Reworked Hair and Beard (HW and non-HW Version) - Standalone TBOB

Standalone version of the fix for The Butcher of Blaviken mod. The long-awaited fix for the "Hairworks" dark beard. This mod is usable with all Geralt Retexture mods(and vanilla). Enjoy this fix and support me with feedback and endorsements. Thanks

Some considerations

This mod is a piece of  the Butcher of Blaviken mod that modifies the whole

aspect of Geralt, including the textures that include the scalp and the

Without these changes to the texture some hairstyles may appear broken due to the too dark color of the scalp and the base of the

beard (I could not integrate them in this mod because the texture in

question would also change the face of Geralt and limit the use of the

mods of Gearlt).

To get a uniform aspect of beard and hair my advice is to install TBOB + the optional file (which contains modifications of

RHandb mod but adapted to TBOBMOD)
