It's Epiphany! Have a Stealth Hair Dump!

hat_plays_simsWelp, it's Epiphany/Three Kings' Day/the Feast of Fools, and Christmas is officially over! Which means three things: Christmas gifts are now late, you no longer have "You know, Christmas is technically two weeks long" as an excuse to leave your tree up, and it's time for my annual Epiphany Sims 2 postings!
Only I don't exactly have as much stuff as I've had in previous years, due to reality (hard drive failure, loss of pet, relatives and holidays, sudden kitten acquisition (I mean, okay, yes, I was deliberately meeting kittens, but I thought that organization had a ten-day waiting period but NOPE sent me home with the little fuzzball that day), and a pair of hell's own headcolds). In fact this is more like a petite hair dump.
So let's toss up the Hair Dump boilerplate!
Behind the cut lurk five hairs and six beards for your downloading pleasure. Before the cut lurks the Hair Dump Policy:
NO PAYSITES. Mesh creators' policies may vary, my policy says I want a cut (like that would ever happen), but Pooklet says no and these are Pooklet's actions. So no paysites.
PRAISE BE UNTO: Mel, Crisps and Kerosene, and Necrodog for meshes, Nouk, Pooklet, Nymphy, for textures, my lovely donors who make sure I can keep my photos online (which lets me post hair dumps at all), and you lot for being patient with my long radio silence.
HEY LISTEN! Meshes are included unless otherwise noted. Swatches and previews are included in the zip files, everything is compressorized. Poly counts may vary; MAKE NOTES. Elders go gray, but you also get Time Bomb in the custom bin, just in case Primer isn't platinum enough for you. All female hairs are maternity-wear enabled from teen and up, and all male hairs from YA and up, to stop the weird hair disappearing act that happens if you don't have a Pregnant Sims Wear Any Outfit hack (but why wouldn't you?). BEARDS have colors enabled for elders, and can be downloaded as UNBINNED, BINNED, or BINNED AND TOWNIE-FRIENDLY. Binned elders keep their beard colors; gray beards are binned as gray exclusively. Beards are not familied because for some reason that didn't want to work.
ANNOYING THINGS I DO: Because I credit everybody in them, my folder and file names are stupidly long. Feel free to shorten one, the other, or both as you please-- better you edit them to suit your needs than I just name everything [COLOR NAME] and cheese everybody off, right? Also, each hair color has an elder gray attached instead of only black. Feel free to re-bin everything and cut out the extra grays, or only use one family but swap out textures so your elders have some variety, whatever. (Beards have grays as separate packages.) Likewise, I bin using Pooklet's original scheme, because it's a nice easy default. I totally do not care if you re-bin things to suit your own tastes (but hey, every hair has a gray attached in case you need it!), and neither does Pooklet, so do whatever makes you happy, binning-wise.
EVEN MORE ANNOYING: Everybody sees a hair dump, so...
Wanna help me feed my cats?
In case you feel like dropping me a buck or two, should you have a buck or two to spare. Donors get two things at the moment: a) a link to the Super Secret Cat Gallery, full of pictures of the cats you'll be feeding, updated sporadically when the cats do something photogenic and I'm fast enough on the trigger to catch it, and b) a link to the list of content I have done-but-not-screencapped, nearly done, partly done, or in the planning stages, and the option to suggest what ought to be in the next batch of things I focus on.
Yes, if you want to do the unnaturals, please feel free to do the unnaturals. I have no plans to do so. Just remember to credit properly-- I tend to use Nouk's waves, FR's braid, and usually Pooklet's V1 textures, though I like V3 on beards.
If you spot any broken links or other idiocy, please let me know!
There are five large (and six reasonable) pics behind the cut, cats and kittens. Dial-up users beware.

Long male hairs with believable amounts of volume can be pretty thin on the ground. This one gets a little narrow toward the back of the head, but I still like it, and it plays nicely with a lot of my accessory hats. Elf-ear friendly!

I will also retexture just about any short hair that looks product-free. I like this one, even though it's kind of obvious I was struggling for names when I was making my swatches. There's a female version of this hair that uses the exact same textures; you could slave them, if you're so inclined.

This one was a real challenge to texture, and I got a lot of practice in with the Warp tool. The mapping was fairly straightforward, but also curved and kinda basegame-like. And sure, this hair isn't super-long, but I like the shape of it anyway-- and there's a male version that could be texture-referenced, if you're into that kind of thing.

That's it for hairs! Let's move on to beards! (The model for all of these is one of my pastiest Sims, for contrast purposes.)

I love Nymphy's Barber's Cut set, but I needed them in all my favorite color actions. You understand. This is the Alistair alpha, which has always looked to me like a guy who's trying desperately hard to grow a beard in the first place.

That's right, it's the unthinkable! It's a custom beard with morphs! (I would've done Necrodog's Jack Sparrow beard, too, but it has some problems with non-Euclidean geometries). I kind of feel like I should re-retexture this one, or fiddle with the alpha, or something. It's a great beard that I suspect I'm not showing to its best advantage.
