This Monday’s release brought a new surprise for us. What looked like a normal Tress Up release came with an “improvement” that some players have been asking for a while: hairs that can be layered with the Stardesign masks. 

No, the game hasn’t been updated (sadly), but at least they’re trying to listen to users and find a way to deliver what players want. After the more detailed skins added in the Underneath Stardoll, now they brought the Tress Up hairstyles in the usual way plus a BP version that can be used in the jewelry category, allowing those who want to wear them to keep their facial masks and features made in Stardesign Hair Studio.

The not so good part is that we can’t use hair dyes or choose the color we want, since it functions as a jewelry piece, so it’s limited to the color chosen by the illustrator. At least some of the styles come with 2/3 extra color options. Another thing is that there’s a small “gap” between the doll and the hair, even after resizing, but this can be fixed by adding a Stardesign hair piece behind the doll to fill the space.

What do you think of this? I personally really like that they kept doing Tress Up, especially now that the design wigs keep increasing in price and are getting very expensive, and also many dolls prefer using the game provided hairs. With this new option, more dolls will be able to use Tress Up. Can’t lie, I’m already eyeing some of these hairstyles to buy. Will you be using them too?

After many years without a new collection, today we got an update at the Tress Up Hair store.

It includes two new floors with new hairstyles, some of which have two different versions of the same hair. I really liked some of them, but unfortunately, I can't wear them because the face masks don't layer properly with this type of hair. According to Vulacano, he asked the Stardoll team to also upload the 'jewelry' version for sale, but they haven't done it, which is a shame. Still, depending on the color you choose, some styles can blend decently with face masks if you want to give it a try.

I really appreciate that they continue updating Tress Up, since not everyone can or wants to pay high prices for Stardesign hair.
