Hair for Abelas
For frosty or dai mod manager. This mod puts some white hair on Abelas, the sentinel elf you encounter at the Temple of Mythal.  There are a total of 16 different hairstyle choices. You can refer to this page to get a better understanding of which hair is which. Only install one hairstyle choice for him at once.

There is also an option for frosty only to remove his lipgloss. You only need the seperate file for this if you would like to keep Abelas bald and just want to remove his lipgloss only, because in version 2 of the frosty hairs, I built the lipgloss removal into the hair mods as well.

I couldn't get the lipgloss edit to work for DAIMM unfortunately. His lips may still appear a little shiny with the lipgloss removal, but the physical lip gloss colour is removed, for further gloss removal you can use a deshined retexture of complexion hm_hed_bas_d.

This mod by itself *does not* alter the shape or appearance of any hairstyles, it simply puts hair on Abelas. However, it can be used with elf male hairstyle mods, as you can see from the previews. Just be sure to check what base hair an EM hairstyle mod you like replaces, and then download the coinciding base hair file from my mod.

The hair part of this mod is a bundle edit and will conflict to any other bundle mods that edit the temple of mythal. It should be okay to use with character generation bundle mods such as Aileani's hair replacer bundle file here, or Kittentails chargen bundle from the optional files of this mod here. 

Not all of the inquisitors hairs will look great on him, but I provided the choice anyways. Also in the daimod version only he doesn't have a scalp texture as he was originally bald under his hood, so undercut hairstyles like hair G (Krem's hair) may look a little odd. This is not a problem, however, with the fbmod version, he should use scalp textures with his hair in version 2 of the frosty hairs. I could not do the same for the daimod version, it didn't work, unfortunately.

This mod is intended for use with a hood down or hood removal mod to avoid clipping with the hair. See below for what your options are for the hood...

Hood removal options - pick one only:

for those using frosty mod manager:
use this mod made by padme4000, which I also linked in the requirements. grab the file "For Abelas Himself Hood Down and No Hood" from the optional files and extract it, it will have 2 mods inside - hood removed completely or hood down. only use one depending on your preference. that mod is compatible with sentinel armour retextures, and has no black marks on it. 

for those using dai mod manager - 2 options for removal:
grab either the no hood - mesh version or the no hood - texture version from the optional files on this page. only use one depending on your preference, you don't need both. 

the texture version is incompatible with retextures that edit the file uni_em_sentinal_acc01_d, so will be incompatible with mods like the fen'harel retextures from Koric's this and that mods pack. use the texture removal version if you haven't got any existing sentinel retextures. it has no black marks on it. 

the daimod mesh version requires ultra mesh quality settings. it is also compatible with retextures to the sentinel armour, but it does have black marks on the back of the cape and under the armpits and possibly other areas that I may not have yet spotted. this is due to how dai mod maker imports meshes, I cannot do anything about this. due to this I would recommend that you only use the daimod mesh version if you are desperate to use a sentinel armour retexture with this mod, if not, I would use the texture version instead. 


IMPORTANT NOTE:
Abelas will have very small ears. Bioware made his ears like this to better fit them under his hood. If this is something that you notice then I would recommend using a hairstyle mod that covers the ears. 

Misc
The hairstyle shape mods pictured in the previews are themiscyra's ports of Anto's hairstyles from here. The half updo is the Nora hair, the very long hair is the Nadia hair, the medium bob is the Diana hair, and the braid is the Federica hair.
