ooo... and speaking of which, this is a 50's thing, they still had the demob mentality back then. Hence all the suits look like demob suits, all the hair is short etc. WWII had an enormous affect on fashion, for both men and women. (Women in dungarees and jumpsuits? who'd have thunk it?). It wasn't until the generation after that fashion started to change, the rocker look etc, and that was mostly to counteract the blandness of the demob generation.

So long hair in Fallout is more likely down to lack of scissors than a fashion statement.

(I love long hair, on men and women. They have always worn it like that. It's the demob/McCarthy mentality that labels long-haired men "communists" and "Un-American" etc. Didn't Custer have long hair? I rest my case)

In F3, mods gave new, great hairstyles.

The demos I've seen of FNV have the faces and hairstyles looking VERY similar to F3.

Why should the hairstyles look "50's"?

It's been over 200 years after an apocalypse.

Look back 200 years and tell me hairstyles haven't changed.

For me I usually use Smooth Wave and sometimes use Rough Beard with it. It's my favorite combo IMO, and it also reminds me of dear old Dad T_T

I like clean cut and machievelli

Who says we can't look neat and nice out there in the wastes.
