Because we’ll be using Blender to make the mesh for our hair mod, we recommend at least having a cursory knowledge of how to use Blender before attempting to follow this guide. If you don’t have that, we recommend [https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjEaoINr3zgEPv5y--4MKpciLaoQYZB1Z&si=GqdmSXxoU6_-RorW Blender Guru’s Donut tutorial series].
