    Notes[]

    • Hair color will also change dynamically on the map/minimap.
    • If the player does not wish to equip a watch, the Time Dye can act as a less precise Copper or Tin Watch to save room. However, they will need to equip a hat in the vanity slot (or not equip a helmet) that shows hair. Using a Familiar Wig can overcome this problem.
    • The Time Hair Dye's effect is shown while on the character select screen.
    • Although the Money Hair Dye only costs 10, the player needs to have at least 1 in their inventory for the Stylist to sell it.
    • The Party Hair Dye will spawn confetti even if wearing a helmet that renders hair completely obscured.
    • Team Hair Dye works differently when compared with Team Dye and the player is not on a team (or in singleplayer): Team Hair Dye will make the hair white, while Team Dye will not work, as if having no dye applied to the item.
    • Biome Hair Dye uses the water color of the current biome. Activating a Water Fountain will change the hair color to that of the Water Fountain's biome despite not changing the biome.
