BareStrands Hair | Horizon Forbidden West (Patreon)

This small yet mighty mod gives Aloy’s iconic Radhair a breath of fresh air while keeping her overall look canon‑friendly. By gently snipping away the braids, ties, and those stubborn front strands, BareStrands lightens her silhouette and lets her hair flow with youthful freedom.

✨ What you’ll notice:

Aloy’s shoulders and breast finally get the spotlight they deserve—no more braid barricades.

Her hairstyle feels more effortless, as if she just stepped out of a Nora spa day.

The game’s aesthetic remains intact, blending seamlessly with Horizon’s lush environments.

🎭 Why it’s fun:

Think of it as Aloy’s “weekend edition” look—battle‑ready but with a touch of carefree charm.

Perfect for players who want Aloy to look like she’s saving the world and starring in a shampoo commercial.

Adds variety without breaking immersion—because even post‑apocalyptic warriors deserve a little style refresh.

🔧 Compatibility

✅ Works with all outfits - no hair patching required.

✅ Automaticaly snaps into Mod Manager - no load order adjustments needed

⚠️ Not designed to be used together with Hair Studio. But hey, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can mix the two mods and see what kind of wild hair day Aloy ends up with 🙂

⚙️ Oseram cheers to all my amazing Patreon members!

To all my brave Nora, Oseram, and Banuk who’ve chosen to support me on Patreon—thank you! Your shards, scrap, and goodwill keep these mods flowing smoother than a Focus update. Without you, Aloy might still be stuck untangling braids instead of running free with her radiant shoulders.

Every pledge is like finding a stash of Ridge‑Wood right when you need arrows most. You make the grind lighter, the experiments funnier, and the results shinier. So here’s to you, my fellow machine‑hackers and hair‑freedom fighters: may your inventories stay full, your mounts stay loyal, and your hairstyles stay gloriously bug‑free.
