Mass Effect 1 Hairstyles: Every Hairstyle & When You Can Change It

Making sure your Commander Shepard looks suave as hell for every occasion is all part of the fun in Mass Effect 1. You’ll likely spend ages going through the various character creation settings to find the look that feels right for your Normandy squad leader. In this Mass Effect hairstyles guide, we’ll run you through every male and female hairstyle in the game, and answer whether or not you can change your haircut after finishing the character creation process at the beginning of the game.

All Male Shepard Hairstyles

There are 24 hair options for the ‘male’ gender in Mass Effect 1. A fair few of these look the same, just with slightly different detailing or tweaks to a style. We’ve got screenshots of them all below.

All Female Shepard Hairstyles in Mass Effect

Likewise, there are 24 hair options for the ‘female’ gender in Mass Effect 1. Again, a fair few of these look similar, but with slightly different detailing or tweaks to a style. We’ve got screenshots of them all below.

When Can You Change Hairstyle in Mass Effect Legendary Edition?

Unfortunately, you can only change your Shepard’s hairstyle in between each game.

This is part of the ‘new game’ process in Mass Effect 2 and 3, where you import your save data from the previous title(s). Each game adds some new hairstyles (and hair colors) into the game, and we’ll be updating this post in the coming days with those, too.

It’s not possible to change hairstyle in Mass Effect 1 after you’ve selected it at the start.
