What this mod does Changes most of vanilla hair to KS hairdo's and a few individual hairmods. I tried keeping the hair styles quite short to avoid massive clipping. Male bald options are not edited and 9 male Orc hairs and 5 Redguard only hairs are original due to lack of good options.
Optional 5 exclusive female hairstyles for all female races
I really recommend using SkyHide - Dont Show Headgears since you and NPCs will be bald under helmets, hoods and hats (Circlets are fine)
This does NOT include: Edited faces - The FaceGeoms that are with the mod are vanilla faces with the new hairstyles Snow Elf hairs - Not touched Dremora hairs - Not touched Khajiit hairs - Not touched Argonian hairs - Not touched Child hairs - Not touched - Though I recommend having The Kids Are Alright
Manual installation Take the content of 0 Male and/or 0 Female and 0 Hair Textures, put those in your data folder Also take the esp you want in one of the 1 - ESP folders and put it in your data folder If you want the exclusive female hairstyles then take the 2 Exclusive Hairstyles and put it in your data folder If using loose files, take the 3 - folders you want. If installing Dawnguard, also take 0 Serana and Valerica folder.
