Help me choose a Hair - An alternative to my normal "Mane"

So hard to find good-looking mid-length hair. I know the struggle. Dura is a good choice.

I personally think that these three suit you well:

I would say look at No.Match also and see if they have something there that you may like also.

This is a good suggestion.

I'd also like to add that the stores Vango (which is the one I personally use but might be a bit shorter than what you're looking for) and Truth have some hairstyles that fit quite well if you're looking for even more hairstyles. L'etre & Doux has some unisex options too, but not that many.

/me waits breathlessly for the final winner............  where is that envelope???  Soon........??

I need to try a few still that people have suggested, then post "my" favorites. Unfortunately, yesterday was RL busy and today I'm stuck working.  If I get "bored" (any minute now already) or "caught up" with work (which isn't likely at all), I'll go work on hair. lol

This has been fun to read, good idea for a thread. :) I'd like to see some of the Magika suggestions posted earlier. My advice is to avoid styles with fringe that spills much over the cheeks and sides and conflicts with your whiskers.

Of everything posted so far, I really prefer the "fuller" styles, and mostly the "longer" styles. 

The one a couple people liked with the "top knot" - sorry, but it looks pretty weird with my head and ears! MAYBE it would look less weird with smaller ears, dunno..

But yeah, can't cover the whiskers too much (that would be bad), but since I made them myself I can modify them / move them forward, etc. Had to turn off Flexi for them to work on the Mobile viewer recently.

Here are some hairs I already had but never wore, which "count" since they mostly match the style I wanted. There are few I didn't care for, I added notes to those.

DamselFly Billie

DamselFly Oren - I don't like this for TWO reasons: 1) The alpha is totally screwed up (see the fence through the hair), and 2) It just looks messy!

Exile Blown Away - This is the same brand as the hair I wear every day.

Yeah, I like the first and I just ordered demos of the last two Exile styles to try for myself.  The MP sucks today but it IS Sunday.....................

I like some of these a lot! Marketplace is slow to deliver, so I will edit to add those. (I had to get the Truth ones from their store.)

@Esther Bunny, they are now all in this post.

I updated one of my old hairs to better colors (Ginger and Cinnamon shown below). It has the "alpha blend/sorting" issue, but I like it better than the "messy" (Oren) style.

Damselfly Billie (Ginger)

* Bonus * See second picture, how LONG it is in the back!!

Please help me by choosing whichever hair you like the best, from the "Dura NA-Series" hair which I just bought.  

The first picture is my current long hair "mane", since I'm a Neko Lion (that hair is "::Exile:: Future Outcasts"). The other pictures are "Dura" NA-series hair which I bought today. (They are all a shorter style.)

I did not try very hard yet to pick the same "color" using the HUDs. (But I should be able to match the color. I usually go for a brownish-red or reddish-brown.)

They all make my current Lion ears look huge, since the hair is smaller than the current long hair "mane". (I can wear different / smaller lion ears.)

(I also took pictures of each of the Dura hair with "Bright" selected in the HUD, but those are really very Neon.)

Thanks,

Love

I redid the Dura hair pics after finding a shade of reddish-brown in the HUD. (Not sure why I gave up so easily and used the color picker..)

Dura 40 - too short

Dura 22 - Not bad

I went through my old demos and bought a lot of Damselfly, took all the pictures, and retook the previous Damselfly pictures - this time with a background due to the "alpha glitch" which showed the fence behind me.  (I chose a neutral color background so it would not be too "white").

The first 6 Damselfly hairs:

Savon - A little messy, but "mane-like"

Damselfly Savon_001.png

Lucan - I like the length and style

Heisel - I like it, but a little messy

Gerick - A little short

Gage - Mane-like, not as messy as some

Caden - A little short, but I like it

The next 6 Damselfly hairs:

Billie Cinnamon - Messier than some, but very mane-like. Not sure I like the "bangs" effect.

Damselfly Billie Cinnamon_003.png

Yohen - I like the style, and the length is OK

Damselfly Yohen_001.png

Xeric - More stylish, not bad

Von - Too messy, don't care for the bangs, but mane-like

Talan - I like the style and length

Damselfly Talan_001.png

Sayed - More mane-like, makes up for the messiness

The last two Damselfly pics are "retakes" from the first run (older hair), with a background since all the rest have a background.

Billie Mesh light brown - I think this used to be one of my favorite hairs.

Oren Ginger - I still think it's too messy
