[LE] Is there a way to remove "facial hair" as a child part of "hair"?

[AndrealphusVIII]

After much fiddling in NifSkope, the CK and xEdit, I failed to hide beards when equipping a headpiece that covers the mouth, leaving me with a beard clipping through it.

 

I have to conclude that any type of facial hair can only be hidden when also the other hair is hidden, so the "facial hair" face part is a child part of the 'hair" face part.

 

I was wondering whether there's any setting to remove facial hair as a child of hair, or whether this is somehow hardcoded.

 

Could anyone enlighten me on this?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Kind regards
