The part about it being only old hair styles is, in my opinion, pretty clear. It does say it is the standard hair styles, this hair pack was marketed as being only what is in the character creation already and the picture only shows old hair styles.
The part about being able to equip any of them whenever you like... Honestly, it would make no sense if this wasn't the case. And it was also marketed as so. I really don't think it was badly explained.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭There are no new hairstyles in this update - that pack is a collection of all the old hairstyles.
The advantage of that pack is, that you can change the hair anytime you want without to have to use an appearance token - you cannot dye your hair though, this would still require an appearance token.
Does the new hair color match your current hair color or is it some random color?
It is the same which I have chosen at character creation. It looks slightly different with different hairstyles though.Edited by Lysette on August 17, 2016 5:17PM1 -

Pretty interesting - this basically supports my role play reasoning for this hairstyle pack - it is some kind of illusion magic, which is broken, when using a disguise, which is another kind of illusion magic and interferes with that of the hair pack. The disguise has to be some kind of illusion magic, because I still have the benefits of my armor and when I roll dodge or jump down a cliff, I hear the noise of my original armor and not that of the disguise or the costume.Edited by Lysette on August 17, 2016 5:15PM1 -

Nice idea
It also explains why disguises hide vampirism and magically disappear if you're spotted by enemies youre hiding from.Dro-m'Athra Destroyer | Divayth Fyr's Coadjutor | Voice of Reason

Good to know.0 -
itehache✭✭✭✭I also thought the hair pack would include base game hairs + new style. It said that in the news anyway.
I was pretty disappointed to not have access to the new hairstyles I had seen in the PTS but on the other hand i'm really happy I can now change my character's hair as often as I want.0 -

Interesting; is this also true for costumes? And while a disguise/costume is equipped, can you change the hairstyle, or is it stuck in the original style until the disguise/costume is removed?
If these aren't useable with costumes, I'd think that would be a pretty serious flaw.0 -

On costumes you keep the selected hairstyle from the hair pack.1 -

I do think I there should have been an in game barber shop instead, but whatever, I'll take what I can get. I get sick of using the same hair style for too long.
Just to clarify, buying the 1000 crown pack is all 92 old hair styles, but it unlocks the ability to equip any of these (on the applicable race) directly from your menu at any time, just like the costumes.
This is what should appear in the crown store @ZOS_GinaBruno
Um... I'm a little confused. Because that IS what appears in the cash shop.
@MornaBaine
No that's not what appears for us on Xbox one
It should read: "This bundle enables access to all the standard hair styles by adding a new collections/appearance category of hair styles. Now enjoy changing any of your characters hair styles from the collections menu!"
See
What even more frustrating is this is what cosmetic changes we desired for skin color, body size, face, eyes, tattoos, etc but instead it's locked behind a token vs a one time charge.

Thanks! Now this is a must buy for me!1 -
DaxxieSoul ShrivenThe problem I have with the hair styles is that when I try them on I can't see them. My head is in the clouds! The shaded area across the top with all the icons. There are 92, and I have to equip one, escape out to see it, then go back to collections to try another one? Doesn't work for me! heh, should I have made a shorter character?0
