NBA 2K18 hairstyles: Everything you need to know

We haven’t seen a full breakdown of all of the new hairstyles, but we have seen the new bleached mohawk. Here is a look at the art dev trailer that shows off some of the new features in the MyPlayer creation suite.

There are a number of athletes who are currently sporting the bleached mohawk, but one of the most popular is high school junior LaMelo Ball, the son of LaVar Ball and brother of Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball.

In previous NBA 2K games, it was impossible to accurately recreate Ball’s hairstyle, but with the new additions, content creators will be able to capture Ball’s signature feature.

There are other mohawks and even more trendy hairstyles that are new to the game. We haven’t had a chance to explore all of the new options, but if the first trailer previewing the creation suite is a strong indication, the limits of the creation concept have been expanded.
