You can enable an option that removes your Mask and Headgear during Black Myth: Wukong gameplay. Follow this step-by-step guide to solve this problem:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Select Gameplay
  3. Scroll down and find "Show Headgear"
  4. Turn the setting from ON to OFF

Even if you have Show Headgear turned off, you will still keep the stat bonuses. For example the Folk Opera Mask's +7 Defense and perks. Therefore, you can always equip a headgear that you don't like the look of just for the stats, but not have to look at it as you play.
