How to Put Multiple Hairs on Roblox Mobile: A Comprehensive Guide
Getting your avatar to look exactly how you want it in Roblox is a huge part of the fun. And let’s be honest, sometimes, one hairstyle just isn’t enough! The ability to combine different hairs on Roblox Mobile can elevate your style game to the next level. This guide will walk you through the process, step-by-step, so you can achieve that coveted layered hair look on your mobile device.
Understanding the Limitations: Why Multiple Hairs Aren’t “Officially” Supported
Before we dive into the method, it’s important to address the elephant in the room: Roblox Mobile doesn’t natively support multiple hairs. The platform is designed to only equip one hair item at a time. This is a limitation of the mobile app’s current functionality. However, there’s a workaround, a clever trick that allows you to bypass this restriction. We’ll get to that soon!
The Core Concept: Using the Roblox Website on Your Mobile Device
The key to achieving the multi-hair look on Roblox Mobile is to leverage the Roblox website through your mobile browser. The website offers more advanced customization options than the app. This is where the magic happens.
Step 1: Accessing the Roblox Website in Your Browser
First, open your preferred web browser on your mobile device (Chrome, Safari, etc.). Then, navigate to the official Roblox website: www.roblox.com. Ensure you are logged into your Roblox account. This is crucial, as you’ll be making changes to your avatar directly.
Step 2: Requesting the Desktop Site (Essential for Success!)
This step is absolutely vital. Because you are using a mobile browser, the website will typically load the mobile version by default. You need to request the desktop version of the site. The process varies slightly depending on your browser:
- Chrome (Android and iOS): Tap the three vertical dots (menu) in the top right corner of the browser. Select “Desktop site” or “Request desktop site.”
- Safari (iOS): Tap the “aA” icon in the address bar. Select “Request Desktop Website.”
This will reload the Roblox website in a desktop format, giving you access to the advanced avatar customization features.
Customizing Your Avatar: The Multi-Hair Method
With the desktop site loaded, you’re ready to start layering those hairstyles!
Step 3: Navigating to the Avatar Customization Page
Once logged in and in desktop mode, locate the “Avatar” section. This is usually found under the “Avatar” tab or by clicking on your profile picture in the top right corner of the screen, then selecting “Avatar.” This will take you to the avatar customization page.
Step 4: Equipping Your First Hair
On the avatar customization page, find and equip the first hair item you want to use. This is the base layer. Select the hair you want and click “Equip”.
Step 5: The Crucial “Advanced” Feature
This is where the magic happens! At the bottom of the avatar customization page, you should see an “Advanced” button or tab. Click on it.
Step 6: Finding the Hair Asset IDs
The “Advanced” section allows you to manually input the Asset IDs of items you want to equip. You’ll need the Asset ID for each additional hair you want to add.
- Finding Asset IDs: Go to the Roblox catalog and search for the hair items you want to use. When you’re on the page of the hair, look at the URL. The Asset ID is the series of numbers in the URL, usually located after “catalog/”. Copy this number.
Step 7: Inputting Asset IDs and Equipping Additional Hairs
In the “Advanced” section, you’ll find slots to enter Asset IDs.
- Click in a slot and paste the Asset ID of the second hair you want to equip.
- Click “Save” or “Save Changes.”
- If you want to add more hairs, repeat steps 1 and 2, adding the Asset IDs for the third, fourth, and so on.
Step 8: Verifying Your New Look
After saving the changes, go back to the Roblox Mobile app and check your avatar. You should now see your avatar with multiple hairs equipped! The additional hairs might not immediately appear in the mobile app; sometimes it takes a few minutes to update. If you still don’t see the changes, try restarting the app.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Sometimes, things don’t go according to plan. Here are some common issues and how to address them:
- The “Advanced” Button is Missing: Make sure you’re using the desktop version of the Roblox website in your mobile browser. Double-check that you’ve requested the desktop site as described in Step 2.
- Hair Doesn’t Appear in the App: Give it a few minutes for the changes to sync. Restarting the Roblox Mobile app often resolves this.
- Items Disappear: This can sometimes happen if you’re trying to equip too many layered items. Try reducing the number of layered hairs.
- Overlap Issues: Sometimes, hairs might clip or overlap in an undesirable way. Experiment with different hair combinations to find the perfect look. Consider the order in which you equip the hairs, as this affects layering.
Tips for Optimal Hair Combinations
Achieving a great multi-hair look isn’t just about adding multiple hairs; it’s about choosing the right combinations. Here are some tips:
- Consider the Base Hair: Choose a base hair that complements the other hairstyles you intend to layer.
- Think About Color: Matching or contrasting hair colors can dramatically impact the overall aesthetic.
- Experiment with Placement: The order you input the Asset IDs can affect how the hairs are layered. Experiment with different orders to see what works best.
- Consider Head Accessories: Sometimes, layering hair with hats or other head accessories can create even more complex and stylish looks.
- Test and Refine: Don’t be afraid to experiment! Try different combinations until you find the perfect look.
