📋 About This Mod

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

Males of Skyrim

The Men of Winter
