[April 2026] Top 10 Popular VRChat Hairstyles | Booth Trend Analysis

A look back at the April 2026 hairstyles published on Booth that drew the most likes, with the data alongside. April was a month where a flicked short wolf cut and silver/black mature long hair split the top spots, twintails and tied-up styles ran thick, and on supported models Shinano led alone while Sio and Lumina pushed into the upper ranks. The Top 10 averaged around 15.5 supported avatars each, and while most of the month's releases sat at ¥500–999, the upper ranks edged toward ¥1,000 by stacking colorways and model coverage.

Top 10 Hairstyles

Ranked by like count as of the compile date (June 2026), here's one pick at a time with the details worth noting.

#1: Astel-hair / MOMORI

An airy short wolf cut with light flicked ends, its tips running from white-silver into pink and softly framing the face line. It took the sole top spot among April 2026 hairstyles (9,947 likes). MOMORI landed two picks in the Top 3 this month — this #1 and the Gothic twintail at #3, Noble_Bloody — and the fact that they came out on top with two opposite directions (flicked short vs. Gothic twin) is the fun part.

It fits Shinano, Manuka, Milltina, Chocolat and others, 17 avatars in all, built for lilToon + Modular Avatar, at ¥900–¥1,000. The package includes a Unity Package, Material Pack, and PSD, so you can freely recolor it beyond the pink in the main visual.

This hair is actually MOMORI's collaboration counterpart to RINNETOKYO's China dress "Setsurei," the #4 outfit in April's report — which points to this Astel-hair from its own product page, and the thumbnail here pairs the hair with that very China dress. If you want to match the whole dragon-motif look, it's worth viewing the hair and the outfit together.

#2: LV.8+ Noir_Hair / LookVook

A silver (ash-toned) long wave that keeps the stray wisps escaping from a gathered bundle. #2 (8,556 likes). A new release from LookVook — the creator behind LV.2+ Fancy_Hair, which placed #2 back in July 2025 — and the latest entry in the "LV." series.

It fits Mayo, Kumaly, Lumina, Shinano, Manuka and others, 19 avatars in all, on the higher side within the Top 10. Each avatar gets its own bust shape keys (Breast big / small, etc.) so the long hair falls naturally along the body line. It ships with several colorways including a hologram-tinted finish plus a PSD, uses VRC_Constraint (so the latest VRCSDK is recommended), and runs on lilToon. ¥1,000.

#3: Noble_Bloody / MOMORI

A Gothic style with long black (charcoal) waves tied into twintails, accented by cross and bat hairpins, a frilled headband, and pearls. #3 (8,422 likes). MOMORI's second pick this month, following #1 Astel-hair, this one swings toward Gothic and yami-kawaii.

The hair body (about 34,810 triangles) and the decorative parts (hairpins, headband, ribbon, and pearls at about 25,042 triangles) are split into separate meshes, and PhysBone is preset so the tips sway supple. It fits Shinano, Manuka, Milltina, Chocolat and others, 17 avatars in all — the same support list as #1 Astel-hair. lilToon + Modular Avatar, with a PSD. ¥900–¥1,000.

#4: Simple Twintail Hair / Li-ne_Shop

Straightforward straight long twintails falling neatly on each side, in a clean silver-to-white, with black ribbons, a halo, and hairpins. #4 (6,333 likes). A new release from Li-ne_Shop — the creator behind the popular Lovely Low Twintail Hair — going the route of "honest straight twintails" without piling on decoration.

It fits 24 avatars, the most within the Top 10. It has 100 shape keys, supports PhysBone only, and lets you toggle the ribbon and accessories on/off and fine-tune through Modular Avatar (it uses 11 parameter memory). Its simplicity is exactly what makes it easy to pair with both demure and girly looks, and Misaki and Lime were added to the support list later. Shader is lilToon. ¥1,000.

#5: Daisy Ribbon Hair / mitokumo

Soft curly long hair accented by a side ribbon and a daisy floral ornament, in a gentle beige-to-brown. #5 (4,705 likes). Published April 1, the earliest in the Top 10, it climbed into the upper ranks by stacking likes over the full month.

It fits Shinano, Chocolat, Milfy, Manuka, Milltina and others, 15 avatars in all, built around lilToon + Modular Avatar. The soft curl and the sweet accent of a white side ribbon plus a daisy ornament make it sit naturally with girly coordinates. ¥1,200.

#6: Feathlap Hair / #9iwi

A mash-leaning men's short with strands scattered across the forehead. #6 (4,678 likes). The only men's-avatar-exclusive pick in the Top 10, it fits male avatars like Minase, Komano, Alué, Kuuta, and Baku — 10 avatars for men.

The bangs carry three-dimensional movement for a boyish form, and 25 shape keys let you adjust the strand flow. It comes in 10 colorways including black-with-pink, drops in with a Prefab drag-and-drop on Modular Avatar + lilToon. In a hairstyle category that tends to skew toward women, a men's-exclusive piece breaking into the upper ranks stands out. ¥900–¥1,200.

#7: Twirlix Twintails / Nulluno

Swirling vertical-curl twintails paired with thick blunt bangs and a braided headdress — voluminous, yume-kawaii-leaning hair in a lavender tone. #7 (4,325 likes). The balance of swaying drill curls and volume leans Lolita / girly.

The hair textures include gradient and two-tone masks, so you can combine your own two preferred colors. It fits Airi, Chocolat, Manuka, Milltina and others, 12 avatars in all; polygons are △9,308 for the main plus △20,014 for accessories, with 14 shape keys and Modular Avatar support. At ¥800–¥850, it was the most accessible price in the Top 10.

#8: Cherish Twin / Nanaha

Fluffy wavy long twintails paired with cat ears, cherry-blossom ornaments, and ribbons — sweet hair offered in several colorways from beige-pink to blonde. #8 (4,112 likes). A new release from Nanaha — the creator behind the popular Dahlia_Hair — known for the ♥_Hair series.

It fits Airi, Chocolat, Manuka, Mayo, Shinano and others, 11 avatars in all, on lilToon + Modular Avatar, PhysBone-only, with a PSD. The swaying curls layered with cat ears and cherry blossoms are built to lift a dreamy, cute coordinate. ¥990.

#9: Loose Side Tail / muu(ﾑｰ)

A side tail gathered casually at the side, with a slightly messy, effortless feel, in a casual brown silhouette. #9 (3,483 likes). A new release from muu(ﾑｰ) — the creator behind the popular Childhood Friend Nyanya Low Twin — whose calling card is a rough, never-too-tidy flow.

Leaving the gathered strands deliberately loose creates a lived-in, effortless look. It fits Milltina, Manuka, Kumaly, Chocolat, Sio and others, 15 avatars in all, built around Modular Avatar, on lilToon, with PSD/PNG textures and △17,950 polygons. ¥1,100–¥1,300.

#10: MYPonytail / MariYuri

A voluminous straight ponytail tied up high, in a brown-to-beige with a star-shaped hairpin. #10 (3,268 likes). A new release from MariYuri — the creator behind the popular Messy Long Hair — a versatile piece whose beautiful flow can go cool or girly.

It fits Milltina, Shinano, Manuka, Kumaly and others, 15 avatars in all, with △22,191 polygons, 30 shape keys, 7 meshes, 12 colorways plus a Material Pack, preset Colliders, and lilToon + Modular Avatar. Tying it up high stretches the vertical line, making it a ponytail that shines in photos too. ¥1,000–¥1,300 (use in music videos and concerts is not permitted).

April 2026 Trends

Rather than the ranking, here's what the full set of 75 hairstyles published on Booth in April shows in the data.

Metric	Value
Items in scope	75
Average likes	1,879.3
Median likes	1,323
Average price	¥727
Median price	¥800
Top 10 avg. supported avatars	~15.5
Top 10 price range	¥800–¥1,300
lilToon-tagged items / total	41 / 75 (~55%)
Modular Avatar-tagged items / total	35 / 75 (~47%)

Median likes were 1,323 and the median price ¥800. Every Top 10 pick fits 10 or more avatars, averaging around 15.5 each — generic compatibility ran a notch thicker than in July. Rather than specializing in one or two models, the works that took April's upper ranks widened the door to "will it fit the avatar I own."

Supported models: Shinano leads alone, Sio and Lumina rise

The supported-model tally tops out at Shinano 51 / Manuka 43 / Milltina 43 / Sio 42 / Lumina 42 / Chocolat 38 / Mayo 37 / Milfy 37 / Airi 35 / Rurune 34. Shinano leads alone at 51, with Manuka and Milltina tied at 43, and right behind them Sio and Lumina follow at 42. On top of the staples Shinano, Manuka, and Milltina, coverage for Sio, Lumina, and Mayo pushing into the upper ranks is what defines April's lineup.

Among Sio-compatible work, the androgynous wavy short "Flux Curl Hair" was published with a hand-drawn texture and plenty of shape keys to switch between cute and cool.

Silhouette: long leads, twintails run thick

The silhouette tally runs Long 31 / Short 20 / Twintails 17 / Blunt bangs 16 / Straight 14 / Bob 14 / Wave 12 / Black hair 12 / Flipped ends 11 / Curly 11. Long leads at 31, but twintails come in third at 17. In the Top 10, #3 Noble_Bloody, #4 Simple Twintail, #7 Twirlix, and #8 Cherish Twin are all twintail styles, and with #9's side tail and #10's ponytail joining in, "tied-up" styles lined the ranks — a month where the silhouette spread well beyond long hair alone.

For twintails, "May Twin Lady," distributed free to mark a shop opening, came out with 18 separable parts including ribbons and earrings, 12-color prefabs for recoloring, and support for 21 avatars.

Taste: girly is the majority, with a cool / men's cluster

The taste tally runs Girly 33 / Cute 24 / Natural 22 / Cool 20 / Yume-kawaii 11 / Boyish 11 / Mature 11 / Elegant 9 / Modest 8 / Dark 7. The sweet side led with Girly 33 + Cute 24, but underneath it a cool-to-men's cluster — Cool 20 and Boyish 11 — ran thick, which is April's signature. In the Top 10, #6 Feathlap broke in as men's-exclusive, while #2 Noir_Hair and #3 Noble_Bloody leaned mature and dark.

On the cool axis, "Noctra Hair," whose bangs switch in a 2-way design, came out as an asymmetric long with braids and an inner color, supporting 22 avatars centered on male models.

Hair color: brown is the most common, pink and black follow

The hair-color tally runs Brown 26 / Pink 15 / Black 15 / Beige 13 / White 13 / Silver 7 / Purple 6 / Gold 6 / Gray 3 / Red 3. Brown is the most common at 26, with pink and black tied at 15 — a picture built on natural base tones, with sweet pink and dark black running neck and neck. In the Top 10, #5 Daisy, #9 Loose Side Tail, and #10 MYPonytail sit in the brown-to-beige range, #3 Noble_Bloody in black, and #2 Noir_Hair in silver, putting calm base tones up top.

On the brown axis, "Butter Roll Hair" — two small buns at the sides over loosely waving long hair, with bell-like ornaments and an included PSD — was published as a soft, gentle piece.

Price: ¥500–999 is the majority, nothing above ¥2,000

The price spread runs Free 3 / ¥1–499 5 / ¥500–999 58 / ¥1,000–1,999 9 / ¥2,000+ 0. The ¥500–999 band holds 58 items, about 77% of the total, and there isn't a single item above ¥2,000 — a distribution packed tight into the entry-to-mid range. The Top 10, meanwhile, edges up to ¥800–¥1,300 by stacking colorways and model counts, with #7 Twirlix Twintails (¥800–¥850) the most accessible price among the upper ranks.

In the ¥500–999 band, the voluminous wavy long "SlumberBunny" was published at ¥800 with 23-avatar support — a piece that keeps the price down while taking broad generic coverage.

Wrap-up

April 2026's new hairstyles were a month where a flicked short wolf cut and silver/black mature long hair split the top spots, twintails and tied-up styles ran thick, Shinano led the supported models alone with Sio and Lumina rising, the Top 10 averaged around 15.5 supported avatars, and the price band concentrated at ¥500–999.

In the Top 3, MOMORI landed two picks — the flicked short #1 Astel-hair and the Gothic twin #3 Noble_Bloody — with the silver long wave #2 Noir_Hair sitting between them. Silhouette-wise long led, but twintails came in third and took four of the Top 10, with side tails and ponytails surfacing up top as well. On supported models, the staples Shinano, Manuka, and Milltina were followed by Sio, Lumina, and Mayo, and the Top 10 all fit 10+, averaging around 15.5. Price gathered the majority into ¥500–999, with nothing above ¥2,000.

"Flicked short and mature long splitting the top, twintails running thick, Shinano in front × broad compatibility × a price band around ¥1,000" — that's about the shortest way to sum up April 2026's new hairstyles.
