really did the work here with high quality and high definition hair mod.Bless ponpeco

Thank you so much for your kind words!
I truly enjoy making these mods, but knowing that other players are using and enjoying them brings me even greater joy.
I hope you have a lot of fun with it!

What a beautiful mod. We need this. Thanks for making this!

I'm so sorry for the late reply.
Thank you so much for using my mod!
I'm really happy to hear that — drawing long hair is such an enjoyable time for me! 😊

I like the long hairstyles the best :D

Your work is beautiful. Thank you!

To kingrevolucion12
Thank you so much! I'm really happy to hear that!
For drawing, I use a Japanese illustration software called “Paint Tool SAI 2.”
I don't rely on any features that are exclusive to SAI, so I believe you could achieve a similar art style with other programs like CLIP STUDIO, FireAlpaca, or ibisPaint as well.
I’d love to see what you create—have fun experimenting with your own style!

To tanyfilina
Thank you so much for your always warm and thoughtful feedback!
I tend to over-detail things when I draw, and finding a good overall balance is still a challenge for me.
I have so much respect for the work of other mod creators—I’m constantly learning from their incredible skills.
Curly hair was quite tricky to draw, but after a lot of trial and error, it somehow turned out nicely, even surprising me a bit! 😄
I’d love to try adding more curly hairstyles besides ponytails in the future, little by little.
If you have any requests or ideas, please feel free to share them anytime!

Hey, what a joy! What a marvel I just saw! Thanks, we hope to see more. Excellent work. By the way, what programs do you use? Let me try and see what comes out.

This new curly ponytail looks wonderful!
Reminded me that I wanted to suggest you some more curly haircuts :)
As the curly hair mod that I'm using currently has much lower quality than your mod.

Thank you so much for your kind words, and I’m sorry for the late reply!
I started modding simply because I wanted to use these hairstyles in my own game, but somewhere along the way, creating them became even more fun than playing.
Knowing that other players enjoy my work is the greatest reward I could ask for.
Your support and encouragement mean the world to me—thank you!

Thank you for sharing your talent. Your work is so exceptional that I find it difficult to accept using anyone else's.

Thank you for the references!
I’ll keep them in mind for future updates. 😆

I may not be able to fulfill every request due to my skills, time, and the mod’s concept, but I truly appreciate the opportunity to hear what kind of hairstyles would make everyone happy!

There are several hairstyles that you can get inspiration from.

Thanks for such a wonderful mod, I always like to add variety to the game and characters throughout the story. I know you told me you didn't work on commission, but I don't know if I can share some hairstyle ideas with you for when you get inspired again. Take your time. I don't know if I can share them with you.

Thank you for letting me know!
I'm so relieved that everything is working fine again.
If you ever run into any other issues, don’t hesitate to reach out!
I really appreciate you using my mod.

sorry for the delay, finally had time to update and yes everything is back to normal! ty for the swift response <3

I'm really sorry for the trouble!
I couldn't pinpoint the cause on my end, but there's a chance that my network connection was unstable and the upload might not have been complete.
Just in case, I've re-uploaded the mod with fresh data.
Please try updating again, and if the issue persists, feel free to let me know. I'll do my best to fix it!

Hello!
Oh no, that’s a big problem!

This hairstyle comes with the flower wreath as a single unit.
If you're looking for a standalone flower wreath, my mod Ponpeco Accessories includes a clover flower crown. Feel free to check it out!

I looked up Eleanor from Civ6—she's really adorable!
Now I'm tempted to create a separate rose flower wreath as well.
