Will most likely be incompatible with mods that change races (ie. most hairpacks out there). You may need to merge mods or create a merged patch.

The hair mesh has a few gaps where you can see the head skin. You will only notice them from certain perspectives though.

EGM files are not included, this means the hair will not fit on the head properly, which may result in clippings or gaps. If it doesnt fit on your character, use Nifskope to adjust the position, make sure to use transform->apply before saving.

I created EGM files with the Conformulator, but they didnt work for whatever reason. Gonna give it another try later. I'll also try to fix the gaps.
Also it would be nice to see this hairstyle in one of the big hairpacks like Lings Coiffure. Maybe i'll make a compatibility patch.

Consider this a Modder's Resource, do whatever you want with the file (hopefully EGM creation ;).
Credits would be nice too :)

Thanks to Jonas66 for fixing the broken beads.
