FAQ:
How to change the hair on your existing character:
On PC, open console(`) and type showracemenu -enter- It brings up the character customization menu.
– Make sure you are in the third person view before editing your character, otherwise you will be invisible, and unable to see the changes made on your character
showracemenu- will NOT modify your attributes/skills/points/etc. unless you change the race, sex, or select a preset from the list.
Modifying purely cosmetic things like hair will leave your points unchanged.If the character moves it’s hands in front like they were tied,
it’s a clear indication that the skills will be messed up,if the hands remain parallel to the body it’s fine.
A way to fix the modified attributes error is to simply re-equip your gear.
You also need to re-enter (or change) your name.
How to change the hair on NPC:
Note-there is a bug in the Creation Kit that makes the NPC that you make changes to have color mismatch (Face/Body)
follow these guidelines to avoid the problem.
Creation Kit version:
This is how I fixed the color mismatch on Lydia after changing her hair.

Why do I have color mismatch on NPC faces after installing an NPC mod that uses your hairs?
If you have an NPC changing mod that is made with the CK you have to also install
all the created – exported- head meshes and face textures – face tints for every changed NPC or else every changed NPC will have a grey-green face.
Make sure you install all the files from the NPC mod.
Bald head problem?
Try this ini fix:
In Documents-My Games-Skyrim
skyrim.ini file
[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=0
-> change 0 to 1
If the ini fix is not enough to make it work you can also try to install:
Racecompatibility mod by TMPhoenix
Why can’t I load skyrim.ESM and ApachiiHair.ESM at the same time in the CK?
Add bAllowMultipleMasterLoads=1 under [General] in SkyrimEditor.ini in your /Skyrim folder.
Why do I have duplicates – triplicates or more version of every hair in the showracemenu?
If you install a NPC changing mod that uses the NPC editor to give NPCs my hairs then for every changed NPC it will create a duplicate of every hair in my mod in showracemenu.
The mod is not working, no hairs shows up in the showracemenu?
Possible problem that you may have:
1-Not activated the mod in the Skyrim launcher
2-Have not installed all the files
Why can’t I activate your esm file in the Skyrim launcher, the Data files option is greyed out?
If you can’t select files in the launcher go to – DocumentsMy GamesSkyrim
– Open SkyrimPrefs.ini
– In the text look for
[Launcher]
bEnableFileSelection=1 (if this is 0 change it to 1)
My character gets bald when using a helmet, what can be done to fix this?
You have to install my ApachiiHelmetWigs_v_1_0 under optional files.
Equipable Wigs for use under helmet and hats.
Craft them at the forge or get them for free from a barrel outside Riften Stable.
What mod is the hats from in your wig mod pictures?

Why is the long hair or long braids floating above my characters chest?
