Can you change your hair color in Splatoon 3?

Like your ink color, you cannot change your hair color manually. It is determined by the color of the last multiplayer match you played. After leaving the lobby, your hair will remain the same color as your team's previous color. Alternatively, you can exit the game and reload it to change your hair color randomly.

As you cannot manually change your hair or ink color, you are stuck with whatever the game decides to give you. If you are someone who enjoys taking photos in Splatoon 3, cycle through matches until you get the perfect color. Otherwise, just enjoy the chaos of your ever-changing Inkling and Octoling.
