🎯 Tips & Tricks
Extract the files to your Oblivion Data folder, overwriting when prompted—no mod manager needed.
If you use other hair texture mods, install this one last to ensure it takes priority.
Check the mod's compatibility with any hair mesh replacers you have, as texture-only changes may not match custom meshes.
