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

Here's a data-backed look at the VRChat hairstyles published on Booth in May 2026, counting down the ten that gathered the most likes. What stood out this month was the strength of regulars — the same shop taking the top spots month after month — along with the depth of twin-tails and men's styles.

Sitting at the top is an extra-long straight style that comes bundled with demon horns, bat wings, and even a segmented tail (12,161 likes). Let's start there and go through each pick.

Top 10 Hairstyles

Ranked by like count as of the aggregation (July 2026), here's each pick with the details that make it stand out.

#1: Asmodeus / MOMORI

A demon-themed, extra-long straight style that flows past the hips. The glossy silver fades to black at the tips, and paired with the heavy, downcast bangs it settles instantly into a dark-fantasy look. It took the outright #1 spot among May 2026 hairstyles (12,161 likes). A new release from MOMORI — the creator behind the popular Astel-hair.

The highlight is that the hair ships bundled with large curling horns, bat wings, and a segmented tail. The hair itself is roughly 33,137 triangles and the horns and wings add about another 28,060, so there's real mass on the decoration side too. It comes in 11 color sets, with the horns recoloring to match.

Long and short come as separate prefabs, and it supports 19 avatars including Shinano, Manuka, and Milltina. Shader is lilToon, set up around Modular Avatar, with a PSD for texture edits. ¥900–1,000.

#2: Plait-Hair / MOMORI

An androgynous, layered cut with a single thin braid trailing from the temple. The softly side-swept bangs slide right into cool- and street-leaning looks without much sweetness. It landed at #2 (9,117 likes). It's also from MOMORI, the same shop as #1 Asmodeus — meaning MOMORI took both #1 and #2 in the same month.

The back hair comes in two builds, long and short, so you can shift the length impression while keeping the same bangs. It packs a remarkable 26 color sets, plus rhinestone hairpins. Support spans Shinano, Manuka, and Milltina along with male bases like Komano, Kanata, and Minase — 19 avatars in all, so the androgynous shape and the breadth of support line up nicely. lilToon, Modular Avatar based. ¥900–1,000.

In the styling shot, this hair is paired with velvetsky's new outfit "Zenith_Suit," which I also covered in the outfit report. A hair shop and an outfit shop lending each other their pre-release work to shoot the showcase images is a nice bit of cross-category collaboration between creators — and pairing the hair with another genre's new release shows off the "how it looks worn" side that hair alone can't, making both pieces shine.

#3: Luna Wolf Hair / Pirouette

A wolf cut with lightly playful ends, trailing thin, long strands down the back into a long silhouette. The movement in the layers sits alongside the charm of the animal ears. It came in at #3 (5,127 likes). A new release from Pirouette, the creator behind the popular Wolf Float Hair — wolf silhouettes are this shop's built-up specialty.

What's fun is the ears: you can switch between upright and folded-down with a shape key. Perk them up for a sharp look or drop them for something sweeter, all on the same hairstyle.

It comes in 15 color sets, with the hair around 34,354 triangles and 48 shape keys — a thick build. Support runs to 25 avatars including Kaguya, Misaki, Kei, Minase, and Komano, among the widest in the Top 10. Colliders handle clipping. lilToon shader, ¥1,000–1,200.

#4: Glow veil twin / Nulluno

Blunt bangs over long, straight twin-tails — a jirai / yami-kawaii style. It's built on black but hides pink inner color underneath, and that "glow veil" coloring lands sweetness and edge at the same time. It reached #4 (4,371 likes).

The color play is generous: you can pick from 9 presets pairing the black base with an inner color, or use masks to remix the two tones yourself. The cross-charm ribbon ties come in 8 colors, with star and bar hair clips included too.

The hair is light at about 10,096 triangles, with 18 shape keys. It supports 14 avatars including Airi, Chocolat, Lumina, and Misaki, on Modular Avatar and lilToon. It went on sale on May 31, the same day the page went up — a right-at-month-end release. ¥800–850.

#5: Coquette Two Side Twin Tail Hair / GLAY Unknown

Small, loosely waved twin-tails tied high on either side of the face. With the long back hair and a black ribbon, it's a coquettish silhouette where sweetness and allure sit together. It placed #5 (4,197 likes). A new release from GLAY Unknown, who has been building out the "Two Side Twin Tail Hair" series — this is another entry in that lineage.

Recoloring is a one-material setup — just change the main color of the white material — and masks let you fine-tune further. It supports 12 avatars including Mayo, Kumaly, Moe, and Manuka. lilToon shader. ¥990.

#6: Break Point / yaokisub

An asymmetric silver medium cut swept long on one side. The straight bangs and the layered, lightly flicked ends make for a futuristic, cool expression. It came in at #6 (4,056 likes).

This hair released alongside the shop's new "BreakPoint" outfit, and according to the description it's the shop's first attempt at a hairstyle. Bundling hair and clothing to stand up a whole look at once, it works as an entry point for set proposals.

It ships with 14 color presets and a PS file for edits. FBX data is prepared for a range of avatars including Selestia, Manuka, and Shinano. lilToon shader, ¥900.

#7: Classic Long / Nanaha

See-through blunt bangs over extra-long straight hair that reaches below the knees — a clean, demure style. Thin braids run down the sides, and the crown is set half-up with a small bow. The eyes peek out from behind the sheer bangs for a refined, dreamy air. It reached #7 (3,916 likes). A new release from Nanaha, the creator behind the popular Dahlia_Hair.

The color is mask-based, free to dye, with five soft gradient examples on the product page. The hair accessories — a headband, X-clips, a star choker, and a dripping heart-shaped halo — come in six colorways such as pink, white × light blue, and black × red.

It supports 11 avatars including Airi, Chocolat, Manuka, and Shinano, on Modular Avatar and lilToon, with a PSD included. ¥990.

#8: Loose Pop Half Twin / Pixel Power Puff

A medium style with the top tied into two loosely waved half-twins. As the name suggests it's pop and sweet, with a little bear clip perched on top. It came in at #8 (3,842 likes). It's the shop's 10th hairstyle, released as a milestone piece.

What makes this one interesting is that it's built for deformed-proportion avatars like Kipfel and Mamehinata. With Shinano- and Manuka-type standard proportions filling the upper ranks, a hairstyle that fits rounder-headed avatars cleanly is rare — it includes 7 prefabs for Kipfel and 1 for Mamehinata. According to the description, there's also a head-pat gimmick that sways the twin-tails, and an EX menu lets you restyle on the spot.

The front and back parts are split, so you can mix it with other hairstyles for an original shape. It comes in 8 colors, at 28,278 triangles with 110 shape keys. Modeling and setup were handled by KarakuriPower, with design and texture by tabby. ¥1,200.

#9: Layered Wolf Hair / BLACK SMITH

A longer wolf cut with finely layered, scattered strands. The waviness at the tips is light, and the bangs swept to one side give it a cool, effortless feel. It placed #9 (3,455 likes). A new release from BLACK SMITH, the creator behind the popular Flow Braid Hair.

Recoloring is simple — just change the main color of a single material — with 18 color examples plus three edit masks. It supports 10 avatars including Airi, Chocolat, Manuka, and Shinano, on Modular Avatar and lilToon. ¥990–1,300.

It launched on May 5, then added Milltina support on the 7th, fixed clipping on the 9th, and added a UV guide on the 11th — a lot of small updates in the days right after release.

#10: Multi Look Short / DIVENIRE

A light short cut parted down the center. With plenty of shape keys for the bangs and sides, the concept is "many looks" — big changes in appearance from the same hairstyle. It came in at #10 (3,337 likes).

The standout is that glasses and headphones come bundled as separate prefabs. It gives you not just the hair but the small props for a boyish, androgynous character, so a "music-loving kid" look comes together the moment you put it on.

Color is freely adjustable via lilToon's main color. It supports 25 avatars including many male bases such as Minase, Komano, Bokusei, Hanka, and Alué — among the widest in the Top 10 — with a PSD for edits. AREN collaborated on the hair design. ¥800–1,000.

May 2026 Trends

Rather than the ranking, let's read the trends across all 77 hairstyles published on Booth in May.

Metric	Value
Items in scope	77
Average likes	1,719
Median likes	1,034
Average price	¥848
Median price	¥900
Top 10 avg. supported avatars	~15 (range 2–25)
Top 10 price range	¥800–¥1,300

Median likes were 1,034 and the median price ¥900. Top 10 avatar support ranges from the 25 of #3 Luna Wolf and #10 Multi Look Short down to the two deformed proportions of #8 Loose Pop Half Twin, averaging about 15. And the biggest story this month was that MOMORI took both #1 and #2 — a demon-motif extra-long at the top and an androgynous braided cut at #2, two very different directions locking down the lead.

Supported models: Manuka, Shinano, Milltina lead, with male bases thick too

The supported-model tally runs Manuka 50 / Shinano 49 / Milltina 45 / Chocolat 39 / Milfy 37 / Lumina 34 / Sio 32 / Airi 30 / Rurune 29 / Mayo 28. Shinano led alone in April, but in May Manuka edged just ahead at 50, forming a top three with Shinano and Milltina. The female bases still fill the upper ranks.

At the same time, May had a thick push toward male and androgynous bases. Here's a representative example.

GLAY Unknown's "Doberman Short Hair" is a men's short with roughly scattered tufts and a playful nape. The heavy bangs give an undone, cool silhouette, and it supports 7 avatars including Minase, Komano, and Manuka. You recolor it just by changing the white material's main color — and together with #5 Coquette, it means GLAY Unknown put out two releases in the same May.

Silhouette: long hair on top, twin-tails run deep

The silhouette tally is long hair 28 / short hair 23 / blunt bangs 18 / twin-tails 16 / wavy 12 / curly 11 / bob 10 / straight 7 / flipped ends 7 / half-twin 6. Long hair holds the top at 28, with short close behind at 23 — both ends were thick this month.

Within that, what stands out is the depth of twin-tail styles. In the Top 10, #4 Glow veil twin, #5 Coquette, and #8 Loose Pop Half Twin fill three slots with twin, two-side, and half-twin shapes. Blunt bangs also stay thick at 18, so the "bang design decides the personality" trend continues.

As a representative of the long side, this one caught my eye just outside the Top 10.

hamanosis's "Kiriri" is an elegant long style with gentle waves. You can switch between swept-up bangs that show the forehead and side-swept bangs, shifting between mature and demure. It also lets you choose between illustration-style and realistic texture materials — a careful, thorough build.

Taste: girly leads, cute and cool alongside

The taste tally is girly 24 / cute 20 / cool 20 / natural 14 / boyish 13 / yume-kawaii 10 / dark 7. Girly holds the top at 24, with cute and cool tied at 20 — sweet and cool directions sit in balance. Boyish is thick at 13, and men's-and-androgynous hair forming a layer is one of this month's marks.

Here's a representative of the girly side.

4o4o's "Angel Roll Hair" pairs fluffy rolled twin-tails with angel-wing ornaments for a sweet look. Paired with a black ribbon choker in the example, it lands right between yume-kawaii and girly. 4o4o also placed 6th with a side-bun style in the September 2025 report — a shop that steadily delivers sweet-style staples.

Hair color: brown tops for the third month, but the Top 10 leans silver

The color tally is brown 31 / silver 19 / black 18 / pink 13 / white 11 / purple 10. Brown tops the list for the third straight month (March, April, May), steady as a base color. What's interesting is that even with brown leading overall, the Top 10 leans silver — #1, #2, #5, and #6 all skew silver or gray.

As a representative of the brown side, here's one to note.

SOUR FLAVOR's "Wolffy Fuzzy Hair" is a longer wolf cut drawing soft waves. The milk-brown silhouette flows softly to the tips and leans either natural or girly. It supports 13 avatars including Manuka, Sio, and Shinra, at an easy ¥850.

Price: ~70% at ¥500–999, still zero above ¥2,000

The price split is free 3 / ¥1–499 at 1 / ¥500–999 at 52 / ¥1,000–1,999 at 21 / ¥2,000+ at 0. The ¥500–999 band holds 52 items, about 68% of the total, and the ¥500–1,999 bands together cover roughly 95%. There's still not a single item above ¥2,000, following March and April. With little room to differentiate on price, the upper ranks compete on color count, avatar support, and ease of recoloring.

Here's a pick that stood out in the ¥500–999 band.

MT47's "Eterna_hair" is a wispy bob that spreads thin toward the tips, paired with large curling horns and white cat ears for a fantasy look. An icy thorn band crosses the forehead, giving it the air of a creature from an imaginary forest. It offers 17 hair colors, supports 16 avatars, and costs ¥500 — that much world-building and color range at this price point.

Creator's-eye view of May

From the Top 10 and the month's overall numbers, here are four axes worth watching from a hairstyle creator's perspective. I've lined up three months side by side so the changes against March and April are easy to see.

Items in scope	66	75	77
Median price	¥875	¥800	¥900
Median likes	1,243	1,323	1,034

Points worth watching as a hairstyle creator:

Wrap-up

May 2026's hairstyles read as a month where the strength of regulars showed up straight in the ranking. MOMORI took both #1 and #2, GLAY Unknown put out two in the same month, and shops with past hits — Nanaha, Pirouette, 4o4o — all made appearances. However the angle of the trend shifts month to month, the creators who keep stacking each release's response onto the next are the ones filling the upper ranks.

At the same time, the substance is genuinely moving. A jirai-kei twin hiding pink under black, a unisex short that even bundles glasses and headphones, a half-twin that fits deformed-proportion avatars cleanly — a category once centered on sweet styles was steadily gaining depth from twin-tails and men's-and-androgynous hair. With "set" styles that bundle horns, wings, and tails to settle a character the moment you put them on, it's a month where you can feel the reach of the hairstyle category widening bit by bit.
