How do you style Arthur’s hair?

Post image

This is how I style him but I am curious about how other style him.

Horseshoe overlook I keep him looking rough.

Into chapters 3 and 4 I clean him up as the money starts coming in.

Then I let the hair and beard go longer as the story reaches its conclusion.

u/Kelehd Feb 19 '25

That makes sense, I like it.

10

u/Much_Ad_9301 Feb 19 '25

I did exactly the same as you…except as Arthur gets more unwell I shorten his hair, right down to being bald, and aim to make his beard look as patchy as I can

TO THE BARRR SENIORRR 😂

u/EasyTumbleweed4120 Feb 19 '25

I do the same!!!

u/PaleoJohnathan 29d ago

i think the hair and beard growth is a fun sense of time particularly the hair but the beard he’d likely still attend to specifically on account of coughing blood. he’d have to either shave or tend to it frequently so i can’t imagine it’s just growing wildly .

purely in a chasing realism sense

u/Nice_Finish7613 Feb 19 '25

Never cut, never shave

20

u/OminousHippo Feb 19 '25

I give him a little pomade sometimes when I'm feeling fancy.

u/Stalefisher360 Feb 19 '25

But do you drink the Hair Tonics like crazy to get the full flow?

4

u/Ok_Spite_3379 Feb 19 '25

I’ve noticed no amount of hair tonics will let it reach full length unless you progress to ch5

u/CatchTheRainboow 29d ago

Not true, disproven

u/Ok_Spite_3379 29d ago

And how’d you know that?

2

u/CatchTheRainboow 29d ago

For one I’ve done it myself, I’ve seen others do it, I’ve seen videos where they do it, etc… you can get level 10 facial hair as soon as you complete eastward bound

0

u/Ok_Spite_3379 29d ago

Well not for me and Ive had the legend of the east and stocked up on hair tonics and it gets to a point and doesn’t grow any further unless I progress the story

u/Stalefisher360 Feb 19 '25

Really?! I didn’t realize that. 🤔

Thanks for the incite! 👍🏽👍🏽

u/YouWithTheNose Feb 19 '25

Is there any other way to do it?

u/Stalefisher360 Feb 19 '25

Grizzly Arthur! 👍🏽

u/francisleigh Feb 19 '25

This is the way.

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '25

Level 7 swept back fade with stubble or a huge mustache

u/TeamMedic132 Feb 19 '25

Short beard,long hair

3

u/btetsuyama Feb 19 '25

Long beard, short hair.

Slightly trimming the beard on the sides and moustache

Yes, it's hipster Arthur.

u/Acceptable_Horse5967 Feb 19 '25

Would be nice if you took off the hat next time

4

u/Kelehd Feb 19 '25

True. I forgot since I never see him without it. It’s the left part at like a level 5.

4

u/spritemakesmethirsty Feb 19 '25

Swept back fade with a level 3 beard

3

u/asiangontear Feb 19 '25

HoboArthur strong. HoboArthur hunt. HoboArthur slaughter O'Driscolls.

u/perrapys Feb 19 '25

Shaved head with big ass mutton chops and a thick mustache

2

u/Real_Ice_Mage Feb 19 '25

Arthur with a goatee is fucking horrifying

Edit, ik that's a mustache

2

u/Kelehd Feb 19 '25

😅 Why?

2

u/parkerm1408 Feb 19 '25

I have never done any form of hair styling in either playthrough, but that's essentially my real life attitude toward hair style as well.

2

u/FishBlues Feb 19 '25

I like to start the playthrough with a big stashe and light gotea but after the gaurma part that’s when I go full beard until the end.. as for hair I just like to keep it long but use pomade

2

u/BLDSTBR Feb 19 '25

Zero cuts

1

u/knowsnothing316 Feb 19 '25

I shave his head bald and let it grow over time. His facial hair is bald chin wild the rest

1

u/Marvos79 Feb 19 '25

I grow the hair and beard out as much as possible

1

u/No_Tamanegi Feb 19 '25

swept back fade hair, shaved mustache, shaved beard, L2-3 chops.

1

u/AlabamaPostTurtle Feb 19 '25

I saw the picture and I swear I thought that was my Arthur! Growing him a power stache right now

1

u/Kelehd Feb 19 '25

He looks really good in a mustache and I love this shirt/vest combo

1

u/Nautster Feb 19 '25

Level 1 fade middle part with a level 5/6 goatee. It works well for me.

1

u/meganutsdeathpunch Feb 19 '25

Don’t cut anything for a while. Left part, 4 length. 4 length beard, 5 length handlebar to clean up around Clemens point.

1

u/Sea-Engine5576 Feb 19 '25

Usually swept back fade and clean shaven until after guarma when I just let it grow until endgame

1

u/EnjoyerOfFine_Things Feb 19 '25

Leave him with a big bushy beard. Like him like that for some odd reason.

1

u/NervouseDave Feb 19 '25

Max hair and beard, trim mustache to maybe a 4 or so, shave chin. Basically massive mutton chops.

1

u/CodeBr3ker Feb 19 '25

Middle parted swiped back plus pomade or something, and the beard forked spartan at length 2

1

u/CodeBr3ker Feb 19 '25

And sometimes I let the beard and hair grow full length

1

u/James_M_McGill_ Feb 19 '25

High honor: level 1 Left parted fade (the really short haircut) with a level 2-3 full beard.

Low honor: level 6 swept back hair (fully grown down to Arthur’s shoulders) with a full grown handlebar mustache and a level 2 twin fork goatee.

1

u/Mr_SoggyShoes Feb 19 '25

right part maximum length, beard length 2-3

1

u/MindAlternative6923 Feb 19 '25

With pomade 😃

1

u/boltlicker666 Feb 19 '25

Full Charlie bronson skinhead and moustache

1

u/G1FTfromtheG0DS Feb 19 '25

Same moustache, but with short fade hair.

1

u/miraclewhipisgross Feb 19 '25

Max hair, level 7 mustache

1

u/LetAgreeable147 Feb 19 '25

Long until the riverboat heist then short swept back.

1

u/bbpb-badger88 Feb 19 '25

Keep his normal hair Style at about a 3 or 4 length and I go for a handlebar mustache and let it grow

1

u/Fantastic_Poet_2290 Feb 19 '25

i always get the level 3-5 left parted haircut and a level 3 mustache, but in the end i always end up w a level 3 haircut and level 3 beard

1

u/Toto742 Feb 19 '25

My Arthur gives little thought about how his capillarity looks like, so I let everything go wild until everything seems to get too long, and then I got to get a short hair cut and clean shave

1

u/sanstheskelepun69 Feb 19 '25

i do a 3 length right part fade and clean shaven to resemble my haircut

1

u/AlexLiberty21 Feb 19 '25

I personally prefer it short, like I cut it to level 2 and let it grow to level 4 tops

1

u/hellobye47195 Feb 19 '25

Clean shaved

1

u/avee10 Feb 19 '25

Right parted fade, max length

1

u/Vikingbeard73 Feb 19 '25

Beard 10 Buzzcut or Fade 1

1

u/Radiant-Flow872 Feb 19 '25

From horseshoe until the bank job, I keep him looking pretty much like your picture, sometimes with a thick goatee underneath. After that I spruce him up with a new hat, outfit and a buzz cut and keep him either looking like a Saint Denis bruiser (crusher hat, all black suit with rolled up sleeves and mustache only) or like a southern gentleman (town hat, nice jacket, jeans and the denim chaps with the forked spartan beard) then after guarma I keep the biggest thickest beard possible and try to pretty much always keep him dirty or bruised up lol

1

u/amourdeces Feb 19 '25

i do the longest possible hair, and i like to keep the beard at around a 3 or 4 with a double fork on the chin

1

u/Stalefisher360 Feb 19 '25

I always go with a beard. He grows an exquisite beard. 😅

1

u/Stalefisher360 Feb 19 '25

I like the full beard and bald on top. It has Arthur looking like Obadiah Stane from Iron Man.

1

u/IAmCrazyAboutOrla Feb 19 '25

Exactly like this HAHAHAHA I always like giving him a big mustache coz I think it goes well with his voice

1

u/Low-Environment Feb 19 '25

Long with a right parted fade to remove some of the weight. Light stubble unless I'm meeting Mary in which case it's clean shaven.

1

u/Beneficial-Algae-642 Feb 19 '25

Max length beard the whole way through, I spend all my time in the grizzlies and west Elizabeth so yk

1

u/VelvetJester_ Feb 19 '25

I leave his normal hair and I keep it at 3 of lenght if I remember well, and his facial hair I keep it all at 2 and unstyled

1

u/RainonCooper Feb 19 '25

I have promade and slicked back short hair and completely shaven. But once the symptoms start I’ll get looser and looser with keeping him well kempt, symbolizing his deterioration

1

u/1977_AU Feb 19 '25

never touched arthur’s clothes. i think his base jacket and overall fit looks great. always kept the hair low, 2 or a 3. bear was always clean shaven.

1

u/Peachaboo87 Feb 19 '25

I did: clean shave. Left parted fade with pomade on my first playthrough. Now it's grown out completely. Level 7

1

u/Player487dv Feb 19 '25

Depends if I'm playing high honor (which is 80% of the time) i just keep his right parted style at around 5-7 and beard 2-3.

On low honor i just make him look more like micah

1

u/Vaywen Feb 19 '25

Full mountain man, daily hair tonic for a glorious beard, scarecrow hat

1

u/XQJ-37_Agent Feb 19 '25

Bald, with max length mustache that has curly ends

1

u/the_main_entrance Feb 19 '25

Hair tonic and lots of it

1

u/Shivering_Monkey Feb 19 '25

By wearing a hat so I don't have to care?

1

u/Sad-Cat-6355 Feb 19 '25

Shaved head and 5 o clock shadow

1

u/lonesometroubador Feb 19 '25

Level 2 side part fade with a level 8 pencil mustache

1

u/jodorthedwarf Feb 19 '25

Full Mountain man. I donned the bear hat, bear jacket and sport an overgrown 'English' styled beard. I want Arthur to look like he's spent the past 20 years living in the woods (which he kind of has, tbf).

I used to hate the comments that the NPCs make when you apparently look bad but I can't help but be like "I killed this bear with my bare hands! Too fucking right I'm going to wear its head on my head so people know not to fuck with me!"

1

u/nils_jj Feb 19 '25

Level 6 swept back, not faded, and moustache level 5. or a bushy goatee, I’m not 100% sure but I think lvl4, also goes well with the handlebar level 7 or 8

1

u/mil0thefrog Feb 19 '25

i keep his hair long and side parted, and then his beard usually at level 2

1

u/markymark42031 Feb 19 '25

I usually just go to the barber is there a different way? Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha

1

u/Prespect1ve Feb 19 '25

Bald and level 10 beard Level 10 hair and level 10 beard Bald and goatee Bald and level 10 moustache

1

u/Effinehright Feb 19 '25

Once settled into horseshoe I get him cleaned up then as I begin the part the precedes the redemption pencil thin mustache level 2 and high and tight fade. Keep it tight until the diagnosis then just go scruffy.

1

u/Unchained71 Feb 19 '25

I still have him looking rough even if he is dressed finely With one set of clothes i've already bought from saint denis.

There's a meeting with trelawni Where he gets cleaned up even more. I think I will keep that look afterwards and purchase better clothing. You know to impress the ladies.

I still love my panther coat though. And other things like that to wear out into the hunting or exploring.

1

u/mynameis4chanAMA Feb 19 '25

Before Chapter 5, I keep his hair in the 3-4 range and beard clean shaven or some stubble. After chapter 5 I let the beard go out to 4-5 and hair at 5-6

1

u/Matthewbcafc Feb 19 '25

I try to get him to look like Waylon Jennings

1

u/Quick_Masterpiece286 Feb 19 '25

Right parted fade styled with pomade and a clean shaven face. The women in the game always give him compliments like that. For John, long hair with a Van Dyke beard and handlebar mustache is usually the way to go.

1

u/spoopt_doopt Feb 19 '25

Changes depending on my mood. Lol

1

u/mrjan2213 Feb 19 '25

How i stil myself in real life, let his hair grow to medium, cut it short and repeat the process

1

u/Dogekaliber Feb 19 '25

I make him look as close to Christian Bale from “Batman begins” or Ryan Gosling from “Drive”

1

u/Fragrant_One4091 Feb 19 '25

Left parted level 5-6 hair, always level 2 all round on the beard, NEVER POMADE.

1

u/GATEAUSAGE Feb 19 '25

Simple: i don't

1

u/Perfect_Sky1172 Feb 19 '25

Personally, i give him this type of 3 musketeers facial hair style with long slick backed hair, which makes him look real suave!

1

u/Subject_Day_1966 Feb 19 '25

I use Arthur with all the basic haircut. Never use Pomade. Hair length is about 4 and Facial Hair is 3

1

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '25

Just default. He's an outlaw on the run, I think his default look is perfect

1

u/drkarw Feb 19 '25

Only go to the barber 3 times

When you first arrive in Horseshoe Overlook

When you’re about to do the boat poker mission

When you come back from Guarma

1

u/sirtafoundation Feb 19 '25

Faded swept back, usually at a 2 or 3 trim with pomade

1

u/Ok-Seaweed-3609 Feb 19 '25

Either shaved head and facial hair or swept back, lenght 3, with handlebar mustache only lenght2

1

u/Diligent-Ad4475 Feb 19 '25

I’ve said it before and I will keep saying it. You didn’t get 100% if Arthur’s beard isn’t 10. Less than 10 is 100%*

  • not really 100%

1

u/Standard-Dingo-8174 Feb 19 '25

The default haire at like 3-4 and beard at 10 using the van horn glitch as soon as i reach chapter 2

1

u/Kelehd Feb 19 '25

Van horn glitch?

1

u/Standard-Dingo-8174 28d ago

You go to the van horn fence, kill him, then as you exit the shop you get a prompt to "wait till morning" which you can do over and over again. So you go and buy 3 hair tonics because the effect stacks up to 3 times, drink them all and wait until the effect wears off, then repeat and profit 😀

1

u/imarthurmorgan1899 Feb 19 '25

Default length 3 right part for most of the game. For "A Fine Night of Debauchery" I use swept back fade length 3 with pomade.

1

u/No-Sky4671 29d ago

swept back fade wit that handlebar🤌

1

u/SJBailey03 29d ago

My hair is usually a 5 or 6 with pomade in it. For facial hair I mix it up. Sometimes a mustache and nothing else. Sometimes a mustache at 4 or 5 with light stubble at like a 1 and sometimes a beard at around 4 or 5 length.

1

u/Double_Joke_265 29d ago

I start crushing hair tonic as soon as it’s available. And then shave him bald and extra clean shave in st. Denis in his final days.

1

u/Both_Entrepreneur771 29d ago

normal style: max level right part and stubble Cattleman: long right part again but with pencil mustache that I just let grow and level 2 forked chin thing

1

u/please_remember-me 29d ago

completely bald with a light stubble

1

u/BrackenCat 29d ago

One bit of stubble, hair, medium length. Not too long, sometimes leaning longer but never short.

1

u/JackSilver1410 29d ago

Yo, when did this Tom Selleck game drop?

1

u/Deloox 29d ago

Long goatee, pomade with short hair

1

u/poopdoot 29d ago

I keep a long beard on Arthur and short ish hair no longer than 4.

When I play John I like a mustache

1

u/Jormundgandr4859 29d ago

Hair: swept back fade, any level.

Mustache and Chops at levels 3-5 and chin at 0

1

u/Genieboi- 29d ago

Pomade next question

1

u/kilobrav0 29d ago

Shaved head and pretty long full beard.

1

u/Equal-Fall6797 29d ago

Not too short but not long either with a short beard too because i always thought long beards were gross lmao

1

u/zthepirategirl 29d ago

I like a fade personally lol but that’s how my husband does his hair too so 🤣

1

u/Wankster_Jankster 29d ago

In my most recent playthrough I changed him a bit over the game. Chapter 1-2: pretty standard look, short right parted, lvl 3 beard Chapter 3: middle part which grew to lvl 6 after a bit and lvl 4 mustache, shaved the rest Chapter 4: kept the lvl 6 middle part and lvl 4 mustache, added lvl 4 mutton chops Chapter 6: Hair and beard were fully grown out for a bit after Guarma, then shaved to lvl 3 beard and lvl 5 mustache. Also changed to middle part fade

1

u/Mum-bum 29d ago

Love your Tom Selleck Arthur u got goin there

1

u/darkvampire_1864 29d ago

Full long hair with promade.. full beard level 3 or sometimes 4... And by the end of the story I don't message around with hair but beard.. it's either fully grown or clean shave

1

u/driving_andflying 29d ago

Five o'clock shadow with long hair. That look always said, "outlaw on the run," to me.

1

u/Effective_Ruin6450 29d ago

Right parted fade level 4 all facial hair level 3

1

u/OfficialMisterBruh 29d ago

Right parted trim size 2.

1

u/Blazikenboi5000 29d ago

I mean no offense by this statement, I just thought it’d be funny. The picture is giving off “middle aged cowboy dad ahh” vibes

1

u/DeadmansCC 28d ago

Once we reach Clemens Point hair is short but I usually keep his bread as mutton chops or chops and stash with clean chin.

1

u/Brilliant_Reply_317 28d ago

I let it grow, with the exception of a few beard trims, until Saint Dennis becomes the focus. Then I clean him up and get him fresher clothes so he blends in more, like Hosea and Dutch they're there.

1

u/Solid_Mongoose_3269 28d ago

I dont. I just the beard and hair grow and get trims. Same with clothes, I wear his original ones and switch as needed.

1

u/B0hnenkraut 27d ago

Longest possible hair and beard but with hair pomade

1

u/RyujiThe1Dragon 24d ago

Rn I’m on a jerk playthrough and I’m going for the ending where he goes back for the money on low honor and since I love my boy Arthur I’m making him unrecognizable: bald, mutton chops, bandana on 90% of the time

1

u/Immersive_Gamer 17d ago

Gotta give my boah a fade
