I have saved the hair I'm working on in the "hair" category of the libraries. But I'm having a hard time changing the material room settings into mat poses. I change the "mtlCollection" to "figure"
and save as a .pz2 but it is not applying.

I usually use MPE to make all of my mat poses... but it does not want to open my newly saved hair prop....

what am i doing wrong :(

Figure is for figure hair. You said you saved it in the hair category. Try actor $CURRENT or look at another hair prop mat pose. But figure as you have discovered will not work on prop hair.

If the hair is a prop then it must be parented to a figure or at least have a figure in the scene for the mat pose to apply. Try changing the figure line to    actor $CURRENT   and see if that helps.

I used note pad to look at my hair... and compare to other hairs.... they are not the same...
I want to save my hair either in the 'hair' category or the 'figures' category... it doesn't really matter as long as it works and works properly.
I must be missing something...

your hair is basicly a prop. you position it so that it fits the head. and you parent it to the head. after that just save it as hair.
