Mord-Sith hair - where to get?

I recently got a wonderful Mord-Sith outfit for my shapeshifter alt, but I need the hair to go with it.

The hair is pulled tightly back into a braided bun at the crown of the head. A long braid comes down from the bun, reaching just below the waist. I am looking for the style in a light blonde, like in the pics below.

I am aware of the Sirena Denna hair from Natalia Zelmanov, which I will probably get, but I'd like to know what other options are available. In particular, I'd like the descending braid to be flexi -- I think that means it has to be a single prim with a braid texture, rather than multiple braided prims.

Does anyone know of other places to get hair like this? Thanks for any help you can give. :-)

Yay, another Seeker fan!!!

I love that show.

There may be one at Gurl6, but I don't know if it's flexi.

I just went and peeked and the braids she has are not close enough to the style.

:D

I'm not usually into fantasy stuff, being more of a sci-fi girl, but I just can't get enough Seeker. Yummy Darken Rahl and hot chicks in leather ain't hurtin' any. :p

The flexi isn't a requirement. It's a trade-off, really. If it's not flexi, a braid that long and stiff doesn't look too natural. But if it IS flexi, then (a) being a single prim might make it too fake looking, and (b) it can't have the little tuft of loose hair at the end. Either way, it's not going to be perfect.

Drats. :(

You know, it might be good enough to even have just the top part, the pulled back hair and the braided bun. I made a prototype flexi braid with a texture I made with Filter Forge and Photoshop, and it doesn't look absolutely horrible, so maybe I could match the hair and add on the braid myself. Hmmm... can we do flexi sculpties? I'll have to experiment.

Hmmm, the book was about as sexy as dirt. This sounds much more interesting...

I was going to suggest the Sirena style right off... but then I saw that you'd already found it.

It does not have the braid wrapping the bun, but Wilted Rose has a style named Obey that has a wonderfully flexi braid that twitches and lashes wonderfully whenever the avatar moves. There is a thick jeweled band wrapped around the base of the braid. It doesn't quite fit what you are looking for, but it might be able to be modified for the right effect.

Okay, happiness then sadness.

I checked XSL page, which has another style that DOES have the braided bun, although on the back of the head and with a loose ponytail. Still, it looked nice, so I went looking for the one you mentioned.

Only to find out that Wilted Rose closed earlier this month. :(

Rose is opening a new store called Nevermind, but it's not there yet. And from her blog, it looks like the Wilted Rose stuff has been retired for good. Drat!

Thanks, though. :)
