Overview of hair related things

Summary

Published: November 04 2022 by @manavortex Last documented update: January 14 2023 by manavortex

This page will give you an overview for working with Cyberpunk's hair material.

• For a guide on how to add hair to Cyberpunk, check Basic Hairstyle Replacement Tutorial

• For a more detailed explanation of the hair shader, see

• If you want to change an NPC's hair instead, you can check this or this guide.

• To look up hairstyles in more detail, you can use NoraLee's excellent NPV part picker

Name of meshes by index

These names correspond to the mesh files.

• To find a hair's .app file, search the correct mesh in Wolvenkit, then right-click on it and select "find files using this".
• To find a hair's root entity, repeat the same process with its .app file

List has been confirmed working before 1.6, but might need updating (especially since new hair was added)

Hair .ent files

Hairs and all their components are assigned and defined via .ent files. You can find them in the following folder:

base\characters\head\player_base_heads\appearances\entity\hairs 

The last number in the file name matches the first number in the .mesh file name:

e.g., if you wanted to edit the entity file for female V's hair 28 hh_083_wa__ponytail_01, you could search for

player_base_heads > hairs > hairs_083

Beards

Beards are only used by mascV. Their entity files can be found in this folder:

base\characters\head\player_base_heads\appearances\entity\facial_hairs\

Any .app files are stored under

base\characters\head\player_base_heads\appearances\facial_hairs\

Beard morphtargets and the meshes they pull in can be found in the player's basehead folder:

base\characters\head\player_base_heads\player_man_average

Beard component names

Any beard uses the same two components, beard and beard_shadow_01.
