Heh! Those look awful on the already (IMO at least) awful dwarves. But then again, I doubt the goblin hairstyles will look good on non-goblins anyway.
I just think they should fix the faces / animations of female dwarges before adding something like more hairstyles.

Yeah, it's pretty bad, but the humans are worse in the face department. But it's getting to the point where people only play female dwarves for the luls. I get comments all the time of "Wow, a real girl dwarf! Omg!" and holidays that require my race, my sex + race, or my class + race are a nightmare. I just give in, and stand on a street corner somewhere and let people pelt me with petals, or whatever.

I'm always the first to cheer for more options, but these hairstyles are aweful.

They are too messy, very unappealing looking. They look like goblin hairstyles to me... I wonder if Blizzard is adding some more hairstyle conversions to the barber shops or something?
My dwarf won't be using these, I love my long braids too much to swap out for something like this.

I think the styles themselves are alright, but there's too much contrast in the detail between the hair and the faces. They look like they don't match - like a bad wig.

That's because they are two hairstyles tacked on top of eachother. I'm not in beta so I can't say from experience but from the comments on Wowhead it's be figured out that they are 2 hairstyles stuck together, hense the awkward texture differences in the styles themselves.
That being said, I can't WAIT to see more hairstyles in game, especially for trolls

I hope Blizz adds lots more in game.

That's what I thought, too. E.g. in the second it says the hairstyle is called "Bun", which already exists, and you can see the bun. But then there's random tufts sticking out of it. I guess that's not intentional.
Not saying that the Goblin hairstyles would look good on dwarfs even if displayed properly, but I really think the ones we see here are just a bug.

Yeah they really don't work on dwarves...

Personally, I've tried switching my dwarf's hairstyle, but ever since I first went to the barber shop and gave her the looped braids, I just can't switch it. She's just meant to have black looped braids.
I hope they add more hairstyles for the other races. I'd love to see some of the messy worgen styles for the tauren, something other than long or short braids would be wonderful!

Yeah, they made all these cool hairstyles for worgen, and most races have to put up with Easter grass hair. I really hope they retrofit them and pass them out to the old races.

You mean theeeeeeeeeeeese hairstyles?

Sorry, I love them so, and I love that song, so I couldn't help but repost 'em. I would love to have the two puffy pigtails with long bangs, or the "Kusangi" bob, or even that one with the skull scarf!
EDIT - the song.....I don't even know what it is. The real song is Turmiön Kätilöt - MTD/DNA, and here's a video if you want to play it. It's really superior to that musak crap they replaced it with and makes the werewolf chicks seem dangerous. >D

Those look like they're going through the bug that Worgen had in early beta. Worgens, when they changed to the new model/textures, had all their hairstyles displaying at once too.
My guess is that all those Goblin hairstyles and unused Worgen hairstyles will be spread amongst the races. God I hope they add some of the Worgen hairstyles to the NE female hairstyles. I'd kill for there to be more than 1 nice long hair option with NE.

Oh absolutely, the more options the better
Some races could really do with some added hairstyles, like trolls and orcs. Nice big wild hair would look awesome on a female orc I think. I'd love really long hair, like night elves and female dwarves get on my human mage as well.
I'd also would love more haircolors, like blue for gnomes, and a nice dark brown (like the blood elves and gnomes get) for humans.
At least this is a sign they are working on more options, hopefully come Cata we'll have more choice at the hairdressers

I agree, this looks like a bug. I actually kinda like the first one, which appears to be the only unbugged one.

Something like this would be cool. I'll make more of these when I come back from dinner. Brb
I would have made her a hunter, but WMV only lets me display the DK eyes. Bah.

Haha when you said you had something in mind that's the one I thought of. It immediately jumped out at me, I'd love to have that on my tauren druid.

(Yeah I know we're talking dwarves here but you know.... a gal can dream, right?)

Uh, let me see if I can do that on a tauren...brb again.

I'd actually use that on a toon, I think.
WTB more dwarven hairstyles like the double braids - cause they flyyyyyy on casts!

Your wish is my command. =)
I feel like I screwed it up, because I didn't make her wear armor, and I couldn't fudge the ends of the hair next to her fur. Oh well. =x
