I got new hair made (funny to say that, isn't it? At least at first…) by Starley Thereian. Infothread in the SL Forums. Didn't fit that well at first, but following some caressing and treatments with the Torley variety of hairbrush, in my own words (and again, you can see how lame SL's JPEG compression for postcards is):

Had to make a few mods to get it to fit me exactly the way I like it… i.e. even the hot pink hasn't hot enough!
Added green for highlights, a couple extra locks+transparency to give
polish, and I'm good to go! YAYZERAMA for COPY/MOD/NOTRANS!!!

It now fits me like a pediglove fits a foot.
