However, I have used the Mass Effect Modder to extract the ME3 HMF_HIR_Mhk_Scalp_Diff_0x2192DE75 file to make sure the hash marks match and haven't changed.
To check, I installed the the ME3_HMF_Mohawk_w_Fade_Scalp.mem mod file
Then checked in the Texture Explorer in Mass Effect Modder to see if the diffuse file was replaced, and it has been. Same for going backwards.
I made this using the 501 version of the Mass Effect Modder and just checked with the 502 upgrade, and it *appears* to work via my check above.
Is it not showing up in game, or is the installing aspect throwing an error?
If the Models bones and attachments points correlate, then you may be able to swap the MDL file names out using the Trilogy Editor.
If they don't, then when you move the hair will either stay behind and get dragged along by the incompatible mapping (Look up using the Ashley hair model swap in ME3, pretty awesome)
I have a listing for the *Female* head stuff for ME2 on my notes page;
Just load up the game directory, look in the BIOG files (HIR is the hair) and use the Page Down and Page Up keys to parse through it.
When you find the ones you want, easiest way is to export the file to a directory. The subsequent directory structure for the exported files can be used to create the proper name format for the model/texture to replace in the Head Morph (RON) file used by the Trilogy Editor.
I break down the naming conventions in my above notes.
Until we get a fuller set of modding tools that would allow us to remap the bones/attachments, this is the best you can do for the moment.

You can look at the models and figure out the naming conventions in order to do so using:
