How to turn vanilla hair into an Armor Addon record?

[FishBiter]

So what I need to do is, I need to add vanilla hair to a piece of head armor. However, the head armor is a model from a mod and I'm not planning to modify that model and reupload it. Instead what I want to do is to add the hair as an Armor Addon by adding it to the Armature parts for the Armor piece.

 

I've successfully made the vanilla hair into an Armor Addon and gotten it to show up alongside the armor piece. However, there are still some issues:

 

1. The texture for the hair doesn't look like it's supposed to. It looks like a weird blurry stretchy mess. The hair itself is the correct shape, but the texture doesn't seem to be getting applied correctly. I've tried making a Texture Set that points to the hair's textures, and then add that as an Alternate Texture to the hair Armor Addon, but this didn't fix it.

 

2. Most vanilla hair is two pieces, the hair and the hairline. Both need to be displayed for the hair to look right, but both meshes use the same slots so if I turn each into an Armor Addon and add them, only one shows. Opening the model in Nifskope and messing with the slots there has only succeeded in turning them invisible in game.
