Installation of this mod is HIGHLY recommended in the first place!

Or the classic way by using TSE:

Open Trilogy Save Editor, open a save file of which you want to alter the hairstyle with (Recommended is to select either a Manual save or an Autosave, Quicksaves can sometimes give unexpected issues!), and find and change the values shown below under the Headmorph-tab (click Spoiler to show; your values may vary):

Change these values to the hairstyle you want, listed below. Refer to the screenshots on the Images-tab to know how they might look:

How to change the hair colour:

It is very much possible the colours don't entirely match those of vanilla LE3 or other hairpack's hairstyles, or you just want to try something different, so with the following tutorial I'll show you on how it's done in ME3LE:

In Trilogy Save Editor, go to Headmorph -> Vector Parameters -> HED_Hair_Colour_Vector, and click on the coloured box next to the RGB and A values. Here you can change the hair colour.

It's also possible to change the highlight colours (the colour of the shine on the hair) to any colour of your liking, by changing the following parameters:

• Headmorph -> Vector Parameters -> Highlight1Color and
• Headmorph -> Vector Parameters -> Highlight2Color.

The screenshot below is an example:

Known Issues:

These hairstyles will clip through whatever attire Shepard is wearing, even after carefully adjusting and weighting the hairs, they won't fit everything flawlessly. There really isn't much to do about it as long as hair physics isn't properly supported in Mass Effect.

It is the very reason I've added alternate versions to the package so they will clip less with certain outfits, but it will still happen. And some hairstyles just won't look as good with some specific outfits, so it's a bit of trial and error on the user's side too.

Basically: the "_H"-hairstyles should go better with bulky armour types like the N7-armour,  and the "regular" ones with the various casual clothing options available.
