Ugh this is so frustrating...

I started over, again, load Aiko, Load MLhair, Conform to Aiko (Figure 1), Open Pose folder, there are several textures for MLhair at the top, it looks like they say 1ST in the corner, under those there are a whole bunch more that say BRAID.

Anyway - I set the updo, take the bangs away and apply the color, and no matter how I do it, the hair is long and bushy again after applying any color texture. 

I tried rendering it  but its the same - long and bushy.  If I render it before the texture it renders perfect, but once I add it, it pops the hair style back to long again.

Thanks for your help I dunno how to fix it still >.<
