📋 About This Mod
This mod improves hair colors by brightening some, and adding highlights and lowlights with more blending for modded hair. The colors with extreme roots or colorless ends have been fixed while still retaining depth and natural variance. Some colors have been altered so there is more variety. I darkened a few of the bright, unnatural colors so they are not all pastel, because it would be weird if everyone dying their hair bold, unnatural colors chose pastel. I added more auburn colors by altering a few of the browns, don't worry, there are still a lot and it shouldn't change NPCs drastically. I also got rid of the blonde roots present on many of the bright dyed colors so they go with more skintones and complexions. I added other colors like darker blue, a neon orange, a pink shade, darker teal, a true bleached blond, a true black, and a dark red. I added those by replacing colors that were basically duplicates.
The custom hairstyles pictured are all from Kittentails' MEA - Anto Hairstyles WIP. Not required but they look nice.
