About short hair Costumes

Short hair costumes are the ones where you might not need a wig at all. Weird Barbie's chopped look, Nami's style, a handful of these characters just need your actual hair and the right outfit around it.

If you do need a wig, a short-hair style is genuinely cheaper and easier to find fitted than long ones. It also survives a full night at a party better, less to catch on things, less to get knocked sideways.

This tag skews female-specific, since short hair on men usually isn't called out as a costume detail on its own. Check the character's category if you're not sure it applies.
