Couldn't really share my full thoughts back when it dropped not on steam since I dont think any pics at the time did it analysis justice, but now that I got it myself here's my edibles driven thoughts:
I think it visually really does make her look younger, like in a realistic way closer to how more dainty her DOA4 doll appearance looked. Imo, I think this should definitely be a main FG look going forward since it captures that Moonlit Lady vibe she had in DOA4.
The length reduction and the removal of the shaggy side lock and the bound bead one on the side imo helps not age her since while beautiful, Kokoro's default loose hair has always aged her imo which I think was the point of her style back then since it gave her a sort of memoirs of a geisha type vibe since her face itself is already very youthful, but her hair back then and when it was revamped for her adds a sort of mature for her age vibe. With the more current era bangs and the shorter, more sensibly feminine yet manageable length,  this helps push aside the sheltered, do as your told Kokoro and we see more of Kokoro herself personally if she was able to fully do what she wanted to do on her terms, but with a still tastefully done look so that way it stays in line with her more reserved personality.
TLDR;This is the look Kokoro should have going forward.
