Less Default Hair [Legacy version for 0.9 and 1.0]

Description
Important:
This is the old version. Those looking for an updated version for 1.1 and 1.0 (with some 1.1 hair added) may be interested in this:
Less Default Hair [for 1.0 & 1.1]

DESCRIPTION:
Isn't it frustrating to have the opportunity to get pawns with good traits and skills, but who happen to have hair so horrendous that we can't stand to look at them? With so many excellent hair mods, there's little reason to continue using all the subpar vanilla choices. But while most vanilla hairstyles are ugly or at least inferior to similar styles in hair mods, some of us would rather not remove all of them.

Vanilla hairstyles I have removed:
  • Afro
  • Braided knot
  • Brief ponytail
  • Burgundy ....(seems too plain to me)
  • Curly
  • Firestarter
  • Greasy swoop
  • Long
  • Pigtails ........(because Spoons Hair Mod's Lulu looks better)
  • Princess
  • Scatman
  • Scorpion tail
  • Troubaduor
  • Tuft
  • Wavy
Vanilla hairstyles I wanted to keep:
* Bob .... (F) * Flowy .. (F) * Messy .. (M) * Mohawk . (M usually) ... {now Punk and Tribal, not Urban} * Mop .... (M) {removed F} {texture has been modified} * Senorita (F) * Shaved . (M) {removed F} {removed Rural} * Spikes . (M usually) ... {now Punk and Tribal, not Urban} * Topdog . (M)
- Note 0: (M) indicates a men-only style, (F) indicates women-only and (M usually) is rarely on women.
- Note 1: While I did keep Mop, I modified the texture to make it look better and reversed it so that it's easily distinguishable from Rimhair's "Neat" style.
- Note 2: The removed hairstyles can still be chosen for starting characters via EdB Prepare Carefully.
- Note 3: Since this reduces vanilla hair to 9 styles (up to 5 for women or 6 for men), the installation of hair mods for more variety is highly recommended.

CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS VERSION:
  • The Messy style has been added back. I've decided that it is decent and different enough from modded hair.
  • Mohawk is now both Punk and Tribal. (It used to be strictly Punk.)
  • Spikes is now both Punk and Tribal. (It used to be strictly Punk.)

RECOMMENDED HAIR MODS:

OTHER RECOMMENDED MODS:
I'd also recommend one of these two mods (but not both):

CREDITS:
Special thanks to:
  • Mittsies for the inspiration that the No Awful Hairstyles mod provided me. (All my files are my own or modified from the core game.)
  • skullywag and kchou94 for extracting and releasing the RimWorld core art source[ludeon.com]. That made it simple for me to modify (and update) the texture for the Mop hair style.

This is not a new mod. I just re-uploaded this as a separate Workshop item for those who want or need this old version.

Those interested in something like this might want to check out my newer version:

Please read the description more carefully: Quote, "Note 2: The removed hairstyles can still be chosen for starting characters via EdB Prepare Carefully ."

Also, you seem to misunderstand what this mod actually does. Yes, it removes certain hairstyles from randomized starting characters (unless you use EdB Prepare Carefully). But it also does more than that. It also prevents these hairstyles from appearing on raiders and random NPCs that may or may not join your colony later.

BTW: Usually, I also use EdB Prepare Carefully. Yes, it's a great mod.

yeah, its called "Edb prepare carefully" sure you can give your self all the items but you can also very easily Not do that. and Bonus, you can pick and choose whatever the hell hairdo you want. why the hell are you dealing with all that RNG diceroll garbage anyways?. you know that whole thing is a complete waste of time and a detriment to the game right?
