UPDATED: 12.16.2011 - Fixed shine issue & retouched texture with better shading & contrast. Please redownload.
A set of bunhawks (or roll and tuck frohawks) for your sims. The hair texture is wavy / nappy because they were made with ethnic / afro sims in mind, but I think it looks like it fits any race.
I'm going to keep concentrating on making ethnic / afrocentric / curly / nappy hairs for a while now. While I don't do requests, I AM looking for new ideas on hairstyles to try (slowly building up my skill sets & resources along the way), so if there's a style in that vein that you'd like to see, then link me up with some pictures, and I might get around it. I still have a lot to learn when it comes to hair meshing, so I'll be picking new projects based on appropriateness for whatever my current skill level is and overall cuteness/coolness of the hair.
These are enabled for all ages, females only. Polycount is medium, at about 5100. Because that's within the normal game range, I think I enabled this hair for random, but I can't recall if I remembered to check the little random box. :-P
Enjoy!

That makes me happy! It always disappointed me how I couldn't make sims that looked like me in TS2 (round shaped faces were practically impossible to make), so I know your pain.

Thanks for the ideas.
I'm already planning something similar to the first one, but it'll be with shorter hair. I'm not going to attempt long hair and messing around with bone assignments/body morphs until I have a more intimate understanding of the basics.
this is really amazing and
this is really amazing and creative work indeed.

Thank you!! I was just thinking earlier how ridiculous EA's ethnic hairs look, this will work perfectly for the Sim I have in mind.
Great! I can't stand EA's
Great! I can't stand EA's ethnic hairs either, although I did use their cornrow texture for my first frohawk... so I guess they're not all bad
Ok, now I'm just speechless.
Ok, now I'm just speechless. This bun design is incredible! I can hardly wait for what's coming out next!
Here are some nifty ideas:

Thanks for the ideas! The
Thanks for the ideas! The afro is definitely one of the styles I want to try when I level up my skill a little more. I was already thinking of doing a fade, but I was thinking more of one of those ridiculous hi-top fade styles from the 80s. XD Usher's fade will make a good photo reference if I decide to do a more natural fade.
Thank you for making this
Thank you for making this hairs for afro sims! Finally I can make sims that look natural, haha!!
Also, I don't know how well very short meshes work, but if you could make one like this

I would be really happy. So many glam hairstyles for my straight-hair sims but no normal ones for boring me-sim!

(Sandy? As in ATS Sandy? If so, I love your site and all your creations!)
*looks at the image*
Hmmm... interesting. I like more normal hairstyles too. I don't know exactly how I'd make it (I can think of a few different ways, but I'm not sure which one would looks the best). I'll keep this one in mind and maybe inspiration will strike.
These are crazy cool!
The level of creativity on this hair is awesome; elegant yet fun at the same time! Thanks for sharing, robokitty, and I cannot wait to see what further awesome things you can do. Sorry for saying awesome so much. Awesome. :D
Enjoy the awesome :)
Enjoy the awesome :)
these hairs you've made
these hairs you've made recently are brilliant. i've been complaining about the lack of natural hairs for sims since the game came out. i'm looking forward to seeing more! :)
thanks!
thanks!

:D You've done it again! Your frohawk series have been epic! ^__^ You should definitely keep this up! I like the above suggestions too lol heres mine. Its a pic I drew but I think the style might be kinda simplistic. The braids you used on the original frohawk were the best I've seen in TS3 yet so I thought this (or something like it) would be interesting to make and see:

Nice drawing! I probably
Nice drawing!
I probably won't attempt something like that for a while as it would require extra bone assignments, but I'll keep it in my idea folder for the future :)

Wow, the last three hairs have been truly amazing, the texture, the style. Really good work. Thank you so much for making our sims look a little more interesting with your beautiful crafted creations ^_^
Thanks for the comment. My
Thanks for the comment. My last hairs haven't been 100% where I want them to be (I'm a perfectionist!), so I'm glad that you like the meshes + textures! I'm still working on improving both.
Thank you for the awesome hairs!
Hi, I'm hoping you can make a more loosely curled type afro in this shape. with headband fine as long as its not too big (the hair and the headband lol)

My style of choice is something low, usually in one tail, 2 is more for girls under 18

(2 is also fine btw)
looking for some less eccentric hairs for my mixed sims that is not straight.
I'm really hoping to see more from you, keep up the good job!
Those are definitely styles
Those are definitely styles that I intend to try in the future.
WOOW...another great hair.
WOOW...another great hair. I'm so happy someone is finally making afro/caribbean hair for the sims. Thank you a million!
You're welcome! Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing this^^
Thank you!
Thank you!
Loving the ethnic hair and THIS one especially
I just HAD to say I am in LOVE with the hair you are doing. I used this one in game last night and I'm just in AWE. I have been dying for more ethnic hair in the sims. I also love the way you do the roots in particular. The detail is fantastic. But enough rambles..
Here are some things I would love to see if you want to give them a go...
Braid Crown-Fro

Thanks! Sorry to say, but I
Thanks!
Sorry to say, but I will probably not be doing more cornrows in the near future aside from recycling parts of my old mesh. It was pretty intensive to mesh all the cornrows, and I need to level up my skill and learn some more tricks to make myself more efficient before I give it another try. But once I try them again, I will probably make something like the braid crown-fro picture and the first picture under goddess braids. Also, I really love the 2nd Box braids picture that you linked, so I'll save that for the future.
This is so, so pretty. Thank
This is so, so pretty. Thank you!!
