Speakeasy got dropped because all their designs required a mesh head hairbase. So next.



Next up, then, {amiable} (they're on the Blonde sim) with "HAIR002" (still just blown away by the poetry in these hair names). I'm showing it in the Rigged version and the second tone (a light golden blonde) from the multi-pack color HUD.



This is "HAIR002_2" which I'm again wearing Rigged, and...uh...I don't see the difference? I'm showing it in the eighth tone (a strong coffee-brown) from the multi-pack color HUD, but...yeah, what was the point of a second variation of the same style?



Next, "HAIR003", again Rigged version, and I picked the last tone (a light cherry red) from the multi-pack color HUD.



Finally, "HAIR004", Rigged, and shown in the thirteenth tone (sort of a sea-blue, teal blue) from the multi-pack color HUD. I waited five minutes for the grey to clear; even detached the hair and put it on again; the grey didn't clear. So that's the pic I'm posting, because you at least get the general idea.



Last one for this year's run, {Limerence} (mainstore), with "Maisy". I'm showing it in the fifth tone from their "Natural Ombre" color HUD.

And we would have ended with "Marisa", the terribly clipping, but...apparently I forgot to actually take the picture, and I am not going back and taking it again.

And that's it! We're done! Hopefully I'll actually get a chance to visit the Hair Fair now!

Zibska begins this entry (they're on the Redhead sim), with "Adrastea DEMO 01". I guess 01 or 09 are the color designations, because there's both an Omega hairbase applier for mesh heads, and two tattoo-layer hairbases enclosed. So I'll be staying with the 01 hairs for this.

And this is a hot air balloon. The hell, Zibska?



This is "Ananke DEMO 01", which is...a tropical plant of some sort. Okay.



"Ananke Orbit DEMO 01" is an add-on for the above, that gives the illusion of windblown petals, I guess.



"Eurydome DEMO 01" is...cubes. Okay.



And "Harpalyke DEMO 01" is either ice cream, or a snow-white puffy Christmas tree. Zibska, I do not get you.

We're starting off with RAMA Salon's "Jess" hair (in the M+ size). I'm showing it in the Soft Black tone from the "BLACKS" color HUD.

Unorthodox had mesh head hairbases, so they're out; Sintiklia's hairs just would not rez in, though the white rings around their demos did just fine. So they're out.



And this is "Polly", in "Ombre 2" from the "COLOR OMBRE 1-5" color HUD.



Vanity's hair demo (mainstore) was a bit of a challenge; their HUD settings to color hair are tricky. But this is "Back to School", in the eleventh tone from the "All Browns" color HUD.



Next up, Wasabi (mainstore) with "Camila", which is the size A (BOOBS 1) variant, and is being shown in the strong purple from the "Fireworks" color HUD.



This is "Cole", seen in the deepest green/black from the "Solar" color HUD, and I do not like that hairline.



And finally, this is "Maddie", shown in the seventh tone from the "Reds" color HUD.

Lovey Dovey (no landmark given) timed their demos, so I'm not covering them, because the first style I tried, I jumped over to make sure the coding was accurate on the blog post, and the hair evaporated. So...nope, that's it, done with them.



SO, we're moving on to Mina (mainstore). This is "Annie" (the fitted version), and I'm showing it in the blond-pink ombre from the "Dip dye" color HUD.



This is "Frankie", and I'm showing it in the kind of mahogany brown tone from the "Essentials" color HUD.



Next up, pr!tty (mainstore), with "Cloe" (using the rigged variant). I'm showing it in the sort of stronger rose-gold tone from the "Blondes" color HUD.



This is "Gigi", in the farthest-over tone under Medium Roots from the "Reds" color HUD.



And this is "Kammy", also rigged, and being shown in the first tone under Heavy Roots on the "Fades" color HUD.

Well, we would have started with hoMAGE, but...they included back hair pieces, and mesh head hairbase appliers, and I still don't have a mesh head. So we move on.



So this is ItGirls' (no landmark given) "Borderline" hairstyle, in the darkest brown of the "Naturals" color HUD. A question: is it "Borderline" because of the way the hair folds so obviously in front? Because that is not at all attractive.



This is the "Yonce" hairstyle, Windswept variation, which isn't bad. I'm showing it in the "Ombres" color hud, the first brown-to-blonde tone.



Now we move onto KMH (no landmark given), and this is "F101", and I picked a strong purple from the "Color" color HUD. Oh, the tragedy of clipping.



Their "F102" is a Loli-curl style I'm showing in the silver-est silver from the "Natural" color HUD.



And this is "M101", so I'm assuming the "F" and "M" designations are male and female? Though this is easily worn by women. I picked the solid burgundy from the "Color" color HUD.



Next up, KUNI (mainstore), and their first offering, "Fran". I'm showing it in the "Boobs/Size 1" variation, and color 10 from the "Hot" color HUD. (I tried color 6 and color 3 first, but the grey patches didn't clear. So it's either going to take longer than I'm going to give it, or that flat 'derezzed' grey is their demo stripe.



And this is "Maria", in the ssame variation for chest as above, using color 12 from the "Summer" color HUD. This one didn't have the weird greying issues. I don't get why.

We're up to Exile (no landmark), and I'm not showing "A Little Sassy" because I cropped the wrong picture then threw away the original. Drat.



This is "Intensity", in color two from the second row of the "Natural Fusion" color HUD, and setting one (no bangs) with hair down (second setting) on the style HUD.



This is "Mysterious", in color three from the "Browns" color HUD, and setting four (all the insane hair) on the style HUD.



This is "Trouble" in color five from the "Wild Fusion" color HUD, and setting three (pony to the right side) with bangs one from the styling HUD.



Next up, FANTAVATAR & MOONSTRUCK's (main store) "Oblivion" line of more medieval styles, with "Giovanni delle Bande Nere". It's sort of a messy dreads style? Not sure what the wispy scarf-like bit is, it may just be a demo add, all I know is nothing changed when I hit a different button on the accessories menu below the color HUD. (The color is their sturdy red.)



And this is "Lucrezia Borgia", an Italian Renaissance style, shown in a strong wheat blonde from the color HUD, and the pearl net changed to dark green.

We're now at Alli & Alli (main store), and this is their "Celebration" braided hair in Raspberry Cyan. Didn't pick anything, the demo's only in one color. And boy, does it clip.



This is "Dany", in Platinum Pink Blue. It also clips--both through the chest, and, weirdly, through the neck. The neck clipping is strange.



And this is "Joff" in Hazel. Never did a hair cry out more for a hairbase.



Next up, eliavah, with "Sora". I'm using the "Both Bangs" version, which yes, clips through the chest, in the purplish tone from the "Moonlit" color HUD.

Is this...just the bangs? I can't tell.



Okay, this next one is weird. So this is the "Tsukuyomi" hair, no materials, right out of the box. Probably something from the "Red" color HUD, I'm not sure, this is straight of the box, as is. But, looking at it, I wasn't sure there was clipping across the chest, so I thought I'd try the Hourglass variant?



This is the Hourglass hair. I picked the "Ombre 2" color HUD at random, the fifth color heart, and then blinked. What happened to the hair?

Seriously, if anyone knows, feel free to tell me. I'm baffled. Because to me, it looks like the bangs didn't change color, the rest of the hair that did change color got shorter, and it's a really lousy texturing job. Is it something about my graphics settings? I have no idea.

Picking up again with aa (no landmark given), this is "MAYU", and I'm using the slate blue tone from the "ESSENTIALS" color HUD.



And we're finishing up with "SHIJIMA", a short bob with razor-cut bangs. I'm showing it in color two on the left-hand side from the "BLONDE/BEIGE" color HUD.



Now we're up to Bliensen + Maitai (no landmark given), and their style "Lynn", which I'm showing in the fifth tone from the "Unicorn" color HUD, with materials.



This is "Rosa", which I'm showing in the white from the "WhiteGreyBlack" color HUD, and I left the roses red (there's also an option to turn them off entirely, it looks like).



And this is "Vera", which looks very much like "Lynn", and I'm showing it in the seventh tone from the "Reds" color HUD.

We're up to Analog Dog (main store), still pretty much the only store still making usable and attractive flexi hair. I still think this would've been improved with an enclosed hair base, but as it is it's pretty good. This is "em", for which I picked "bang 1" from the little styling section of the color HUD, and I'm showing one of the lower raspberry tones form the "Mix" specific color HUD.

Also...I got really excited by the white streak in the hair until I realized it was the demo stripe. Darn. But that's likely just me.



This is "mato", with "bang 2" on and "bang 1" turned off (I think?). I'm showing it in the sixth tone of the "dark reds" color HUD.



This is "ono", using "bang 2" on and "bang 1" off for the same reason (there was odd clipping through my right eye). I'm also using the fifth row second tone from the "splash" color HUD.



This is "poeia", which I liked until I realized it clips STRAIGHT through the chest. That's disappointing. No bangs are shown, because apparently "bang 1" and "bang 2" are the same bang set, there's no differentiation. And I'm showing it in the fourth row's seventh tone from the "light blondes" color HUD.



This is aa's (no landmark given) "CHOUCHO" hair, using color three from the second row of the "MONO/ASH" color HUD.



And this is "KAGEROU", in color four from the second row of the "BROWN/RED" color HUD.
