Black hair

I would love to see more and better options for hair of black sims. The styles that are currently available are good but could be better. I would like to see more styles of locs, braids and kinky hair.

  • The Sims 4 has already released a lot of free afro‑textured hairstyles over the years — locs, braids, twists, coils, and tighter curl patterns — and they’ve been steadily improving the quality. I think they’ll probably add more in the future, since it’s been a consistent area of updates.

  • What styles are you suggesting? Maybe provide photos. I don't play many sims with afro-textured hair, but I see lots of variety across base game and dlc already. Usually if I make a sim that would need that type of style, I use use both afro and curly textures to find more variety. 

  • There’s a lot more to Black hair than just afros and loose curls. Locs, braids, twists, cornrows, coils, taper cuts, knotless braids, Bantu knots — the game still doesn’t cover most of those. That’s why people ask for more variety. I’m white and even I know this, which is why it’s surprising to see people act like “afro + curly” equals the full range of Black hairstyles.

    UberDrew1​, I asked they offer more detail as to what they actually want like with pictures. Many of what you just described in your response post are already available in-game. While the options might not be as intricately detailed as some players want, they are still there.
