Hair out of the back of full head masks

One thing that I've been missing ever since was the ability to have a character with a half mask, which covers the head but lets hair hang out in the back.

Examples:
Catwoman (by Jim Balent, 1994):

Batgirl (pin-up version by Ed Benes):

And another Batgirl by Adrian Syaf:

I am sure there are more examples, but those are the two characters I could think of from scratch. While this is mostly something for female heroes, because those are more likely to have long hair and more likely to use such tricks to show it, a male native American super hero might use something like that as well, for example.

It doesn't mean that anything about the masks has to be changed, all I am asking is hair options that are attached to the back of the head for the purpose of being used with full and partial masks.

That would also be a meaningful way to combine long hair and forehead emblems.

It's not an ideal solution, but the Cheshire mask from the G.R.A.B. Alert is a mask that covers the top half of the head only and, I think, lets you have your own hair out the back. I -could- be wrong about that, though ---- haven't been in-game in months and only used the mask on a few characters.

Coupled with the Cowl neck piece, you can SORT of make a 'full' mask with hair... especially if you use some of the mouth/eye/side accessories to build up the other parts of the 'mask'.

The only existing option I've found for something similar is the topknot that you can have coming out of just about any mask (and helmet?)... but that plume of hair isn't appropriate for all (or any, of mine)...

Thanks for the hint. I didn't even know there are such costume pieces, much less how to acquire them. I realize that helmets can be combined with a limited set of hair, which is better than nothing, but the helmets I've seen so far are actually helmet. I suppose this game has a lot of costume pieces I don't know yet, but this particular thing I am asking for is something that always occurred to me so strikingly obvious that I am at a loss why it ain't there.

PS: I've checked it. It always a "headtype" under partial masks, never a helmet. Consequently, if it was used along with hair, the hair would show and not the cap on top of the head.
