I have been working on these hairs for quite some time, and found myself spending countless hours tweaking things to the point where I've just kinda said screw it and decided to release them in their current condition. They can be used for almost every race/body type as they are auto-snapping.

Because of the decision to go with auto-snapping to make it as compatible with the vanilla races and body types as much as possible, the hairstyles are not usable for custom races unless patched. If you would like to create a patch for your race, please feel free to reach out!

I may add some more in the future, hence why I decided to call it a "gallery" of sorts. My next goal I think would be to add more hairstyles for people with ethnic hair since I feel the game could use more, but these are just my thoughts. Hope you enjoy. ♥

Things to Note
○ Some hairstyles may clip with body/ears depending on body type or race. This is unavoidable unless I made separate hair models for each one, which isn't in my goals at this time.
○ Some hairstyles are higher poly than the game's vanilla hairstyles. While I tried to lower the count for some, others compromised quality a little too much for me and would require a redo of textures/UVs, so they are staying as-is for the time being as I've found they have not impacted my gameplay.
○ Some hairstyles may look thin or transparent at certain angles. I spent a significant amount of time troubleshooting and modifying textures, but of course they're not necessarily perfect. I may adjust in the future as I see fit.
○ 
Highlights for some hairs are iffy. With some hairstyles (Celsus for example) it's more noticeable, but if I had to be honest it's not really at the top of my list for fixing because it can be time consuming. Most will work fine though. One tip I can recommend is some may look better using the Greying Intensity scale.
