i honestly like the clay hair better because like others mentioned above it seems to fit with the style of sims 4 better. i think that a lot of alpha hair doesn't look especially "natural" either, because sure it's realistic but it looks more like heavily-maintained supermodel hair than hair you'd find on a real person.
I play with both only started using alpha again couple of days ago and brought the life back the hairs imo have a lot of personality and all look so different
Btw where did you get the alpha hair from the first pic absolutely need it
I just recently caved -maybe a month or so ago to cc's and mods again lol, and have to say I prefer the alpha versions instead of the clay as I like the more realistic look
'clay' lol.. these kids yeah what you guys call 'alpha' hairs are my favorites because of the realism, but 'maxis' are cool too.. they remind cartoons as i said before, like Sims 4 vide, i understand why some people prefer them... to be honest this 'maxis' vs 'alpha' classification is totally wrong, 'maxis' hairs are the ones that have the same MESH style and colors (texture) as EA vanilla ones, but 'alpha' is waaaay to generic since would include both Newsea and Hallowsims hairs for example, witch have very different mapping and texture styles... the correct should say 'vanilla' meshes VS 'non-vanilla' meshes...
I like clay better. It fits with the game more, and it doesn't interfere with my other mods and cc, and alpha hair has odd colors sometimes that don't fit in.
that is totally relative, there are like 20 types of 'alpha' as you said, creators have different sytles, you cant put all 'alpha' hair on the same category. and the reason some of those hairs have strange colors is because most of those creators are excelent on mesh making but they lack of skill on texture making, i agree some of the 'alpha' hairs have some dull colors, i just change them on sim4studio for colors i want.

Alpha all the way. I initially liked the Clay style when I finally switched to Sims 4 but after installing just a few Alpha styles, I just couldn't go back. It's horrible seeing the two very different styles in the game together though, I can understand why so many don't use Alpha to keep a sense of consistency in their game.
I've realized that I generally use alpha hair for gorgeous, supermodel type characters, while I often use clay hair for average to unattractive Sims. There are definitely exceptions though.
clay hair fits with the style of the sims 4, and as someone who's used both alpha and clay in the past I don't care for either one or the other, however, clay hair is more visually appealing in relation to the games cosmetic style, if that makes sense

Although I find clay hair more fun with shapes and I wish for more alpha short hairstyles for my girls!
