📋 About This Mod
UPDATED FOR NEXT GEN BY KIND COURTESY OF ElementaryLewis
Redesigned hair to replace the hairworks long and loose style. If you're like me, then you most likely agree that CDPR dropped the ball with the long hair; why tease us with that cool "killing monsters" hair if it's not even gonna be in the game. Well, in this case, the hair now goes behind Geralt's ears and has a more natural and wavy appearance. Also made it slightly more responsive to wind and just a tiny bit shinier. I used elements of some other hairstyles and a bunch of other tweaks to get this result. This mod alters the tucked version too, I would have liked that to turn out better, but under the circumstances, this is the best I got; the default tucked look is definitely a far worse offender. Overall, I'm pretty happy with this. Hope you like it.
Compatibility
If there's any mod that alters the files of the elven rebel, it's likely that the appearance of this mod will be messed up since it uses elements of that
Known Issues
Tucked version may look a bit weird when wet
Needs 16 free DLCs
