All I can tell you is what I learned watching Dirty Weasel's tutorial on nif optimizer.

He taught that when you optimize a head/face nif, you have to do that nif by itself, with no other nifs. Then you check *all four* boxes:

Head Parts Only
Clean Skinning
Calculate Bounds
Remove Parallax

Supposedly this works, but I don't know.

I saw a couple NIF like this too. I think on Bijin mods (one of them Warmaidens, NPCs, Wives). But as long as it works in game, I am not questioning what Nifskope shows.

You are right, it works in game. I am just curious maybe it could be solved easily

Since I don't know how Skyrim (or any other game) parses the data in nif files to begin with, I can't imagine how this floating hair would show up as properly attached to the game once loaded.

The fact that it apparently *does* show up properly in game is quite interesting.

I still think a good answer might be to go find some other mod (look around in follower mods or something) with nifs that have face/hair data - and do a compare of values - if you can find a mod that has hair that shows as properly attached in nif scope (and that works in game) ...and compare how its data is similar or different to the data of this mod...it might grant you some insight.

I would say it is not the actual NIF file, but NIFskope the NIF viewer software. This software was developed by third party creator, not Bethesda. It's not perfect. But as long as it doesn't screw up anything, I call it good.
