Open the Dressing Room - Ctrl+click on an item in your wardrobe
Use Macro #1:
/script local m=DressUpFrame.ModelScene;local a1,a2=m:GetPlayerActor(),m:CreateActor();a2:SetModelByUnit("player", true, true);local x,y,z=a1:IsUsingCenterForOrigin();a2:SetUseCenterForOrigin(x,y,z);TEMP_ACTORS={a1,a2};
Use Macro #2:
/script TEMP_ACTORS:SetScale(TEMP_ACTORS:GetScale());for _, a in pairs(TEMP_ACTORS) do a:SetPosition(0, 0, 0);a:SetAnimation(618, 0, 1, 0);a:SetYaw(-1.57);a:UndressSlot(16);a:UndressSlot(17);end
Now just Ctrl+click on items in your wardrobe to see how they look without removing your hair

Comment by barbasolAs people have pointed out, there's so many easier solutions than touching every hat asset. And even touching every hat model wouldn't be so bad if they do it in a smart way.
- Just give users a toggle. boom! done.
- Have an intern go through and mark which hats work with which haircuts. Maybe it'd take a few weeks but it'd be worth it.
- Simply add a horizontal plane to hat-style gear to "top chop" the hair appropriately. Full head helms can continue to hide hair as it won't matter. Those two options are probably like 90% of the head gear right there. Then either ignore the more complicated head gear models or suck it up and spend a little more time on the 10% that aren't a simple hide or top chop.

It would be some work, but it's not like an impossible task. Especially with interns. Am I right? Interns. ;) :PComment by barbasol3 flaws of WoW:
- carpet as cloak
- tube as robe
- bald if hathttps://www.wowhead.com/guides/venthyr-covenant-revendreth-transmog-armor-sets-cloaks#free-renown-harvesters-court-attireComment by ZibooIt's no small task, but it would be a welcomed one by the majority of players. Considering how popular transmog and collecting is for players.

They could start with current xpac hats and work backwards as time permits.Comment by KiilalaOr just allow the clipping to occur and let the players decide what they want to wear.Comment by Raeana1652While I won't deny that it would be a massive amount of work, it would be worth it as well. They could use that time to update textures while they are at it. I think it would be a worthwhile venture to build a team for that alone. Just get some art students and hire them on to give them work experience. Everyone wins that way, happy gamers, a seriously needed update for models happens, and some people get jobs/experience.Comment by AmromNot "what if"
just "Do it!"
Hair eating hats is still dumb!
And don't start with "but clipping"..Worgen, Tauren, Trolls any other race then Human and Orc can wirte movie scripts about that issue!Comment by Spilledstars3 flaws of WoW:

Regardless, it's a feature that I may not care about much myself, but I know it would make the game much more enjoyable for everyone if it was included.Comment by whate4Billion dollar company still can't quite figure out how to make hair appear underneath a hat, after 18 years.Comment by Raeana1652How do you turn this off?Comment by EchusSecond Macro should be -

/script TEMP_ACTORS:SetScale(TEMP_ACTORS:GetScale());for _, a in pairs(TEMP_ACTORS) do a:SetPosition(0, 0, 0);a:SetAnimation(0, 0, 1, 0);a:SetYaw(-1.57);a:UndressSlot(16);a:UndressSlot(17);end

Peter Yu made a mistake in his initial tweet so the player is on all fours crawling - see here
