'''Will there be issues if I import another (or more) vanilla hair mesh to add parts of it to my hair?''' You can definitely do this, and it’s a great way to make a hairstyle look unique. However, make sure all of your meshes are parented to one armature. If your hair meshes use the same material (same hair texture), we recommend [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxmgZ_X1kbI combining them for simplicity] once you’re done.
