Leon-style haircut (Messy edition and Hair Strands patch)

Oh, Leon...

No LLM was used to format this description page! I just can't stand Nexus' text editor anymore so I'm taking formatting in my own hands.

v2. 0 Messy edition:

This is actually my initial vision of this haircut. I spent about 90 minutes on v1. 0 and it was 2am and I thought it was good enough to release, for some reason. The more I looked at it the more irritated I get. Today I had some time off and felt inspired to rework it.

My problem with v1. 0 is the overall silhouette and the shape of each side. The silhouette appeared round and made Ada's head look like the globular part of an inverted teardrop, which was also my gripe with Leon's vanilla haircut. v2. 0 remedies this by making the left and right bangs (do these count as bangs? idk) spread across and cover more of Ada's face. I also like that it frames her eyes better. I think the expressions her eyes make are now more intense and smoldering.

I've also improved the geometry and flow of both sides of the parts and bangs to make them more natural and less like a beginner metalworker's first curved sheet metal.

v2. 0 is added as a separate version so those who prefer v1. 2 can install whichever one whenever they like while only having to download one file.

👉 Combat-optimized hair length increases visibility during aggressive movements e.g. backflips, parrying chainsaw attacks, hand-to-hand combat with old flame.

👉 Includes fix for the strange bald cap that stretches down to one side of the neck.

👉 100% made from Ada's vanilla hair mesh.

Known issues

👉 Fixed in 1. 1: aggressive movement would expose the overcompensating bald cap texture and show skin color under the hair.

Thanks pakrj434 for reporting.

👉 Fixed in 1. 2: hair physics not working in the main Leon campaign cutscenes and on the Default outfit in model viewer.

Thanks De1dc0de for reporting.

Installation instructions

👉 Use Fluffy Mod Manager.

👉 Download the .rar files onto Fluffy Mod Manager's /Mods folder.

👉 Install your Ada outfit and head mods.

👉 Install one v1. 2 OR v2. 0, and in most cases you will also want to install the neck texture fix, unless you're using a mod that uses custom head texture that removes the unnecessary bald cap area. You'll know it when you see it.
