Suggestions?

So I noticed my game severely lacked decent curly hair. I mean not everyone has perfect wavy hair, or straight as a pole hair. So I took a shot alpha editing Cazy's converted Myos hair. I need some feedback please!

Here's my issues:

1. Curls look great in a light color as you can see, but kinda blend in together on darker colors. Minor enough to leave it or is there a way around it without losing the shading for the curls? Examples:

2. It's not very noticeable in this picture, but the straight part doesn't line up along the top of the head. I've tested for about an hour now different sizes/locations of the curls and straight parts to line it up. I conclude that the way the hair is UV mapped, it will probably be next to impossible.Example:

3. I just now noticed it's a bit wide the head. It's near impossible to get it "flatter" by alpha editing it. Is there directions somewhere on how to break a package apart and just make the hair slimmer? Or someone nice enough to help me out?
4. Do the bangs look weird? They seem to be UV mapped to the same portion of one of the curls, but mapped at the end of the texture.  So again, probably impossible to get it to line up correctly. Bothersome?

I don't understand 1. It looks good!
2 might be a bit annoying, but still not bad bad.

That's...simply gorgeous. The little flaws you mentioned are barely noticeable, and one I can't see at all! What a great revival of that mesh too!

This brings me to a little question...would you mind terribly if I attempted this for TS2? I'll give you credit for the original idea of course :)

I think this looks really, really cute and i don't really see a problem with the darker colors, but... those bangs are kinda awkward. Cause the rest of the hair starts off straight at the top of the head and then curls up and the bangs are curly right away. Does that make sense? But if it's not fixable, it's not fixable. It's still really cute and the curls look much better than the original.

This is beautiful, I love it. I can barely/can't notice the problems mentioned. You put so much care into your work. <3
I do think the bangs are a little strange. Maybe if they were straighter at the roots like the rest of the hair? I'm not really sure, my hair is quite straight so I probably wouldn't give the best advice.
Regardless, it's gorgeous.

It's great, where can I get it?. Curly hair is always naturally wider than straight hair, it looks real.
