📋 About This Mod
-
[]A single physics-enabled hairstyle, usable by women (humans). Sorry, gents. Access during character creation, through the face sculptor or the console command showracemenu.
[
]3 adjusted vanilla helmets (iron, steel, steel plate) that fit nicely with this hairstyle. These helmets can be crafted from the standard version.This hair was made for action, not posing. It looks nice enough, but I have tried first of all to keep it performance friendly. Polygon count is high compared to a vanilla hairstyle, but within reason. The physics system is highly optimised, with a minimum of collision testing. I don't expect this hair to have any effect on your performance whatsoever, but of course it comes down to your specs and what other mods you have running.
The hair uses vanilla textures, so any replacer for that applies. Images are taken with Vanilla hair - Salt and Wind.
Adds a braided hairstyle with detailed physics for female characters, optimized for gameplay. Includes 3 adjusted vanilla helmets. A popular cosmetic mod with 718 endorsements and nearly 48,000 downloads, last updated in February 2022.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 718 endorsements and nearly 48k downloads
- Physics-based hair adds immersion without tanking performance
- Comes with 3 helmet adjustments so your hair doesn't clip through gear
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022, so it might not be compatible with the latest game patches
- Only for female characters, so male players get nothing
- Only 3 helmets are adjusted, so other headgear may still clip with the braid
For Skyrim players who want a realistic, physics-driven braid for their female characters without sacrificing performance. If you're into immersive hair mods and don't mind a bit of clipping with non-vanilla helmets, this is a solid pick. Skip if you play male characters or want a wider variety of hairstyles.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to load this mod after other hair mods to avoid conflicts.
- If you use a mod manager, preview the braid in-game to see how it looks with your character's face shape.
- Check if your other armor mods have helmet slots that might conflict with the adjusted vanilla helmets.
