Ches Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 The hair outside of your scalp is psychologically dead I think you mean physiologically dead.
Grimpak Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I think we can all agree though that the afro in Morten's hair pack looks terrible (if you're reading this, Morten, no offense; I love all your other hairs and actively use one on my beloved character ). So Monsto has a point in demanding more afros. Man that dude should have been shot down in that movie with that squicky voice.. Bruce willis should have fired that guy.. I think he's actually supposed to be annoyingly irritating to the point you want to put him in a planet, shoot the planet dead and collapsing the entire star sector into a black hole.
StayFrosty Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 I have been thinking about getting them myself... ... but don't want to smell funky or gross... ...I make these and reckon they would look epic on Dreadies... ....wouldn't mind seeing a few of these in Skyrim on some Dreads... ...: I've had dreads for 13 yrs. the first year or so sucked pretty hard because I didn't know what the fuck I was doing and everyone I talked to wanted $100 to 'fix' it. And I'm cheap. You'll need 3 things: 1) someone to twist them the first time 2) someone to roll them regularly (like making snakes out of clay). 3) patience. get it twisted once, wash and roll it regularly, and then you need to leave it the hell alone. Seriously . . . don't keep fucking with it. It takes months, just live with it. My syster rolled it up the first time. a month later, I didn't think it was "right" so I pulled em apart. I then paid someone to "fix it" and she was like "you shudda just leff it alone". And she was right. It would have been fine. So get someone to make twists and the rest is easy. I used wax for a couple months and I washed while wearing one of those really thin nylon caps. . . so that my scrubbing wouldn't break em up. I wash with Dawn. Yes the dish soap. It DESTROYS the scalp oils and doesn't try to do you any favors by conditioning or making it fuller or whatever other shit it is that normal shampoos do. That shit is designed to keep it from tangling, which is exactly the opposite of what you want. You could also use Dr. Bronners Magic Soap. Amazon sells it. Your local hippie mart will have it. It's an all purpose soap so it's also 'clean' in that regard. The first few months might benefit from some kinda wax to hold it together because it will WANT to come apart, but that depends on your hair. My hair's kinda thin anyway and they lay down and it took a while to get long enough locks that it didn't want to come apart at the root. if you have thicker hair, they will lock up pretty quickly and give you the porcupine look early on. either way, 6-9 months and they'll be done and you won't need any more wax ever again. After that point, all you have to do is wash and roll it. I did that weekly for probably 3 years. I'd wash it in the shower, the wife would roll it at the root. These days, since it's ankle length, it takes me FOREVER to wash it, like :45 to an hour and that's just at the root. So instead I creep in to the local Snip n Hack and have them wash it. Costs $7, they do it better than I ever have and it takes :20. I come home with it wet and the wife takes another :20 to roll it at the scalp. She then gives me twin french braids that shorten it to about waist length. I try to do that monthly. Yes, that's right . . . only monthly. since my hair is kinda thin, the scalp is pretty open at the roots of the dreads. Yeah it gets kinda oily, but you can't really tell from a distance. The shaft itself is like an old shirt I can't remember the last time i washed anythign that's below my shoulders, it just doesn't need it. Just let it dry and keep it dry and it won't stink. That's the key right there. The smelly ones are smelly because they wrap it up in a tam (a knit dread hat) soon as they get out of the water and they leave it there . . . so not only does it mildew, but the biologicals from your body help stink it up too. only time mine smell is when we go to Texas coast. swimming (ocean or pool) and the super high humidity of the coast and they just never dry out. couple days of that and they start to stink . . . but it's not that "holy shit... what the fuck is that smell!" stink. . . it literally smells like a flannel shirt that's been on the floor in the back of the closet for many years. nope, no shit. So, as long as you let it dry, it won't stink. And one day, you'll walk up to the mirror and go "damn, son" or you'll be out in public and all the sudden someone will walk up to you and go "How long?" and you'll know they're done. It's kinda like bikers with the 2 finger wave on the freeway. I always stop ppl and talk about it. There's this little bitty woman about 40 (i'm 48) that I've seen at a local music festival the last 4-5 years and her shit is SUPER long. She's over 20 yrs and wears em looped back up and attached, end to root, and it's still thigh long (on her). She always does some crazy buns n loops n shit. Every year, i'm there with the wife and this woman and her friends stroll up and we drink n laff n shit. I still don't know her name (= If you have any questions about it at any time, email me: [myfirstname] at [myfirstname] dot com i'll be more than happy to help. Thank you Monsto.... ....my hair is only just short of mid way down my back now and is thicker hair...good length to start perhaps. Thank you for email offer... ....will start the process of looking further into it all now, your tips very helpful. If you're a white guy, my tips may work, but I honestly couldn't tell you. I've met all kinds of ppl with dreads... old school west indie and jamaican rasta, samoan, even american indian, but white guys, I dunno man . . . they just never look good. I'll still answer your questions and all, and the general stuff may help (like keeping em dry)... I just can't tell you whether or not some the specifics will matter. Early 40's white woman with thick dark hair...I guess there's one way to find out...
Guest Ragna_Rok Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 While we're at it...Dreadlocks lacking love too... ...: But dreds are kinda' gross, they're dead and they smell funky! Hair can't be 'dead' because at no point is it ever 'alive'. Your hair isn't made up of cells. Dreadlocks are no more 'alive' or 'dead' than any other hairstyle, nor are they necessarily dirty unless the person wearing them is unhygienic. If any keratinous structure within your body begins to exhibit signs of life, you should probably contact a medical professional immediately. FUN FACT!!! ... did you know that your hair lives longer than you? no joke... once youre burried, your hair continues to grow for a while when your ass is already getting nom-nom-ed by the worms science... never ashamed to research the weird shit
judge0 Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Uh . . . If anyone is actually looking for an afro hairstyle usable in Skyrim On the thread "Sharing My Ports" http://www.loverslab.com/topic/9898-sharing-my-ports There is a link for a download of MortenHairs One actually is an afro . . .

In death, the scalp loses moisture and recedes, creating the illusion that the hair is continuing to grow. In reality it isn't actually 'growing', as once a person dies, their follicles die almost immediately along with them. This recession of skin is the very same reason that fingernails also look as if they continue to grow after death. Dead skin shrivels and desiccates, revealing more of the harder and more resistant tissue that makes up hair and fingernails (keratin), the roots of which extend much further into the body than the eye can see.
Seren Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Incase you guys didn't notice, most hair in Skyrim wasn't made originally for Skyrim. Most of the hair we have available to us is from the Sims 2 and Sims 3 modding community, so your complaint should go there. I don't think there's a whole lot of Skyrim modders that can make quality hair meshes that have the same level of detail as those of the Sims hair mod authors. Also, I've heard that making afros is harder than straight hair, which sounds rather logical if you think about it. Maybe if the style of the hair strands of Morten's looks good to you, you can remodel it to your tastes.

Like here, here and here. They can probably be converted with that Sims to Skyrim tutorial thats been floating around, but I personally don't have the time.
...0... Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Why are skyrim modders so racist? How come I've never seen a skyrim afro? I say afro's are the most versatile of any hair style evar on the face of the planet. Evar. Cheggit... Fro Style #1 First, The Classic. I say Fro, you think this. They come in all shapes and sizes. In these 3 pics, there are 16 people livin the dream with 27 different styles of fro. Why did 40k women have sex with the Commodores in the 70s? LOOK AT THE FROZE. THEY'RE ALL PERFECT. It's just a bonerus that Earth, Wind & Fire's stage act had like 400 people on stage . . . a marching band, half the drummers from Carnaval, a dude who's only job was playin a shaker, somebodies mama cookin up greens and black eyed peas, i mean there was always more people on stage than lived in Pleasantville. And I'm sure everybody was fuckin everybody else. Cept Mike. We all know about Mike's problems. Mike should have dwarfed the poonie collection of both these bands put together, but his father was a dick and he never really had a childhood . . . and the rest is history Fro Style #2 "don't give a fuck" Here's a Reggie Watts joke for those of you trying acclimate yourself to the fro-ness of this post . . . Reggie "Yo. You get the updog?" You "Huh? what?" Reggie "Whatev, man. . . did you get the UPDOG?" You "Dafuq? What's UPDOG?" Reggie "Not much, dog. Wuddup witchu, dog?" Then there's Fro Style #3 WTF? "what on the 9's green nirn am i lookin at?!" Dude. . . There's so many different kinds of fro, that even Jimi & James couldn't make up their minds what kinda fro to have. . . Picked out sphereoid. straightened, but not straight, wild ass mop-fuck Say... that reminds me. . . that last pic of jimi shoze that Froze aint just for black folk either. Those 2 white dudes? All the girls say their fro is fly (for a white guy). What could be whiter than hockey and red hair? This guy is killin it. Then there's the Classic Jewfro Like these guys (including a couple of actors you prob never heard of) which also sport versions of the Wild Ass Mop-fuck, DGAF (1 & 2), and Classic (1 & 2) shapes. That last dude has the most perfect shaped fro I've ever seen. THE MORAL OF THE STORY. . . SKYRIM NEEDS MORE FROZE. ANYONE THAT SAYS DIFFERENT IS JUST A RACIST. GO LIVE WITH THE FORSWORN. Your eather a TROLL or RACIST yourself? Ok lets get some discussion then. First im white male from netherlands to be clear about that. And im not gonne do what your saying this kind of topics and persons behind this present it this way is surely not convincing me enough to make black characters. I'll keep making WHITE we need more white characters I make most of the time only female characters and all white and black hair. Am i a racist now? IF you think so thats the DUMBEST ASSUMPTION EVER assuming when you only make white characters your racist then. And you are prolly black and think all white are racist? I got a hardisk full of soul music from the sixties and jimi hendrix also they belong to one of my favorite musicians and artists. Tina Turner one of my favorite female singers sinds sixties. Donna Summer 70s Im a huge fan of deceased Nelson Mendala. Where all from same planet and i don;t look at colores i look at how people are and there social behavior en social intelligence no matter what color i don't care WHERE ALL HUMANS FROM SAME PLANET where all brothers and sisters. I know plenty BLACK who are more racist then many white how is that for IRONY HEHE. But as i said why i only make white characters BECOUSE I LIKE THAT ITS MY TASTE that don't make me racist. Those this make me a RACIST NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now stop accusing others when not making black characters they are racist becouse it's not only VERY DUMB, i'll make sure i avoid you black-white-yellow or little greenmen with huge eyes I go back to school and pls learn something instead of accusing people of something there NOT. Back ingame making WHITE girl.
winny257 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 for me is the whole discussion a bad joke! where skyrim actually plays?skyrim plays in the the far north, not the Congo (Africa), would actually be the eskimos feel discriminated against.
Ches Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 You can't use Earthly phenomena to rationalize something that simply isn't rational. Skyrim doesn't even take place remotely on Earth -- it's pure fantasy set on a perfectly fictional continent on an imaginary planet. Like, even the northernmost of Earth's biomes don't contain bipedal humanoid lizard and cat-people (although I guess some conspiracy theorists might argue otherwise). Nor is Earth home to any dragons or reanimated zombie Dragon Priests. Who's to say that the genotype for curly hair couldn't have evolved amongst any of the human populations of Tamriel? Really, in the grand scheme of the absurdities that take place on Skyrim, a lore-unfriendly hairstyle isn't so great an offense. Goodness knows there are plenty of other mods that clash far more obviously with the spirit of the game.

Guest Ragna_Rok Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 well, to be honest, calling a whole group of modders racist because that one fucking haircut isnt done yet is pretty racist. if id take this title seriously, id call bullshit on his racism-title and call him / her a lazy sloth for not spending the time nagging about it for modding it. would have taken way less time, and at the same time also brought a new mod to the community. its even way more stupid when later posts confirm that cornrows, dreadlocks, and even a afro, are already modded, and that fellow simply didnt google well enough just scale the friggin afro from that one mod up by 500 percent, and watch out when your character equips a torch to lighten a dungeon :lol: (ps: that blonde chick as an avatar is pretty sexy )

I'm at a loss. ist just about the title ... relax. greetings from cologne ... i wanted to say "hi" in dutch, but quite frankly i only speak a couple of words and cant write them. anyhow... dont be a "kippe" dont expect only serious answers if you name it like that especially when the whole reason to start this rant could be solved with changing ONE LOUSY NUMBER in a niffile. u lazy sloth so, did you already try to upscale that one afro from the japanese mod? id say 500% should look like that--> EDIT: dont forget to watch out with the torches
Guest endgameaddiction Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 If you made fros for Fallout sure I'd have my African Albino kitty rock it. Seriously need more enthusiastic minds in those games...
Wast1980 Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 @Monsto Brukes Do you even how much time it takes to create the mesh, to do the uv map, to texture it and to weight it? That's a problem these days. The users really think modders do their work for the users. USERS ARE SECONDARY. The mod author does the work for him/herself in the first place. If you want this hairstyle done then do it yourself. But don't expect this effort from others just because of you.

Alright, so it destroys the comedy of the post that many people apparently got... . . . but here's the truth Mr Party Pooper: I could not give a single shit less about afros. I had been watching some random youtube, realized there were no afros in skyrim, and thought oh maybe "it would be funny to pretend to rant about it". As creator of this thread and this site, as well as having been the sole proprietor behind user support for many years for technical (albeit temporary) websites as well as other meat-space "endeavors" that I'm not going to list here, I'm well aware of "lazy users" . . . and you know what? I've found that "lazy users" are not so lazy at all when given effective instructions. Out of >50k downloads of HDT, I can count on 2 hands the number of times I've had to redirect a user to the install instructions . . . because I took great care to make sure that the path was clear and that the instructions were clear. So if you have included instructions, and find that, as you said above, "lazy users" are asking you how to get your mods to work, then write better instructions.
