!Highlights are controlled by vertex paint in BG3.
Black/Red = Base hair (no highlights)

Blue (#0000FF) = highlights

Green (#00FF00) = thickness

Every shade inbetween determines the intensity of said parameters when applied to strands, including the shades between two parameters.

Watch [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skYGVG-XWNg this video] starting at 12:15 for an example of how to paint highlights using vertex paint.

You can add highlights to your custom hair using the tools built into Blender.

# Select a portion of your hair mesh. Go up to Object Mode and change to Vertex Paint mode. Make sure your shading is set to Viewport Shading.
# Set your color to black, then open Paint > Set Vertex Colors. This will change the entire mesh vertex color to black, which is equivalent to no highlight.
# Now set your color to hex #0080FF or so. This is the color we will be using to paint our highlights.
# Paint the blue color roughly where you want the highlights to be.
# Use the Blur tool to blur out the highlights as much as possible.
# Go to Paint > Dirty Vertex Colors. This will smooth the color out a little more and reduce its intensity.
# Repeat for all portions of your hair.
# Export and load into game. You should now have working highlights on your hair. Feel free to go back into Blender and adjust if necessary.<gallery mode="traditional">
