This lovely swirly pigtail mesh from Raon (female hair #21) has 8928 faces, a huge count by early standards but now considered relatively low-poly. It works for all ages, although occasionally there is some clipping with the pigtails. This is noticeable mostly on toddlers (check out the example below). The texture is pooklet's version 3.
It is made using the six pooklet colors that I use in my game: Dynamite (black), Depth Charge (brown), Incendiary (blonde), and Explosive (red) grouped together as a family; and Volatile (light blonde) and Pyrotechnic (light red) grouped individually. All hairs are binned, and compressed. Elders use Mail Bomb (light grey), which is linked to Dynamite from family 1 and both Volatile and Pyrotechnic in case you don't use both.
I made these colors using a new experimental technique in the GIMP. (The written instructions for pooklet's colors don't work for the reds, so improvisation is necessary.) I used the Get RGB Curves plugin to extract the curves needed to transform a texture from Volatile (the base color) to the rest of pooklet's spectrum. This seems to work really well, at least to my eye, with a couple of exceptions, so I've exported the curves and made them available to other GIMP users. (I noted the two neon colors that are noticeably different.) If you try it, please let me know how well it works. (You will need to supply your own base textures.)
According to Raon's policy, the mesh is not included. You can download it separately directly from Raon. Also: Elsewhere on MTS there are some Maxis-match and neon recolors of Raon's fringe/bangs variant of the same mesh, if you like it better that way.
