📋 About This Mod
A special 'lite' version of KS Hairdos - this version features 20 male and 20 female hairstyles that can be applied by visting the face changer in Riften or by typing 'showracemenu' in the console (can be slow to load if you have lots of cosmetic add-ons).
As an added bonus, KS Hairdos Lite changes the hairstyles of most of the followers in Skyrim, Dawnguard and Dragonborn too. If you just want the hairstyles there's also a standalone 'No NPCs' version.
Created with the kind permission of KS Hairdos creators: Kalilies, Stealthic Khaos and Shocky - you can find the full KS Hairdos - Renewal here.
New for v1. 3 Adds an extra 5 male and 5 female hairstyles - also finished adding KS hairdos to most of the followers in Skyrim. Removed hoods from Brelyna, Onmund, Illia & Erandur and also Njada's helmet so you can see their hair.
Known issues: due to changing their default clothing, if you've already used Brelyna, Onmund, Illia, Erandur or Njada as a follower you might find them running around in their underwear - take any items off them you want to keep then open the console, click on them and type 'resetinventory'

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 13,562 endorsements and 1.1M downloads
- Adds 40 total hairstyles without the bloat of the full mod
- Updates follower appearances across all major DLCs for a fresh look
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches
- Only 40 hairstyles compared to the full mod's hundreds, so variety is limited
For Skyrim Special Edition players who want a lightweight hair mod that also refreshes follower appearances. Perfect for those who find the full KS Hairdos too large or performance-heavy. Skip if you want a massive hair selection or need the latest compatibility updates.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage this mod easily.
- Place KS Hairdos Lite early in your load order to ensure follower edits don't conflict with other mods.
- Check if you have the full KS Hairdos installed—this lite version is a standalone replacement, so remove the full mod to avoid conflicts.
