[February 2026] VRChat Hairstyle Trends & Ranking | Booth Trend Analysis

Cat ears, lop ears, wolf ears, fox ears — count the ear types alone and you get the mood of February 2026's new hairstyles on Booth. Line up the top ranks and one shared thread stands out: designs that bundle the hair, the animal ears, and sometimes a tail and accessories into a single package.

At the top sits a fluffy silver bob that bundles large cat ears with four hair accessories (15,557 likes). Let's start there and go through the lineup one piece at a time.

📊 About the data　Compiled: 2026-07-13 / Scope: hairstyles published on Booth between 2026-02-01 and 2026-02-28 with 300+ likes (63 items)

Top 10 Hairstyles

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

#1: Neko Tied Bob Hair / Li-ne_Shop

A new release from Li-ne_Shop — the creator behind the popular "Lovely Low Twin Tail Hair." A fluffy silver bob paired with large cat ears; as of the compile date (July 2026) it sits at 15,557 likes, taking February's sole top spot with a lead of roughly 5,900 over second place.

It carries 92 shape keys, switching bang styles, short/long length and even the cat ears' tilt (up/down) inside the same prefab — so a single hair swings from bob to medium with plenty of expression in between.

The signature move is the four bundled hair accessories: a purple heart earring, a translucent ear halo, a tied pin trailing a black ribbon, and a hairpin with a blue plaid ribbon — all toggling individually from the Expression menu. The area around the ears completes itself without shopping for separate accessories, which is the big difference from other bob-type hairs.

The color side runs deep too: 38 base materials plus three palette modes — Three Color Mix, a root-to-tip Gradient two-tone, and a Secret two-tone that hides an accent color in the tips. It fits Airi, Shinano, Chocolat, Manuka and others, 22 avatars in all (Riru, Mayo and Misaki support added after release), with Modular Avatar prefabs for some avatars (13 parameter memory). Shader is lilToon, PB only. ¥1,000.

#2: Lozy Hair / Nanaha

A new release from Nanaha — the creator behind the popular "Dahlia_Hair." It follows January's Maro_Hair (ranked #4) for a second straight month in the Top 10, this time stepping away from the flower-named series toward a languid, moody look. As of the compile date, 9,693 likes.

The silhouette is an extra-long fall reaching the knees, with a single thick braid dropped on one side for an asymmetric line. The gradient dyeing catches the eye — blue-purple into pink, or black-purple into pale blue, the color switching dramatically from top to bottom.

Shape keys number 40+ across four blocks — Back / Front / Braid / Side — adjusting spread, braid sway and length to the avatar's body. Interference issues that knee-length hair tends to cause get absorbed inside the prefab.

The other unique inclusion is a heart-shaped particle effect floating beside the face. It's built in as a prefab under the Head bone, recolorable via material (and deletable if you'd rather go without). It fits Airi, Chocolat, Shinano, Manuka and others, 12 avatars in all; lilToon + Modular Avatar required, PB only. ¥990.

#3: kurage long / mochipun

A new release from mochipun — the creator behind the popular "Lynn Hair." Coverage jumps from the previous work's 41 avatars to 62, making this February's standout wide-coverage entry in the Top 10. As of the compile date, 7,471 likes.

True to the name — "kurage" means jellyfish — it's an extra-long straight fall that flows and spreads softly to the tips. Lop ears and a fluffy tail both come bundled, and the hair-ears-tail set switches together across roughly 14 colorways.

The coverage is the story: beyond the standard Shinano–Manuka–Milltina line, the 62-avatar list reaches male bases and chibi bases alike. Setup is Modular Avatar drag-and-drop — the prefab goes straight under the avatar — and a PSD is bundled. 62 avatars for ¥500 is a build that pays off more the more avatars you own.

#4: Stile Lupo Hair / DIVENIRE

"Stile Lupo" is Italian for "wolf style," and true to the name this gothic-leaning medium hair ships with large wolf ears as standard. As of the compile date, 7,309 likes.

The silhouette is an ash-brown medium cut with loose face-framing strands falling over the forehead. Silver chains wrap around the wolf ears, letting the ornament live along the ear line, and a bushy wolf tail is bundled too — hair, ears and tail assemble a complete wolf motif.

Structurally it splits into five independent prefabs — ear / front / side / back / tail — with shape keys grouped by block (front, side, back, ear & acc) to dial in length and volume per avatar. Colors add 12 Additional Colors on top of the default ash brown, swinging the mood from gothic to pastel.

It fits Manuka, Shinano, Milltina, Chocolat and others, 20 avatars in all (Suzuya support added after release). The list mixes in male-leaning avatars — Bokusei, Komano, Hanka, Minase — so boyish and girlish characters can share the same hair. Its lane is a quiet, composed cool, distinct from January's #9 Rock Cat Side Tail Hair and its rock lean. lilToon + Modular Avatar. ¥700.

#5: Milk Tea Twintails / 4o4o

A two-tier twin-tail design: short bundles tied high on the head, with extra-long falls flowing from beneath them down to the waist. A soft lace headdress and small ribbons run along the hair, and the milk-tea palette the name promises takes the lead role. As of the compile date, 5,427 likes.

Colorways include silver-blue, milk-tea beige and lavender among others, and in every one the headdress and ribbons sit in tones that blend with the hair color. The contrast between the voluminous upper tier and the straight lower fall is distinct, so the "tied up" silhouette reads clearly from the front and the side alike.

It fits Airi, Kumaly, Milfy, Milltina and others, 11 avatars in all, with Manuka, Moe, Chocolat and Mayo support added in post-release updates. Ships as a unitypackage plus PSD/PNG textures; shader is lilToon. ¥850.

#6: Valen_Hair / Kyee_N

The narrowest coverage in the Top 10 at 5 avatars — a men's-avatar special. It fits Kei, Hanka, Minase, Komano and Shinano, honing the shape to sit naturally on boyish builds. As of the compile date, 4,916 likes.

The silhouette is a gray boys' short with the bangs swept up at an angle for a clean, fresh look. The main visual pairs a striped shirt with a black jacket — a class-president sort of stance — and Ver1.1 added Kei support.

Shape keys cover the bangs (Front_Short / Front_Long / Front_Move) and the side-back group (Side_Close / Side_Long / Back_Long / Back_Short / Ahoge_OFF), tuning how the fringe sweeps and how full the back sits per avatar. Colors include wine red, pink, pale beige, pale gray and black, giving it range from cool to sweet.

In a hairstyle category where men's avatars have few options, this creator keeps filling the niche. lilToon, PB only, hair-only listing. ¥950–¥1,200.

#7: Falling Star Hair / MOMORI

A full swing into girly: pale-pink extra-long twin tails plus a half-up. Large ribbons and fine silver-chain ornaments gather around the face, set against the soft cherry-toned volume. As of the compile date, 4,415 likes.

The tips fall below the chest, and ribbons tied at the twin roots create a two-tier silhouette — half-up above, twin tails below. Colorways total 28 across solids, highlights and two-tone gradients: not just pink but white, black, brown, blue, lavender and teal, the silhouette staying put while the color swings wide.

It's built from seven independent prefabs — Bang / Back / Side / Front Side / Twintail / Chains / Ribbons — so recombinations work: detach the twin-tail section for a half-up straight, or switch off the ribbons and chains for a simpler read. The promo shots also pair it with gothic-leaning outfits, making clear it isn't locked to the school-girly lane.

It fits Shinano, Kumaly, Plum, Chocolat and others, 17 avatars in all. lilToon required, Modular Avatar recommended. ¥900–¥1,000.

#8: Kogitsune Bun Hair / Pirouette

A new release from Pirouette — the creator behind the popular "Wolf Float Hair." Having stacked up wolf-ear and cat-ear hairs, the creator now brings a fox ears × bun combination. As of the compile date, 3,932 likes.

The silhouette gathers the hair into a bun at the back with long side strands left flowing. The fox ears stand cleanly at a natural size, and together with the bun they raise the information density of the back view.

Colorways start from 24 base colors spanning black, silver, brown, pink and blue, plus a customization mask for two-color blends and a dedicated material slot for inner color. It properly serves the crowd that wants to build their own hair color. Its 44 shape keys switch bun size, side-strand length and bang styles.

Specs are 45,439 polygons / 3 materials. It fits Lumina, Manuka, Selestia, Kumaly and others, 15 avatars in all, with Modular Avatar pre-configured and lilToon as the shader. ¥1,000–¥1,400.

#9: Yumi Long Hair / DanaStudio

The silhouette pairs a pink-beige long with large fox ears. Feather-like white detailing is drawn into the ears, pushing the fox ears toward "fur you can read" rather than a simple shape. As of the compile date, 3,822 likes.

The tips reach below the chest in an extra-long fall with a gentle wave. Against the warm pale tone of the main visual, the 22-color range spans pastels, vivids and darks, so the fox-ear style re-dresses to whatever theme an avatar carries.

It fits Milfy, Milltina, Chocolat, Manuka and others, 16 avatars in all; PhysBone supported, lilToon shader. February's Top 10 carries two fox-ear entries — #8 Kogitsune Bun Hair and this — a sign the animal-ear menu has widened beyond the cat-ear default. ¥1,000–¥1,100.

#10: Slumber Wolf Hair / わをんワールド

A languid wolf cut built to flatter a dreamy, heavy-lidded expression. The bangs and side strands deliberately hang heavy, shaping a flow that suits a downcast gaze. As of the compile date, 3,809 likes.

Adjustability is the strong suit: shape keys stretch the bangs, sides and the back in three tiers (upper, middle, nape) independently, and six ahoge strands each toggle off individually. The wolf cut's flicked nape tucks in to match any avatar's neckline. Nineteen base color textures come bundled along with a bang mask for color editing.

At 14,959 polygons it sits on the light side of the Top 10, and the Modular Avatar prefab installs with a single drag-and-drop. It fits Shinano, Manuka, Milltina, Rurune and others, 14 avatars in all (Ramune, Kumaly and Sio support added after release). PhysBone configured, lilToon shader. ¥900.

February 2026 Trends

Stepping back from the ranking, here's what the data says about all 63 hairstyles published on Booth in February.

Metric	Value
Items in scope	63
Average likes	2,284
Median likes	1,132
Average price	¥851
Median price	¥900
Top 10 avg. supported avatars	~19 (5–62)
Top 10 price range	¥500–¥1,000

Median likes sit at 1,132 and the median price at ¥900. Top 10 coverage runs from 5 avatars at #6 up to 62 at #3 — a month where ultra-wide coverage and tight specialization shared the same ranking.

Supported models: the Shinano–Manuka–Milltina line holds

The supported-model tally leads with Shinano at 41 / Manuka at 40 / Milltina at 40 / Sio at 35 / Chocolat at 35 / Milfy at 35. With 41 of 63 items (about 65%) supporting Shinano, the distribution shows the shared-base line still anchoring how hairstyles ship, even as raw counts came down from January (Shinano 50 / Manuka 44 / Milltina 44).

The Top 10's average coverage rose to about 19 avatars from January's ~14. #3 kurage long's 62-avatar reach lifts the average, while 10-plus-avatar generalist support remains the mainstream.

On that same line, a strong cat-ear entry sat just outside the ranking.

MariYuri's "Twinkle☆Cat" is a cyber-leaning piece: silver drill twin tails equipped with glowing gaming headphones and electronics-styled black cat ears. A follow-up to January's #7 Nya nya nya in the cat-ear line, it lets you switch the headphone glow across 20+ colors, and fits 13 avatars.

A braided entry dressed for the season came from another regular on this line.

Chocolate rice's "Sweet Drop Braids Hair" drops large silver braids over both shoulders. It continues the braid lane from Bold Chunky Twin Braids Hair, featured in January's trends section, this time with heart motifs scattered for the holiday mood. It carries roughly 31 colors, fine-grained shape keys for the braid shapes, and 16-avatar support.

Silhouette: long stays near 40%, buns and wolf cuts join in

The silhouette tally: long hair 26 / twin tails 15 / straight 14 / short 13 / wave 12 / blunt bangs 10. Long leading at roughly 40% matches January's structure (35 items), but the February twist is buns at 7 and wolf cuts at 7 surfacing in the upper block — echoed in the Top 10 by the #8 bun and the #10 wolf cut.

Among the tied-up styles, a free entry stood out.

みすずまふの店's "Yachiyo Hair Set" loops the twin tails into ring-shaped coils with a silver-to-pink gradient, built for Japanese-style outfits — and it's free. PhysBone comes configured, making it February's notable zero-cost way to try the full traditional look.

Taste: girly leads, cool and natural pull level

The taste tally: girly 25 / cool 21 / natural 21 / cute 15 / boyish 11. Girly stays first as in January (32), but February's structure has cool and natural tied for the second group. The Top 10 reflects it: #4 Stile Lupo's quiet cool, #6 Valen_Hair's men's short, #10 Slumber Wolf's languid lean — plenty of lanes besides sweet.

Here's a men's piece carrying that cool weight.

Neochan_shop's "Veltail Cut Hair" makes its case with a main visual pairing a black-haired and a white-haired duo. A men's short with a lightly played nape, it fits 8 avatars — and alongside #6 Valen_Hair, it shows the men's-base slot working reliably in February too.

Hair color: silver takes sole first, pink catches black

The hair-color tally: silver 18 / brown 12 / pink 11 / black 11 / white 9. January ran a big three of brown 22, black 20 and silver 19; in February silver stands alone at the top and pink pulls level with black. The Top 10 leans the same way — the silver bob at #1, milk-tea beige at #5, pale pink at #7, pink-beige at #9.

Here's one of the pieces behind silver's lead.

ぽた屋's "Muzosa Noble" gathers a silver-blue semi-long into a loose side bun. As the beret-and-glasses styling shows, it aims exactly where the name points — effortless yet refined — and at ¥650 it widens the base of the silver-hair wave.

Price: about 67% at ¥500–999, nothing above ¥2,000

The price tally: ¥500–999 at 42 / ¥1,000–1,999 at 18 / ¥1–499 at 2 / free at 1 / ¥2,000+ at 0. With 42 of 63 items (about 67%) in the ¥500–999 band, concentration tightened beyond January's ~62%. The Top 10's single-item prices also stay within ¥500–¥1,000 — no premium slot like January's #10 H25 Silky Long (¥1,500) this time.

Here's a piece that stretched its coverage inside that sweet spot.

kokoro's "MARI HAIR" pairs softly waving brown twin tails with a plaid school look, covering 16 avatars at ¥900. Keeping the price in the core band while stretching the support list is this bracket's winning formula, executed straight.

Points worth a hairstyle creator's attention:

Wrap-up

February 2026's new hairstyles were the month the package's center of gravity moved from "just the hair" to "the whole area around the face — ears, tail, accessories, even effects." Animal ears came standard on half the Top 10, and with about 67% of items concentrated in the ¥500–999 core band, the density race played out through bundles and colorways instead of price. The emblem is the first-place Neko Tied Bob Hair, layering four menu-toggled accessories over cat ears and fitting 38 colors with three palette modes into ¥1,000.

The continuity of names was just as striking. Nanaha followed January's Maro_Hair for a second straight month, mochipun stretched coverage from 41 avatars to 62, and MOMORI kept polishing the girly mainline. Alongside them, newer names carved in with a two-tier twin-tail and a languid wolf cut — a healthy month where established and rising creators each claimed ground on their own strengths.
