How to Make Long Hair in ModNation Racers

"ModNation Racers" -- or MNR -- is a kart racing game released for the Sony PlayStation 3 in 2010. With an emphasis on user-generated content, MNR players can edit tracks, karts and characters with a wide variety of creation tools and collectibles. Although the game has a number of hairstyles to choose from, there is no option for adding long hair to a character's head. But by arranging certain decorative items in a specific way, it is possible to create the illusion of long hair.

  Press "R2" four times to enter the Facial Hair menu. Highlight one of the long beard items, and press the "X" button to add it to your character. Press "Triangle" to enter the Advanced Edit menu.
