Honey's Hair Kitchen (WIP)

Requires Patch 3 Mod Fixer

A couple of additional female hairstyles made using mostly vanilla assets (including restored swinging ponytails and "female orc" hair), plus an optional loose hairstyle for Shadowheart.

Low bun

Now for females of all playable races. 

Low ponytail

Now for females of all playable races, except dwarves. 

Frankenharpy

Now for females of all tall playable races.

Mintharpy

Now for females of all tall playable races.

Shadowbun

For female humans, tieflings, elves and half-elves.

Long waves

Now for females of all playable races.
Thanks Eudoxia for the idea and feedback!
(Some of the vanilla weights were seriously dodgy, so I had to redo them from scratch. They're not perfect but I tried my best!)

Twin braided buns

For female humans, tieflings, elves and half-elves. 
Inspired by Anora's and Calpernia's hairstyles from the Dragon Age series.

Twin braided buns 2

For female humans, tieflings, elves and half-elves. Now also for gnomes! 

Messy bun

Now for females of all tall playable races. 

Messy bun 2 (aka Morrigan-inspired do)

For females of all playable races. 

Bun & braids

For female gith.

Side braids

A restoration of the "female orc" hairstyle (with some minor tweaks) for females of all tall playable races and gnomes.
The original mesh had no weights and was an absolute nightmare to skin. It's not perfect, but I tried my best to prevent the hair from clipping through the neck and shoulders (note that "extreme" animations will cause the hair to clip through the left shoulder).


Bettie Bangs

Four hairstyles with Bettie-ish bangs for females of all playable races.

  • a bob;
  • two shoulder-length hairstyles;
  • a ponytail (it's alive! Except for dwarves and halflings, who are punished until Larian gives them access to hair physics.).


I've also added an optional file that replaces Shadowheart's default braid with the loose shoulder-length style. (It should work without the main file, just make sure you don't have any conflicting files installed elsewhere - see Compatibility notes below.)

Animated gith ponytail

A slightly tweaked version of the gith ponytail with added physics, also available for humans, tieflings, elves and half-elves.

  • The gith version replaces the vanilla mesh (hair 3) (patch 7 version only - it's an additional asset now).
  • I smoothed out the ponytail by adding a subdivision level, so the modded mesh has a higher polycount (51,475 tris vs 34,564).

Vanilla ponytail A

Restored low ponytail with physics. For females of all playable races, except dwarves.

Vanilla ponytail B

Restored high ponytail with physics. For females of all tall playable races.

Installation

I recommend using LaughingLeader's BG3 Mod Manager.* Make sure you're using the latest version! To install a hair mod:

  • Open the .zip file and drop the .pak file into your Mods folder (mine is now located in C:\Users\myname\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods).
  • Launch BG3 Mod Manager and make sure your current profile is selected. Drag my file from your "Inactive mods" list (on the right) onto your "Active mods" list (on the left).
  • Click File > Export Order to Game.
  • To uninstall, drag the file back onto your "Inactive mods" list and save the load order again. You can then delete the .pak file from your Mods folder if you don't want to clutter up your drive. (Your character's hair should revert to a vanilla model if you uninstall the mod mid-playthrough.)
