Unlocking Hairstyles in ARK: Survival Evolved with Console Commands
ARK: Survival Evolved, the popular survival game, offers a wide range of customization options, including hairstyles. However, not all hairstyles are unlocked by default. This guide will walk you through the process of unlocking hairstyles using console commands, making your character truly unique.
Understanding ARK's Console Commands
Before we dive into unlocking hairstyles, it's essential to understand how to use ARK's console commands. You can access the console by pressing the tilde key (~) on your keyboard. Once the console is open, you can type commands and press Enter to execute them.
Unlocking Hairstyles: The Cheat Command
The command to unlock all hairstyles in ARK is quite simple. Here's how you can use it:

- Open the console by pressing the tilde key (~)
- Type the following command and press Enter:
cheat GiveItem "Hairstyle" 1 0 0 0 - Close the console
This command will give you a Hairstyle item that you can use to unlock all hairstyles in the game. Once you've used the item, you should be able to access all hairstyles in the character customization menu.
Unlocking Specific Hairstyles
If you're looking to unlock a specific hairstyle, you can use a slightly modified version of the command above. Here's how:
- Open the console by pressing the tilde key (~)
- Type the following command and press Enter:
cheat GiveItem "Hairstyle_HairstyleName" 1 0 0 0 - Replace HairstyleName with the name of the hairstyle you want to unlock. You can find a list of hairstyle names in the ARK Wiki.
- Close the console
Using this command will give you an item that unlocks the specific hairstyle you've chosen. Once you've used the item, you should be able to access that hairstyle in the character customization menu.

Using the Hairstyle Item
Once you've used the console command to give yourself a Hairstyle item, you can use it to unlock the corresponding hairstyle. Here's how:
- Open your inventory
- Locate the Hairstyle item
- Use the item
Using the item will unlock the hairstyle, and you should be able to access it in the character customization menu.
Troubleshooting: Why Can't I See My New Hairstyle?
If you've used the console command and the Hairstyle item, but you still can't see your new hairstyle, it might be due to a few reasons:

- You haven't used the Hairstyle item yet. Make sure you've used the item in your inventory to unlock the hairstyle.
- You're not in the character customization menu. You can access this menu by opening your inventory and clicking on the character customization icon.
- You're playing on a server with admin settings that prevent hairstyle unlocking. Some servers have admin settings that prevent players from using console commands or unlocking certain hairstyles. If you're playing on a server and you're unable to unlock hairstyles, you might want to contact the server admin for assistance.
