Unlocking these hairstyles can be a bit of a mystery, so we've put together this comprehensive guide to help you discover and unlock all the available hairstyles in ARK.
Understanding Hairstyle Unlocks in ARK
In ARK, hairstyles are unlocked through a combination of leveling up your survivor and completing specific challenges or achievements. Each hairstyle has its own unique requirements, ranging from reaching certain levels to completing specific missions or tasks. Let's dive into the details of how to unlock each hairstyle.
Unlocking Hairstyles by Level
Many hairstyles in ARK are unlocked simply by leveling up your survivor. Here are some of the hairstyles you can unlock by reaching certain levels:
- Level 10: Mohawk
- Level 20: Buzzcut
- Level 30: Ponytail
- Level 40: Undercut
- Level 50: Braids
Leveling Up Your Survivor
To level up your survivor, you'll need to gain experience points (XP). You can earn XP by completing various activities in the game, such as taming dinosaurs, building structures, and defeating other players or creatures. As you level up, you'll gain access to new hairstyles and other customization options.
Unlocking Hairstyles Through Achievements
Some hairstyles in ARK are unlocked by completing specific achievements or challenges. These hairstyles often require a bit more effort to unlock, but the results are well worth it. Here are some examples:
- Survivor's Pride: Unlocks the "Afro" hairstyle. To unlock this hairstyle, you'll need to reach level 100 with a survivor.
- Master of the Elements: Unlocks the "Bun" hairstyle. To unlock this hairstyle, you'll need to tame a creature of each element (Fire, Water, Electric, and Ice).
- Tribal Initiate: Unlocks the "Dreadlocks" hairstyle. To unlock this hairstyle, you'll need to complete the "Obstacle Course" mission in the "Ragnarok" map.
Tracking Your Progress
To keep track of your progress and see which hairstyles you've unlocked, open your survivor's inventory and look for the "Hairstyles" tab. Here, you'll see a list of all the available hairstyles and their corresponding unlock requirements. As you complete the necessary tasks, the hairstyles will become available for selection.
Unlocking Hairstyles Through the Steam Marketplace
In addition to unlocking hairstyles through gameplay, you can also purchase them directly through the Steam Marketplace. The Steam Marketplace offers a variety of unique hairstyles that can't be unlocked through regular gameplay. These hairstyles are typically purchased using real money or Steam Wallet funds.

To purchase hairstyles on the Steam Marketplace, follow these steps:
- Open the Steam client and navigate to the "Community" tab.

- Browse the available hairstyles and click on the one you'd like to purchase.
- Follow the prompts to complete your purchase using your preferred payment method.
- Once your purchase is complete, the hairstyle will be added to your inventory, and you can apply it to your survivor.
Conclusion
Unlocking hairstyles in ARK: Survival Evolved is a fun and rewarding way to customize your survivor and show off your achievements.
