I'm not a gamer but I've always been obcessed with hairstyles in video games. I know it is not your 1st episode of the serie. But I'll just take advantage of the fact you just posted and there's only a few comments to say a big thank you to help us recreating such cool/cute hairstyles !

[@mcwjes]

Somebody get this baby a bitty kitty wig! Live your dreams, Rollie!

[@justsomeguywithasmile8953]

[@mojojojo4726]

[@coffee1855]

[@juliasousa6299]

[@daniv3212]

[@beckylietzow]

This

[@winterbear658]

Ikr

[@StefanieRoyMusic]

I wish I had hair thick enough to do these styles, omgggg. I LOVE these videos!

[@katnyan4078]

Your hair videos never fail to be amazing! You're such hair-goals to me omg, I can't wait for my hair to grow longer~

[@mj6312]

If there's a continuation do you think you can do Marianne's hairstyle from fire emblem: three houses? It's gorgeous and you explain everything so well haha

[@ethereals.channel.]

“Haha. Good luck.” That sounds like something I’d say omfg 😭😭

[@l0l4b3rry9]

Yesss I needed this

[@san1883]

Without a doubt the most creative person on youtube when it comes to hair. You never disappoint

[@cocomump]

That last look in particular is so cute! Love the accessories you picked!

[@intannisita1065]

I Love Riku & Lulu From Final Fantasy

[@z3nnah310]

Tysm for including everything you wore in the description! You are an absolute angel :D

[@blxssoms9500]

beautiful as always!! good work ^^

[@thetkennedy]

omg! It's so cute seeing my name at the end, along with of course all the other amazing patreons! 💕

[@KuroUsagi84]

Recently dyed my split hair colour away but seeing how easy you make sectioning hair look with your hairstyle vids makes me want to dye it back 😩

[@thatnerdartist142]

I learned how to braid because of this video ! She's sounds so kind and gentle, and the way she shows you how to do the styles is so easy to follow !! I'm going to work towards my goal of styling my hair more often ♥

[@parnozika]

I'm so happy you did Leixia from soulcalibur! I didn't think you would pick my request since she isn't very well known but I'm so happy you did it turned out so cute💗(she's one of my favorites as well💗🥺)

[@maevefearne]

“The split hair agenda” absolutely, i have purple and blue but ive done split sooo many times im a big fan

[@CimeEra]

All the hairstyles look amazing on you omg!! Also, Im actually loving the asymetrical bangs!!

[@alyssiaa2b14]

All the hairstyles are so beautiful but the last one is so fun 💕

[@saranghaehour]

how can someone not only dye their hair more 4 times have a under-cut but now has hair dyed 2 colours .... and still look amazing 🤩 always 🥺❤️ Edit:Tysm for the likes!

[@chiuxxtrain]

i just realized aerith and cinque (ff type-0) have the same hairstyle, the only difference is aerith doesnt have a full fringe. totally thought mei was doing cinque bc of the bangs at first lmaoo

[@karakurie]

Ah! Not a big deal, but it's KainE ka-i-ne. After you said Street fighter and then Kane I thought you meant Billy Kane lolol. I remember for picture day in elementary school I did my hair like Chunli. I was obsessed with that style. I wanted to be Chunli for so long so this is super nostalgic for me! ♥️ Edit: Also that Riku look is really giving me vibes of Rainie Yang's looks in the Devil Beside You. She had some really cute hairstyles in that, lots of braids. Edit again: I love all the characters you chose especially Leixia and Talim were my mains in Soul Caliber

[@cruzi.2853]

im letting my hair grow just for these.. i've liked all your hairstyle videos despite having short hair for a while so im hyped for when its long to try them all out hehe

[@jellibeans4440]

[@Ivymasuma]

Sister! I have a request can you please make a hairstyle tutorial of the Chinese Donghua (anime) name: jade dynasty and the character name: Xiao bai please 😭😭🙏🙏🙏😭😭

[@viviankate7240]

Me not having fringe.. Cant do any styles.. Sadness. I realized japenese just love fringes. Its a asian thing i guess. Being malaysian chinese, i know alot of ppl having fringe.. Then again i dont like the feeling of fringe on the forehead. I heard from somewhere in youtube saying that fringe is like a cheat to make you look youthful. Aww man.. But you can do so many styles with having fringe... Dilemma..

[@cris-pn1kw]

I wish I could do this but I have short hair now :(
