Wait from the video, does this seem to ALSO avoid the annoying bug with the Brush tool where it resets the particle hair shape if you're using the brush tool and toggle it on while clipping hair??? Cause that alone makes this plugin worth its weight in gold LOL

It does!
I bonked my head on that shit, I found a way to reduce it pretty much completely. :3

About the symmetry question that @yeetomeato asked in the reviews, if you cannot directly mirror hair after-the-fact, you might be able to mirror the tools themselves? Syncing up two of them might work ...

If you ever figure out how to manipulate the hair data directly though, I have a BUNCH of ideas
Did you ever look at importers? There were some GPU tools for hair in the assembly that probably don't connect properly to use them this way (never read all of it). But the RuntimeHairGeometryCreator also has LoadFromBinaryReader which might be usable? Maybe not for interactive stuff but potentially stuff like mirroring and merging?

Edit: @vambearvam figured out something it seems? See discord

How do you create hairstyles?

 

[Samiola]

What i mean effect the desktop and to some point vr, its when you're in hair styling mod you see you're hair styling tools and you can change the size of the tool or the strength of pulling or grabbing etc. in that mod you can't manipulate these tools position by using numbers like in body parts or assets your only allowed to move the hair styling tolls by just grabbing you can't use the Z and Y and X axises.

Interesting tool but I'm not seeing that it provides a way to cut or trim hair, it looks like it just moves it around.

It's just extending the normal hair tool.
Every single normal feature of the hair tool is available.

With the hair creator in the Hair tab of a character.

I understand pretty much nothing of what you're trying to say.
Better hair tool is extending the normal behavior of the hairstyles tools, they behave as usual for anything else.
