I can't complain for my male Inquisitor since he'll be sporting a buzzcut and those look fine. But for my female Inquisitor...the hairstyles are ****** horrible. Oh, and the poor Qunari. I really, really hope they release more hairstyles as DLC or something.
Horse CC vs Qunari CC 
But hey...Adam's apple and lip shine!
Good thing my Hawke had black hair, I suppose? To be honest, the only hair I can possibly stomach for Females is this one:
I just can't stand any of the others. As for males, I have no idea. all of them feel off. I might as well pull an Shepard and sport an buzzcut.
It appears like most female Inquisitors will end up with the same hairstyle, in spite of every player suspecting that everyone else will use the same. I guess that's a loud and clear message about the appeal of the others. Oh, and everyone will have dark hair instead of plastic hair.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE everything else about the CC. It's one of the best I've seen and I'm confident we'll be able to make our dream characters with it. But the hair...just, no.
Hopefully they'll listen and give us more hairstyles after launch.
I'm a little concerned with the hair and beard options. In Origins and DA 2 my characters were forced to be bald and beardless as I HATED the way hair looked lol.
The hair looked weird and the beards looked like there was a small gap between it and the face. I've been watching the CC videos like a...HAWKE lol.
From what I've seen it's leagues better. I just hope this is the year my character can use the hair/beard option and that's it's the craziest looking thing possible.
"Yeah we need a leader. Let's get that crazy looking guy with glowing hands and a bird in his beard. That's an excellent idea!"
The hair for the first elf shown - column 6, row 3 - is this hairstyle in the new CC vids? I don't think I've seen it and I've re-watched several times. Its an okay look and I'd like to add it to my list.
LOL. Its like I'm playing Spades with these hairstyles - I have a three books and a possible!

I was the same in Origins, had the shaved head and stubble look because the beards and hair weren't up my alley. In Da2 I usually play default FemHawke, so that was fine, but I wasn't a fan of the male default or character creator.
I think this looks much better too, can't wait to try it out!

Watch your mounts get to wear dresses to the ball.

I don't think it is in the new CC vids! I'm kind of bummed because it's one of the only ones I thought I might use. I wish they'd kept that instead of the half-shaved one.
Interesting... how much can you customize this Geralt's appearance?
There will be cosmetic options for hairstyles and beard styles, also the first free DLC they release will include added styles. So some customization will be possible, although if you only focus on pure number of styles then no, Witcher 3 wont have as many. But that can't really be compared since the two RPGs have a wildly different setting in terms of player character, CDPR has to be somewhat coherent with the lore and books after all where as in Dragon Age Bioware have only the limitations they set themselves.

Its so strange! I wonder why it was cut? I wish they'd add hair to the shaved temples hairstyle. It would then be perfect for my inquisitor.

I actually do like the tone of the reddish blonde I saw in one of the CC vids.

I would take any of Geralt's hairstyles from TW2 (or from TW3 sight unseen because the hair at least will be miles ahead of BW hair) for my Qunari. 
I'll admit, as impressed as I am with the rest of the CC, the hairstyles are incredibly lacking. I wonder what happened to these braided styles we had seen on the models last year:
I would have been happy with any of these female options, or if we had gotten Josephine's hair. As it is, the current options all look too 21st century to me.
Every time i look at that grid of hairstyles i just chuckle to myself. I can see it as immersion breaking for a lot of players.
Simple answer is, Bio wants to take the easy way. It's baldies and buzz cuts to everyone!
Well, that's really not fair to BioWare. I'm sure they just had a lot on their plates and our reaction didn't occur to them. (How it didn't. I'm not sure...) But it's very impolite to accuse them of taking the easy way out.
.And that is why I'm so glad that Bioware is so forthcoming when it comes to modding and is going to release a Tool Kit for DA:I. You know, to let the creative modding community take care of this little issue for them, for free! Oh wait....
Darn your sarcasm! I got my hopes up for one bright moment, since all ive heard so far is how impossible frostbite is to mod.
Sorry 
The beards float off your face, and then the character creator won't even let you correct that by allowing you to make your cheeks/jaw wider. I can't figure out Bioware's logic in that.Hair may look bad in all Dragon Age games. But the beards... *shudders* Simply horrible!But as I wrote in another thread. The bad looking hair in DA:I isn't a deal breaker for me. But I would be lying if I said I didn't expect more, much more, from a game released in late 2014.And that is why I'm so glad that Bioware is so forthcoming when it comes to modding and is going to release a Tool Kit for DA:I.

That's why it pays off to be bald. You'll never have to worry about anything for the rest of your life.
I imagine there is a Bioware employee who poured hundreds and hundreds of hours of their life on the hair design for the game and cries a little inside seeing this thread.
Carry on!
No matter the amount of hours spent a bad job is still a bad job

I feel so guilty now. Actually.
I mean, I adore BioWare and try to support them however I can, but... This hair is abominable.

Well said, basically it's accusing them of being lazy, which is a ludicrous accusation to level at any game developers (who spend months working ludicrous unpaid overtime to get games out the door).
That said, I'm pretty sure your reaction DID occur to them. They're not idiots, and their artists and designers as as good as we are at judging hairstyles. More likely they ran into technical difficulties with better hairstyles and were forced to make difficult choices (do we spent x man hours fixing the hair, or other more critical issues? And so on).
That said, concerning The Witcher 3, let's not forget we're comparing apples and oranges here. TW3 has far less customization than DAI, and doesn't have to deal with many of the issues the DAI team did. In other words, it's a lot easier to put a lot of focus on making hair work properly, when your protagonist is predetermined (for example, since you know precisely the shape of his head, it's easier to avoid clipping, and so on).
