[August 2025] VRChat Hairstyle Trends & Ranking | Booth Trend Analysis

Hairstyle does a lot to set an avatar's first impression — the same outfit reads completely differently depending on whether you go short or tie it up. Among the August 2025 releases on Booth that drew the most likes, the standouts were a short cut with a gimmick that tucks the bangs behind your ear when you make a fist, an angel-wing long that fits 43 avatars for ¥500, and — in a category that usually skews sweet — several men's and androgynous shorts climbing into the upper ranks. Here are the 10 picks that broke through with a small twist on a familiar shape, one at a time, with the craft worth noting.

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: Day Layered Cut Hair / Chocolate rice

A layered bob with tips lightly swept outward, scattering silver-to-lavender-gray texture at just-above-shoulder length — a light silhouette that fits everyday wear. It took the sole top spot among August 2025 hairstyles (13,747 likes). A new release from Chocolate rice — the creator behind the popular "[Layered hush cut Hair]" — a shop that specializes in layered and wolf-cut short-to-medium styles.

It fits Sio, Manuka, Airi, Shinano, Chocolat and others, 14 avatars in all. The package is a Unity Package plus PSD, so you can recolor it freely from the texture. Chocolate rice is also the maker of "Sio" and "Mayo" — two of the avatars on its own support list — so you can pick up the hair from the same shop that made your base, all tuned to match.

#2: Ear-Tuck Gimmick Short Hair / muu(ﾑｰ)

A neat silver androgynous short. Its big selling point is the ear-tuck gimmick. In VR it's hard to pull off a fine gesture like tucking your bangs behind your ear — but this hair switches to a tucked-behind-the-ear look when you make a Fist gesture near your ear. Mid-photo or mid-conversation, you can flick the ear out and change the impression on the spot. #2 (12,064 likes). A new release from muu(ﾑｰ) — the creator behind the popular "Maji Oni Wolf."

It fits Milltina, Manuka, Chocolat, Sio, Mayo, Shinano and others, 12 avatars in all, assumes Modular Avatar, and ships as a Unity Package plus PSD/PNG textures. Shader is lilToon. ¥1,100–¥1,400. The fun of this one is that a single gimmick lets you switch how the same hair reads.

#3: Bun Side Tail Hair / Li-ne_Shop

An asymmetric silhouette with a small bun on one side and a long side tail draped on the other. A white feather ornament accents the sleek silver flow. #3 (11,584 likes). A new release from Li-ne_Shop — the creator behind the popular "Lovely Low Twintail Hair."

It fits 28 avatars — among the widest coverage in the Top 10. There are 49 shape keys, and it's PB-only. The Modular Avatar prefabs let you fine-tune the hair and toggle accessories on and off (it uses 5 parameter memory). It has been updated all the way to v1.0.6, adding Ichigo, Karin, Eku, Lumina, Ramune, Plum, and Kumaly along the way — that steady stream of added avatars gives it a long shelf life. ¥1,000.

#4: Flowing Lily / 隣の店

An elegant long style flowing straight down, adorned with a white lily floral accent. The calm beige-to-silver base and the long wisps left at the sides slip naturally into a demure outfit. #4 (10,380 likes). A new release from 隣の店 — the creator behind the popular "Rough Long Hair."

It fits Sio, Manuka, Shinano, Airi, Chocolat, Milfy, and Milltina — 7 avatars, a tighter list — but at △3,596 triangles it's notably light for the Top 10. The contents are generous for editing: Unity Package, PSD, ClipStudio, FBX, and PNG, with PB support and lilToon. The lily ornament is the star of the thumbnail's clean long look, and it balances lightness with easy customizing. ¥1,000.

#5: Felnar_Hair / Kyee_N

A cool androgynous short with textured bangs parted at the center and swept to the sides, the nape flicking outward, and a thin long strand falling from the bangs past the cheek for an effortless, face-framing touch. A calm black base, shaped to suit masculine-leaning avatars. #5 (8,894 likes).

It fits men's-leaning bases like Kei, Minase, and Komano, plus Manuka, Chocolat, Milfy, Shinano, and Milltina — 8 avatars in all. Ver1.1 added support for Kei. It's PB-only, hair only, with lilToon. In a hairstyle category that tends to skew toward women's styles, this is a short that suits masculine and androgynous avatars making it into the upper ranks. ¥950–¥1,200.

#6: angel long / mochipun

A fantastical style of straight flowing long hair paired with a set of angel wings. The wings can be separated and paired with other hair, and a shape key adjusts the angle at their roots. #6 (7,874 likes). A new release from mochipun — the creator behind the popular "Lynn Hair <41 Avatars Compatible>," a shop whose hallmark is pushing on sheer avatar coverage.

Above all, the breadth of 43-avatar support stands out. Covering that wide at a price of ¥500 makes it the most accessible pick in the Top 10. It's MA-compatible — just drop the prefab directly under the avatar — and PSD is included. Take the wings off and it works as a plain long, so it swings from an angel coordinate to an everyday long. It has kept adding models after release, including Phi, Liloumois, and Kumaly.

#7: Opal Swan Hair / Yune-Yune

A swept-up long where braided sides gather into a low bun with the tips flowing out long. The face-framing wisps and a calm ash-gray give it an elegant, mysterious presence. #7 (6,593 likes).

It fits Milltina, Milfy, Chocolat, Manuka, Selestia and others, 10 avatars in all. The contents are a Unity Package (FBX, Prefab, Material, Texture) plus PNG, with lilToon. For Chocolat it's supported with the ear position matched via a shape key — the kind of per-avatar fit adjustment that shows the care taken. ¥990.

#8: Rabbit Angel Two Side Twin Tail Hair / GLAY Unknown

Heavy bangs covering the eyes paired with long twin tails tied on both sides — a piece where sweetness and darkness coexist, the tips waving gently. #8 (6,131 likes). The newest entry in the "Two Side Twin Tail Hair" series — a new release from GLAY Unknown, the creator behind the popular "Morning Rabbit Two Side Twin Tail Hair."

This comes in two configurations, Hair only and Hair+ACC, and Hair+ACC includes bunny ears, a ribbon, hairpins, and a halo in full. Recoloring is as easy as changing the main color of the white material, with white, pink, and black examples shown. It fits Moe, Manuka, Chocolat, Airi, Shinano, Shinra, Milltina, and Sio — 8 avatars — with lilToon. ¥950–¥1,200. In August, GLAY Unknown landed two picks in opposite directions in the Top 10: this #8 and the men's short at #9, ZAZZY.

#9: ZAZZY Short Hair / GLAY Unknown

A short wolf cut with heavily scattered strands, the bangs center-parted and swept for a masculine look. There are silver-to-black examples, so it swings between androgynous and cool. #9 (6,123 likes). A new release from GLAY Unknown — the creator behind the popular "Casual Short Neo Wolf Ver.2" — the shop's second August pick after #8 Rabbit Angel.

It fits Minase, Komano, and Shinra — three men's bases, the tightest list in the Top 10. Recoloring is just a change to the white material's main color, so even with three-model coverage it's easy to shift to the hair color you want. The contents are a unitypackage (prefab, material, texture, fbx), with lilToon. Placing the sweet twin tails of #8 and this men's short in the same month is the range GLAY Unknown showed. ¥950.

#10: Seira Hair / KitsuZuri

Long twin tails with the tips curled full and small buns added at the crown. The curls spread wide to both sides for a gorgeous, princess-like presence, in a silhouette that shines in both Gothic and girly looks. #10 (6,016 likes).

It fits Airi, Chiffon, Chocolat, Lime, Manuka, Milfy, Milltina, Moe, Rurune, Shinano, Shinra, and Sio — 12 avatars in all. The contents are a Unity Package (FBX, Material, Prefab), PB-only, hair only (no PSD). The full curls and crown buns let you drop a voluminous, styled look right on, and it photographs gorgeously. ¥1,000.

August 2025 Trends

Rather than the ranking, here's what the data shows across all 84 hairstyles published on Booth in August.

Metric	Value
Items in scope	84
Average likes	2,601
Median likes	1,423
Average price	¥825
Median price	¥875
Top 10 avg. supported avatars	~15 (range 3–43)
Top 10 price range	¥500–¥1,400

Median likes were 1,423 and median price ¥875. The widest thing about the Top 10 is its avatar-coverage spread — from 43 on #6 angel long down to 3 on #9 ZAZZY. The average lands around 15, but broad general-purpose hair and tightly focused 1–3-model hair split to opposite poles in the same Top 10.

Supported models: Shinano leads alone, Kipfel rises

The supported-model tally tops out at Shinano 46 / Manuka 45 / Milltina 45 / Chocolat 36 / Sio 32 / Kipfel 32 / Milfy 30 / Rurune 28 / Shinra 27 / Airi 26. Shinano leads alone at 46, with Manuka and Milltina tied at 45 in the familiar lineup — but the eye-catcher is that Kipfel is at 32, tied with Sio in the top six. Kipfel is a base used on masculine and androgynous avatars too, and together with Shinra at 27, it reflects an August where men's / androgynous hair coverage pushed into the upper ranks.

Here's a good example of that breadth.

Pirouette's "Seraph Curl Hair" is a curled long, gently waved from a center part to the tips. It has a sheer bang material and an inner-color slot, and supports 16 avatars including Manuka, Selestia, Shinano, and MUMUS. A mature wave that swings between demure and gorgeous, it pairs broad coverage with editing freedom.

Silhouette: long and short run neck and neck

The silhouette tally runs Long 25 / Short 24 / Blunt bangs 17 / Twintails 15 / Bob 15 / Bun 13 / Medium 11 / Ahoge 10 / Straight 9 / Flipped ends 9. Long at 25 and Short at 24 sit almost level — that's the shape of August. The Top 10 had several short styles too — #1 layered bob, #2 ear-tuck short, #5 Felnar, #9 ZAZZY — so it's not all long. Bun at 13 and Twintails at 15 made tied-up styles thick as well, with #3 side tail, #7 bun, and #8/#10 twin tails all showing up high.

Here's a short-side standout.

POTATO CLOSET's "LooseCustomHair" is a custom short you can mix from 3 bang types, 2 side types, and 7 back types switchable via the EX menu. It ships with over 50 shape keys, and the hair-tie and scrunchie colors are changeable too. Fitting 11 avatars including Milltina, Minase, and Komano, it changes its look from short to half-up to ponytail depending on the combination — a piece with plenty to tinker with.

Taste: Cool takes the sole lead, with a thick boyish / men's cluster

The taste tally runs Cool 32 / Girly 29 / Natural 20 / Cute 18 / Boyish 17 / Modest 11 / Elegant 7 / Casual 7 / Mysterious 6 / Simple 5. Cool takes the sole lead at 32, with Girly close behind at 29. Since the hairstyle category usually skews girly and cute, Cool sitting on top is an eye-catching lineup. On top of that, Boyish at 17 — plus "Men's" at 12 in the keyword tally — shows a clear masculine / androgynous cluster. The Top 10 had #5 Felnar and #9 ZAZZY pushing in with men's / androgynous shorts.

Here's a men's-leaning example.

いきどまり-dead end-'s "Men's Ponytail" is a low ponytail with strands hanging roughly at the back. About 50 shape keys adjust ear-tucking and length, and it equips via Modular Avatar. Its support centers on masculine and androgynous bases — 10 avatars including Kipfel, Mamehinata, Morn, and Kanata — landing for anyone hunting for a tied-up style that suits a men's avatar. ¥800–¥950.

Hair color: brown is most common, the upper ranks go silver/gray

The hair-color tally runs Brown 23 / Silver 14 / Black 12 / Beige 10 / White 9 / Gray 4 / Pink 3 / Purple 3 / Gold 3. Brown at 23 is the most common base color, but the interesting part is that the upper Top 10 is almost entirely filled with silver, gray, and white cool tones. #1 Day Layered (silver-gray), #2 ear-tuck short (silver), #3 Bun Side Tail (silver), #7 Opal Swan (ash-gray), and #6 angel long (white-silver) lined up the calm, muted shades up top. Brown wide by count, cool tones strong at the top — that two-layer structure is August's color trend.

On the range of color choice, here's a black style with a notable spread of colorways.

QuQu's "DarkieBob" is a dark-cute bob with a rounded yet not-too-sweet silhouette. It bundles 14 material colors from dark to pastel to mesh, and includes a FakeShadow version that drops shadow on the bangs alone. At ¥500, it adjusts width, height, and bang length via 8 shape keys. More than outfits, hairstyles have made multi-color packs the norm — and the depth of that "pick your color" design shows in pieces like this.

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

The price spread is Free 0 / ¥1–499 7 / ¥500–999 46 / ¥1,000–1,999 31 / ¥2,000+ 0. ¥500–999 accounts for 46 items — about 55% of the total — and there's nothing above ¥2,000. The median is ¥875, and the Top 10 also landed within ¥500–¥1,400. Most telling is #6 angel long at ¥500 with 43-avatar support — a symbol of taking wide coverage at a low price.

In the ¥500–999 band, here's one that caught the eye with a clever accessory.

Salon de Musubi's "Luminous" is a voluminous long with a touch of natural waves. Its trick is that the included halo glows in certain worlds, and both the halo and the ear-like strands are removable. Fitting 11 avatars including Manuka, Milfy, and Shinano, at ¥800. Even in the low band, a single well-considered accessory adds atmosphere.

Points worth a hairstyle creator's attention:

Wrap-up

August 2025's hairstyles rewarded a small twist on a familiar shape more than any bold new silhouette. The ear-tuck gimmick that changed how #2 reads, #6 fitting 43 avatars for ¥500, and #5 and #9 cutting into a usually-sweet category with men's and androgynous shorts — the winning move was less about flash than about where you draw your edge. Cool taking the sole lead in taste, and the upper ranks settling on silver and gray, were the same calm intent showing through.

GLAY Unknown placing a sweet twintail (#8) and a men's short (#9) in the same month says it best: creators who keep releasing without locking into one look reached several upper-rank spots at once. A piece that covers staple bases wide and a piece tuned for just a few both landed — the breadth of August's Top 10 is the sum of that steady, deliberate output.
