Hair

The hair you choose to wear is a matter of personal preference.

Long, straight, short, wavy, curly, you’ll see all these styles in SL.

Hair can be found free, though the quality and selections are often

better on purchased hair.  You can find all color combos. Try a Demo

hair before you buy (Demo is the demonstration hair for a particular

style available for free or for 1 Linden dollar). With several types

of hair being created, you’re sure to find a hairstyle you love.  There

are three types of hair: rigid prim hair made of linked, individual prim

with textures on them, next is the flexible prim hair, with both rigid

prim and flexible (waving, moving) prim, to simulate the look of hair

as it’s affected by breeze and gravity.  The third kind is alpha textures

(transparent areas in a texture) linked and combined with other

prim hair.  Alpha texture hair can appear thinned or transparent

against certain other alpha textures, but it can still look good. There

are a few combinations of all types in world, and so many styles.

You can find hair in hair malls, salons, hair shops and certain

designer shops.  Or, you can find a limited selection of free hair in

the “freebie” spots around SL  The box below has some hair to give
