Unlocking all hairstyles in ARK: Survival Evolved can enhance your character's appearance and help you stand out in the game. While many hairstyles are unlocked through leveling or specific quests, some can be accessed using console commands. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to unlock all hairstyles using ARK's console commands.
Understanding ARK's Console Commands
ARK: Survival Evolved uses a console for advanced commands, allowing players to manipulate the game's settings, spawn creatures, and even unlock certain features. To access the console, press the tilde key (~) on your keyboard. This will open the console, where you can input commands.
Unlocking Hairstyles Using the 'cheat' Command
The 'cheat' command is the primary method to unlock hairstyles in ARK. It allows you to grant yourself specific hairstyles without having to level up or complete certain tasks. Here's how to use it:

- Open the console by pressing the tilde key (~)
- Type the following command, replacing 'HairstyleName' with the name of the hairstyle you want to unlock:
cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalItems/Hairstyles/HairstyleName.HairstyleName'" 1 - Press Enter to execute the command
Finding Hairstyle Names
To use the 'cheat' command effectively, you need to know the names of the hairstyles you want to unlock. Here's a list of hairstyles and their corresponding names:
| Hairstyle | Name |
|---|---|
| Afro | Afro |
| Bald | Bald |
| Braids | Braids |
| Buzzcut | Buzzcut |
| Cornrows | Cornrows |
| Dreadlocks | Dreadlocks |
| Emo | Emo |
| Fauxhawk | Fauxhawk |
| Fro | Fro |
| Mohawk | Mohawk |
| Mullet | Mullet |
| Ponytail | Ponytail |
| Shaved Head | ShavedHead |
| Short Bob | ShortBob |
| Undercut | Undercut |
| Wavy Hair | WavyHair |
You can use this list to replace 'HairstyleName' in the 'cheat' command. For example, to unlock the Afro hairstyle, you would use: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalItems/Hairstyles/Afro.Afro'" 1
Unlocking All Hairstyles at Once
If you want to unlock all hairstyles at once, you can use the following command: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalItems/Hairstyles/AllHairstyles.AllHairstyles'" 1

This command will give you all hairstyles in one go, saving you time and effort.
Using the 'hairstyle' Command
Once you've unlocked a hairstyle using the 'cheat' command, you can switch to it using the 'hairstyle' command. Here's how:
- Open the console by pressing the tilde key (~)
- Type the following command, replacing 'HairstyleName' with the name of the hairstyle you want to use:
hairstyle HairstyleName - Press Enter to execute the command
For example, to switch to the Afro hairstyle, you would use: hairstyle Afro

Remember, using console commands can give you an advantage in the game, but it can also make the game less challenging. Use them responsibly and consider the impact on your gameplay experience and that of other players.
