Natural Twists - Hairstyle for VRChat

Natural Twists for VRChat avatars! This is a protective, two-strand twist hairdo that is versatile, stylish, and simple to put in and take out. This can be an easy haircare ritual and/or a daily style for any coily, curly, kinky, or wavy texture.

I based this asset on the way I personally style/protect my hair -- always loved the look of dreadlocks or hanging braids, but this two-stand twist style is the perfect compromise to fit the dreads look into my schedule.

Dependencies:

poiyomi 9.1.23+ OR liltoon 1.8.5+

VRCFury (recommended)

Ensure your project's VRCSDK is up to date!

Details:

12,704 - 15,572 tris

+27-30 bones

+1-2 avatar memory bits

~4.0 mb texture memory

-3 blendshapes that slope and nuance the front of the hairstyle to frame your avatar's face differently.

-Note, the Extreme Bones .fbx has excessive bones, as each twist is individually weightpainted to it's own bone chain -- this is not recommended for VRC, and no prefabs include this version. Great for .VRM, renders, or photoshoots however!

1.4 UPDATE 2/28/2025:

• Simplified prefab options
• Added "Any Avatar" prefab
• Removed excess leaf bones
• Added 1 material matching default Novabeast
• Menu icons
  

  

There are 3 blendshapes that slope and nuance the front of the hairstyle to frame your avatar's face differently.

Thank you for all of your support on the Curly Afro w/ Pick, continued POC hair assets and fashion for VRC are planned in the future!
