This mod basically cut out pieces from various vanilla hairstyles and adds them to the Chin section of the "General" tab in CC (I tried to keep the meshes as vanilla as possible, but had to make some changes to a couple parts in order for them to work well).
I've also started doing more heavily edited parts, as well as parts from hairs in my OC hair mod.
You can also find this mod on on Mod.io
As of Patch 7/mod version 1.4.0, you only need ImprovedUI for this!
You will need Patches for CC Mods if you want compatibility with other mods that edit Races.lsx (such as my regular hair mod, P4 Bangs Bangs Everywhere, or other mods listed in this article.)
Current KHE version (1.3.0) requires Races.lsx version 4.0.2.0 if you have any other mods listed in the above article.
Hair extensions added in 1.3.0 will not be seen while you have Races.lsx version 4.0.1.1 (or lower) active.

Installation
How To Install BG3 Mods
Download it, unzip, and install with your mod manager (I use BG3MM).
Make sure It is loaded before/above Patches for CC Mods if you are still on Patch 6/mod version 1.3.0 (or earlier).
You can find the info needed for Manual Installation in the info.json file that comes with each pak.
Uninstallation
You should be safe to simply remove it from the load order and/or delete it. The hair parts should simply disappear from any characters using them; the only issue would be that the next time you use the Magic Mirror on that save, you might have to hit "randomize" before you can save your new appearance.

Known Issues:
- Hair extensions appear for Dragonborn too (because I tied them to the Humanoid tag to make them compatible with custom races and Dragonborn fall under that tag; very low priority)
- Weird interactions between hairs with physics (explained in old FAQ article; cannot fix)
- Not compatible with Plus UI (extensions are put in the "Body" tab and prevent the player from checking "Hide Clothes"; I am not responsible for how Plus UI moves things around therefore this is not something to fix on my end)
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you add them to other slots too?
Spoiler:
Show
I have no plans at this time to make duplicates for other slots. I am hoping to eventually learn how to add new slots with the toolkit though. Maybe. One day :')
However, if you want to make a patch to enable the parts in other slots, feel free to do so as long as it is dependent on this mod.

Can you add an option that has two parts together?
Spoiler:
Show
I would rather not. Adding combo options (that don't come from the same base hairstyle) could get overwhelming very quickly.
If you would like to merge some options together yourself, the BG3 Modding Community Wiki has resources to help, and the folks in the Down By The River and BG3 Modding Community discord servers are quite friendly (and a huge reason that I've been able to learn so much after having never touched Blender or xml files prior to October 2023)

Why doesn't the color on some hair extensions match with regular hairs?
Spoiler:
Show
A lot of vanilla hairstyles don't share the same texture, and the texture is part of what determines how the hair is colored.
While some textures are pretty similar to each other, others may be lighter or darker than the others (not to mention being straight/wavy/curly/coily/etc.) so if the hair extension doesn't share the same texture as the regular hair you pair it with, there's a good change there will be a minor color discrepancy.
