Default Hair mesh trouble
I downloaded some hairs that are 4t2 conversions, but doesn't show up in game or bodyshop, it just appear a bald head, like if the mesh (which is included) isn't attached to the colors, is there any way to fix it? thanks!

Yes, all of them (they're 4 the hairs that gave me troubles) they're from simblrsilverl (Anastasia, Ari, Ophelia & Nelli) all her other hairs work fine for me even when I compressed them, so idk what happens, seems like the hair is there but the mesh is just not properly attached?

Okay, I meant for a link, saying a name doesn't help. I wanted to look at it.

Do you have shaders off? I think if I remember correctly, 4 conversions need shaders often to show correctly?

They're on, but the hairs doesn't even appear correctly on the BodyShop, just shows a bald head (I even download the same hairs from other person, still doesn't work)

Are the hairs ridiculously high-poly? (You can check by looking at the GMDC resource in SimPE.) Many 4t2 hairs are crazy-high-poly (Like, 35K+ polys), especially LeahLillith's like those, and some video cards do not like to render ridiculously-high-poly hairs in TS2. It's not even a matter of how good the card is. Some really good, new cards won't render them, while some older/less powerful ones will render them just fine. A bald head generally means your card is refusing to render the hair, and If your video card refuses to render them, then your only option is to wait for someone to make a lower-poly version or do it yourself if you know how to mess with hair meshes.

EDIT: I had SimPE open, so I went ahead and looked at the polys myself. Anastasia is 32K poly and Ari is 35K, so I would say your problem is right there. Unfortunately, like I said, there's no way to fix this other than lower-poly versions of those meshes. Either that, or a video card that will render high-poly hairs in TS2. That being said, I'm sure that if you look on All The Hairs, you can probably find very similar styles that aren't so crazy-high-poly.

I'm mostly found on (and mostly upload to) Tumblr these days because, alas, there are only 24 hours in a day.

Damn, I'll have to wait until someone lower the polys xD thanks!
