Putting custom hair on NPCs?

[Cheesyhoboe]

I'm screwing around with the GECK and trying to put Kozaburo's hair onto some of my companions, but the game doesn't seem to recognize it once I exit out of the GECK. The option for Kozaburo01F shows up in the head parts, but when I save it and and boot up GECK or Fallout 3, it doesn't recognize the hair anymore and reverts back to the NONE hair. I tried messing around the loading order, but it doesn't seem to work. Anyone have any ideas?

Sounds like ESPs can't see each other in-game (it was the same in Oblivion). Does the GECK allow "merging"? If so you might try merging your companion mod with that hair mod.

No... no it doesn't. I certainly don't see the "merge loaded plug-ins" option anywhere, at least.
