Getting the player character's hair color

Is it possible to query which hair color the player's character is currently using? I haven't even found anything that returns this information while interacting with a barber shop.

If the cost is 0, that's the current color.

(There may be another way, but that's how you can tell.)

The fourth return will be true if the currently showing hair color matches the one that your character is using, otherwise it will be false. You can get more information here.

I will test that again when I get home, but iirc the first return value of GetBarberShopStyleInfo(2) was nil when I tried it. So I can only find out if the current hair color matches the one selected at the barber shop, but still don't know which one that is.

/run print(GetBarberShopStyleInfo(2)) returns

Code:

nil nil 111734 true

[Edit] 111734 is the cost of changing the hair color; it doesn't matter if the used hair color is the same as the selected one. The 4th return value is true if the hair colors are the same. Nothing indicates the actual color, though.

Does this help? See the code example at the bottom. For the second link, see if it works similarly to the first.

That returns a string indicating what "hair" customization means for your character's race. Either "NORMAL" or "HORNS". The example shows how you get a localized description, e.g., "Hair Style" or "Hair Color".
