I'll bet on it having something to do with Phi, or possibly with Jenny Smith. I don't see him as willing to take much effort for a male, Buck might be able to convince Ripp to let him do something with it I doubt Ripp would keep it past the oh that looks great moment.

Congrats on your first re texture! It looks great! I haven't explored hair much yet though I've begun to venture into clothing a bit. That's scary enough for me :)
