I just bought some hair, and I've only been on for a couple days. I can't figure out how to put the hair on my head, because every time I do, it looks like I'm wearing a poster right through my skull. Everyone I ask keeps telling me to pull the item out of my inventory and click on more, and then another option which is not available to me. Can somebody please help?
Thanks!!! I'm just a naive newbie.
- Jeanine

First post, I see. Welcome to SL  Sounds like the hair is packaged inside the poster. Drag the poster out of inventory to the ground. After it appears, right click on it and select "Edit" from the pie menu. On the editor window, click on the blue button that says "More" to expose all the whole window. Now click on the tab that says "Content" to see what's inside the poster. You should see the hair object listed. Drag it out of the poster's contents and into your inventory. To wear it, drag the actual hair, not the poster, from inventory onto your avatar.

Putting a box on your head is a Second Life rite of passage. I, for one, like it - I think it gives us something in common we call all relate to. It's also the SL version of imagining those you feel know more than you to be wearing just their underwear. We can imagine people with boxes on their heads. Any Lindens out there ever put boxes on your heads?
Welcome to Second Life, Jeanine.

I am the quintessential blockhead, I've attached more things to my skull than is probably legal....and I've only been in the game 4 hours.

I have been designing these flowers that are 20m in diameter. More than once I have tried to drag one out of inventory onto the ground but dropped it on my head instead. Suddenly I'm a cast member of Beach Blanket Babylon.
Have fun in SL Jeanine! You will get the hang of its quirks pretty quickly. I ended up with a box on my head the first time I bought a shirt.
There should be a standard script and notecard for boxed objects that detects when the box is being worn and offers the poor AV a little help.

And as a sidenote, if your shopping for clothing for a partner or significant other of the opposite sex, make sure you uncheck the WEAR CLOTHING NOW option in the buy menu.  Trust me, as I won't go into further details.

It's not a difficult thing to learn - and it gives us such rich memories - I'd hate to deprive newcomers of that experience. When things are easy from the get-go they are often boring.

It's so nice to not feel alone with all the boxes I have placed all over my body trying to figure out how to wear what's actually *IN* the box . Thanks all, I feel sooo much better now! oh and thanks for the *how to* as well. |

Trust me, as I won't go into further details. I still do this with regularity and I usually don't even notice. Walk out of a store a full blown, cross-dressing fashion disaster.  I just need to add some Boy George hair to feel complete.

Buy hair from Elikapeka Tiruamisu, Starley Thereian, Lost Thereian, Bailey MacKenzie, Delairen Baysklef, etc....they all give you a nice folder with the hair already unpackaged in your inventory. No more box head! Just click on the little gold cube that says what kind of hair it is--voila! New 'do! (p.s.--the hair may not fit perfectly, think of it like a wig, so IM the designer and they can give you tips for resizing/editing) Good luck and welcome to SL |

Hello Jeanine Oe,
Your not alone. . . I recently had to figure out how to get some tatoos on my avatar. . but only succeeded in having the poster on me skull. . .looked like some construction accident survivor. . LOL. To the title I've placed. . . I think Lucy has NO Idea how true that saying is for us newbies. Anyhoo. . as some have mentioned. . . .you have to drag the box and place it outside near you. Click on it and click edit. . once there click more in the options menu. . then hit contents to see what it has. Then click on the parts that you want and drag them to your inventory. From there you can apply them. Good luck to you and wel come to SL!!!!!^_^
