This is a rough re-texture for all three Apachii Sky Hairs
With permission from both jasperthegnome and Apachii I made these re-textures of all textures that are "shiny".
Dreads are not re-textured. I've also only re-textured one version of the same textures.
You can also get these textures for
Vanilla hair
KS Hairdo's (SE link - Download manually)
Bijin Family
The Ordinary Women
Pandorable's NPCs
