📋 About This Mod
UPDATE: THIS MOD IS NO LONGER BEING WORKED ON. Now that SKSE64 Alpha is out, I highly suggest using Enhanced Character Edit SE It will allow you to change hair to any hue when creating a new character. Thank you for the support, I realize that there were many issues along the way, but with skse being stable for some mods, this one will be obsolete soon. I am slowly modding again and don't have the time to keep coming back to this one.

11/28/2016: USSEP Patch added in optional section.
NEW VERSION ADDED 11/23/2016: Now 55 new shades.
Due to the hair textures not being DESATURATED, Pure silver and white isn't really possible. I tried to add more blue to it to override some of the brown color, but for most hair, you will still get brown/blondish look. The only real way to fix this is to desaturate the hair colors dds file. :/ Sorry guys. I know how to desaturate hair and make new dds files, so if you know the specific hair you want, I can always make an optional section and incorporate some hair textures there, but I don't want to steal from mod authors. :O Some of the hair comes out silver, depending on the hair style you use!
So if you are using Imperious or other race mods. Please avoid using this mod for now. Thanks!
