It is possible to equip your Elden Ring character with new hairstyles either during character creation or by visiting the Roundtable Hold past a certain point in the game’s progression.

Use new hairstyles using the Character Creation menu

This is the easiest method to swap hairstyles in Elden Ring. The Character Creation menu is available as soon as you begin a fresh save and presents players with a plethora of options to choose from.

In the Detailed Appearance > Alter Face & Hair > Hair section, you can find a total of 37 presets to choose from, including the five new hairstyles.

Once you select your desired option, save your changes and exit the editor to begin the game.

Changing hairstyles using the Clouded Mirror Stand

Thankfully, FromSoftware has given players the ability to swap between hairstyles at any point in the game. Doing so requires access to the Roundtable, which is unlocked shortly after you speak with Melina for the first time.

Once you are at the Roundtable, head to the room containing the Dressing Table. Interact with it to change your appearance at will.

Finally, it is also possible to swap hairstyles after you defeat Rennala, Queen of Raya Lucaria Academy. This won't need you to consume additional resources, much like the Roundtable’s Dressing Table.
