I initially put off doing this because the other hair gave me PTSD from all the groups (9!!), but this one turned out to be surprisingly straightforward, with 1 group for the hair and 1 group for the bandanna! Texture-wise, I replaced the specular (no shine), normal map (more definition!) and control (better highlights!), and replaced the scalp and face textures with references to basegame ones to lower the filesize.

Then I tried using the regular texture on it and adjusting the alpha, and it looks surprisingly good! I think the poofiness makes all the difference
