How do you get more hairstyles in sky cotl?

So, you’ve been gliding around Sky: Children of the Light, looking like a majestic little candle-ghost, and then it hits you that everyone else has way cooler hair. Someone’s rocking a fluffy fro, another’s got that slick wind-swept look, and you’re just there in default mode like: “Hello, yes, I am Sky Kid #37.”

Yeah, been there.

If you’ve ever asked yourself “How do I get more hairstyles in Sky COTL?”, you’re not alone. And luckily, the answer doesn’t involve black-market sky salons or overpriced wing currency (well, not always).  Let’s break it down.

First Things First: What Are Hairstyles in Sky, Anyway?

Okay, quick reality check—hairstyles in Sky aren’t just cosmetic fluff. They’re part of your identity in the game. Like, imagine saving spirits and hugging strangers with the wrong haircut. Unforgivable.

Hairstyles are part of your cosmetic customization options, which also include capes, masks, pants, and accessories. But we all know hair’s the crown. 

So, how do you expand your hair closet?

1. Unlock Hairstyles Through Spirits (Your Main Plug)

Collect Spirits to Access Cosmetics

The primary way to snag new hairstyles is by collecting spirits in the game’s realms. Every realm (Isle of Dawn, Hidden Forest, etc.) has spirits you can rescue. Once you do, they unlock cosmetic trees—and guess what sits on that tree sometimes? A hairstyle.

• Step-by-step:
  
  • Find the spirit and complete its memory quest (the glowing trail thing).
  • Return to the Home area and meditate at the shrine.
  • Spend hearts and candles to unlock their cosmetic tree items.
  • Boom: new hair unlocked.

Pro Tip:

Not every spirit gives you a hairstyle, so don’t get your hopes up every time. It’s like a loot box with better lighting.

2. Seasonal Spirits = Limited-Time Hair Goals

Wait, There Are Seasonal Hairstyles?

Oh yes, darling. Limited-edition is real in the Sky world. Each season in the game introduces Seasonal Spirits, which come bearing gifts: emotes, cosmetics, and exclusive hairstyles.

• How to Get Them:
  
  • Buy the Season Pass (unless you love grinding… and I mean grinding).
  • Complete quests for seasonal spirits.
  • Spend seasonal currency (aka Seasonal Candles) to unlock their goodies.

FYI: Some hairstyles are only available during a season’s run, so if you miss them… yeah, they go poof until a possible Traveling Spirit return.

3. Traveling Spirits: Your Second Chance Fairy Godparents

Ever miss a hairstyle and think, “Well, guess I’ll just cry in the vault”?
Enter Traveling Spirits.

Every other weekend (roughly), a past spirit returns sometimes with hairstyles in tow. These are spirits from previous seasons, giving you a chance to grab what you missed.

• Cost: Usually higher than usual. Think 2 hearts, 5-6 candles, maybe even Ascended Candles (the glowy rare ones).
  
• But hey, if the hair is , it’s totally worth the splurge.

4. The Ultimate Flex: Hair from the Ultimate Gifts

Each season has an Ultimate Gift Tree, unlocked by offering Ascended Candles. This is where the elite stuff lives—think fancy hairstyles, glittery capes, and cosmetics that scream “I did the grind and I liked it.”

• How to Access:
  
  • Fully unlock seasonal spirits.
  • Offer ascended candles at the temple shrines.
  • Unlock the Ultimate Gift cosmetics, which often include killer hairstyles.

Warning: This isn’t for the faint of candle. You’ll need time, patience, and probably a Sky addiction.

5. Buyable Cosmetics (Yes, Real-World Money Alert)

Okay, so this one’s controversial. Sky occasionally releases IAP (in-app purchase) packs that include hairstyles.

You can buy these directly, no candles or grinding involved. Just your sweet, hard-earned (or parent-gifted ) real money.

IMO, IAP hairs are usually aesthetic but not always superior to seasonal ones. But if you see something you have to have, well, your wallet knows what to do.

6. Events and Special Occasions = Surprise Hair Drops

Occasionally, the game drops hairstyles during special events like the Days of Bloom or Days of Feast.

These are rare and sometimes free (YES, FREE) or tied to limited quests. Keep your notifications on, stalk the Sky Twitter or Discord, and don’t blink. You snooze, you lose… the hair. 

Quick Tips for Collecting Hairstyles Faster

• Farm candles daily. Like, religiously. You need them for almost everything.
• Trade hearts with friends. That social tree? Pure gold.
• Track Traveling Spirits. Websites and Sky communities list upcoming spirits.
• Get the Season Pass if you’re serious. It gives you access to the full seasonal cosmetic tree.
• Don’t sleep on dailies. Easy candles = faster unlocks.

But… Why Bother With All These Hairstyles Anyway?

Umm… have you seen your character in the wind with that fluffy cloud puff? It’s about style, self-expression, and a little bit of flexing. Let’s be honest we all like being the coolest-looking Sky Kid in the shared space.

Plus, changing your hair is like changing your mood. Want to look like a wise elder today? Go gray. Feeling quirky and carefree? Slap on the flower bun and vibe.

Final Thoughts: Become the Sky Hair Icon You Were Born to Be

So, next time you see someone flaunting a majestic mane while you rock the basic buzz, don’t sulk and grind smarter.
Unlock those spirits, stock up on candles, and make friends (with hearts to trade, obviously ).

Sky COTL isn’t just about saving spirits, it’s about doing it in style.
Now go out there and be the fabulous, glowing cloud child you were destined to be. And remember: hair today, slay tomorrow.
